In offshore operations, excess gas cannot be released into the air, whilst pressure buildup inside pipelines is extremely dangerous. A flare gun fires a burning charge toward the flare stack. The gas ignites at a controlled point.

A pickle jar can function as a tiny jet engine. The setup is simple: a glass jar with a small hole in the lid holds a volatile fuel like methanol, which evaporates to create a fuel and air mixture inside. A flame brought to the hole ignites it, and the cycle begins. Here is what happens in each pulse. Combustion sends a sharp pressure spike through the jar, forcing hot gas out the lid hole as thrust. The escaping gas creates a brief partial vacuum inside, which pulls fresh air back in through the same hole. Residual heat ignites the new mixture automatically, and the cycle repeats dozens to hundreds of times per second. The jar and hole act as a resonant cavity, which is why it pulses instead of burning steadily. A single opening cannot handle exhaust and intake at the same time, so the system locks into a natural rhythm. It produces almost no real thrust, but it is a clear window into how actual pulsejet engines work, and the physics on display are the same ones used in real aerospace propulsion. Follow for more!

🔥 On Lake Baikal in Siberia, Russia, a guide lit methane gas trapped beneath the winter ice, producing visible flames. The methane is released by bacteria living in the lakebed, which generate the gas as they break down organic material. In summer it escapes into the air, but in winter it accumulates under the ice in bubbles. When ignited, the trapped gas flares up, creating a dramatic display.

Have a 👀 at the gas industry ripping into SW QLD in a big way, country is being pushed over to make way for pipelines & wellpads, most of the gas is for export. Help me get this out, it needs attention, no ones knows about the scope of these works #CSG #AUSpol #CoalGas #Fracking

A man was arrested after police say he demanded free gas at a station in Irvine. Police say he walked into the gas station, demanded $55 in gas and refused to pay. He then decided to camp out at the station, waiting for free gas that, of course, never arrived. "I sincerely believe that money as a unit of payment is not real," the man told officers as he sat inside his car.

🇱🇧🇮🇱 They wanted to release a victory video. Instead, they released a lesson from southern Lebanon: the issue is not the size of the weapons. It is the moment one Hezbollah fighter appears, fires at point-blank range, and throws an entire force inside a building into confusion. The land they do not know… should not be entered with a camera.
