Vol. 1 Part 1 A to Amide “That’s awkward, sir,” said the corporal, as the detachment moved off into the night, leaving the motor-car’s acetylene lamps still blazing merrily. The Day of Wrath A Story of 1914 These methods entail the use of acetylene under pressure, and are so analogous to limelight that I shall for convenience deal with them in the chapter devoted to that illuminant. Optical Projection Part 1: Projection of Lantern Slides The impression that ring of shining clean-cloven steel left on my mind was of a cut as true and even as could have been done in dock with an acetylene flame. Sea-Hounds Then, as I watched, I saw him take from his pocket and light a small acetylene lamp, apparently a bicycle-lamp, with a green glass. Spies of the Kaiser Plotting the Downfall of England Large quantities of acetylene are generated and stored for oxy-acetylene welding. The New Gresham Encyclopedia.

Optical Projection Part 1: Projection of Lantern Slides They dined by one, virulent jet of acetylene gas, blazing in an iron loop from the middle of the ceiling. Shadows of Flames A Novel Calcium carbide owes its industrial importance to its decomposition into acetylene; lithium carbide behaves similarly. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 5, Slice 3 "Capefigue" to "Carneades" Although liquid acetylene is unstable, and even the gas, under slight pressure, is also unstable, it may be transported safely if dissolved in acetone. The New Gresham Encyclopedia. Vol. 1 Part 1 A to Amide If this gas mixed with hydrogen be passed over the reduced nickel in the cold, the temperature may rise to as high as 150�, the acetylene disappearing and becoming replaced by a substance like petroleum.

The "Genius" Acetone dissolves a large volume of acetylene, and this solution is quite stable and may be stored in iron cylinders and used for various purposes. The New Gresham Encyclopedia. Vol. 1 Part 1 A to Amide But in the developments which are now foreshadowed by the advent of acetylene gas the relation will be reversed. Twentieth Century Inventions A Forecast At very high temperatures, however, acetylene acquires real stability, since carbon and hydrogen then react to form acetylene. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 1 "Châtelet" to "Chicago" Several arclights and one or two acetylene flares illuminated the scene. "And they thought we wouldn't fight" I took off one of the acetylene head-lamps of the car and turned it in that direction, in order to ascertain who was coming along. The Count's Chauffeur A compound is made of calcium and carbon, called calcium-carbide, which, in touch with water, produces the acetylene gas.

Westward with the Prince of Wales Calcium carbide—for making acetylene, he supposed—marked "Made in U.S.A." Astounding Stories of Super-Science, June, 1930 The acetylene is bought in tanks, and the air compressed by a pump. The Automobile Storage Battery Its Care And Repair Baeyer has suggested that his hypothesis may also be applied to explain the instability of acetylene and its derivatives, and the still greater instability of the polyacetylene compounds. Encyclopaedia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 6, Slice 1 "Châtelet" to "Chicago" The door to the opening was then placed in position, and by means of an acetylene torch and some easily melting glass, the door was sealed tight.

Desert Conquest or, Precious Waters The flame is a very hot one and is very nearly as satisfactory as the oxygen and acetylene. The Automobile Storage Battery Its Care And Repair The demonstration proved in a most sensational way that acetylene was a failure—a tremendous explosion occurred; three men were killed, many others injured, and next day back went our stock to its old figures. Frenzied Finance Vol. 1: The Crime of Amalgamated A moment later the acetylene lamp was turned back and the sharp rays fell full upon the Dora and those on the forward deck. The Rover Boys in Southern Waters or The Deserted Steam Yacht We also carried a light—the acetylene lamp off Ninu’s bicycle, and it functioned as inefficiently as the bull’s-eye lantern which Mr. Pickwick took with him on his nocturnal expedition at Clifton. Castellinaria and Other Sicilian Diversions In the other room a clean-edged circle of light blazed in the centre from an acetylene lamp, leaving the walls and corners in a shadow deep by contrast to blackness.

Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries Andy stopped the flow of acetylene gas, and then his chums turned the rays of the other lamps on the disabled bicycle. The Mystery at Putnam Hall The School Chums' Strange Discovery The simplicity of the manufacture of acetylene from calcium carbide and water gives to this gas a great advantage in some cases. Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization But it has been already proved that acetylene may be polymerized, so as to produce aromatic carbides, or the derivatives of marsh gas, by the absorption of hydrogen. Scientific American Supplement, No. 443, June 28, 1884 A glare of acetylene lamps met them abruptly as they emerged, dazzling them for the moment. The Safety Curtain, and Other Stories This requires electrical power since it starts with a product of the electrical furnace, calcium carbide, familiar to us all as a source of acetylene gas. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries When the hard, gray crystals of calcium carbide are put in water, they give off acetylene, a colorless gas which burns with a brilliant white flame.

Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization "We've got an acetylene headlight such as they use on motorcycles," Tom declared. Boy Scouts in Southern Waters He marvelled that Mr. Britling lit his house with acetylene and not electric light. Mr. Britling Sees It Through That is to say, acetylene is explosive not only when mixed with air as coal gas is but by itself. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries But this was wrong, for the proclamation permitted the use of electric and acetylene lights at all hours. The Siege of Kimberley Tests show that this device is a hundred and fifty times more powerful than the ordinary acetylene signal-lamp, and it is thought that with this new electric lamp haze and smoke will seldom prevent observations. Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization Accordingly the boys secured automatics and the acetylene headlight. Boy Scouts in Southern Waters "There will be work for them at the acetylene factory." The Waters of Edera For calcium carbide is convenient and portable and acetylene, when it is once started, as by an electric shock, decomposes spontaneously by its own internal heat into hydrogen and carbon. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries And then I caught the hum of an approaching car, and was momentarily blinded by the glare of acetylene lamps. The Gloved Hand Another disadvantage is the possibility of calcium carbide accidentally spilt coming in contact with water and thereby causing the generation of acetylene gas. Artificial Light Its Influence upon Civilization Then he extinguished the acetylene lamps, and there was no light in the yard except the ray of the bicycle lantern which Myatt held in his hand. The Matador of the Five Towns and Other Stories The land would go out of cultivation — yes! — and the acetylene factories would take the place of the fragrant garden, the olive orchards, the corn lands, the pastures. The Waters of Edera This is because acetylene has stored up heat in its formation instead of giving it off as in most reactions, or to put it in chemical language, acetylene is an endothermic compound. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries He paused, for the hum of a motor-car came up the drive, and an instant later we caught the glare of the acetylenes. The Gloved Hand A tank containing about 1000 liters of dissolved acetylene and another containing about 1100 liters of oxygen supply the fuel.

The Harvester Other details as to the carbide consumed in making acetylene gas may be briefly quoted. Scott's Last Expedition Volume I As a result of these accidents M. P. E. Berthelot and L. J. G. Vieille made a series of valuable researches upon the explosion of acetylene under various conditions. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 These heated together in the electric furnace form calcium carbide and this, as every automobilist knows, gives acetylene by contact with water. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries "Why," I said, "I didn't know you had an acetylene plant." The Fortune Hunter The Harvester touched a match to a few candles and turned out the acetylene lights. The Harvester At 11 P.M. the acetylene lights are put out, and those who wish to remain up or to read in bed must depend on candle-light. Scott's Last Expedition Volume I It was therefore predicted that the introduction of acetylene on a large scale would be followed by numerous accidents unless copper and its alloys were rigidly excluded from contact with the gas. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 Acetone, which is also made from acetylene, can be converted directly into rubber by fuming sulfuric acid. Creative Chemistry Descriptive of Recent Achievements in the Chemical Industries This time the vapour caught and settled to a steady, brilliant flame as white as and much softer than acetylene. The Fortune Hunter By the use of zinc he obtained a liquid having a pleasant ethereal odor, and a gas mixture that contained besides acetylene an iodine compound which burned with a purple-edged, fawn-colored flame. Scientific American Supplement, No. 433, April 19, 1884 Owing to the many inventions for isolated lighting plants by acetylene and other kinds of gas, dwellers in the country have virtually as free a choice of illumination as the people in towns and cities. Practical Suggestions for Mother and Housewife If chlorine be bubbled up into a jar of acetylene standing over water, a violent explosion, attended with a flash of intense light and the deposition of carbon, at once takes place.

The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 His extensions, suggested in that first wonderful time—a range of glass-houses, new heating apparatus, acetylene gas installations, were well advanced. Rest Harrow A Comedy of Resolution He was alone; an acetylene lamp was shining in his face. The Saint Cazeneuve also observed that most metals which have any affinity for iodine will decompose iodoform in the presence of water, forming acetylene and an iodide of the metal. Scientific American Supplement, No. 433, April 19, 1884 "Here is the acetylene gas lamp," said Snap, picking it up from where it had fallen, near the doorway. Guns and Snowshoes Or, the Winter Outing of the Young Hunters The observation that acetylene can be resolved into its constituents by detonation is due to Berthelot, who started an explosive wave in it by firing a charge of 0.1 gram of mercury fulminate. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 They had put a table at the back of this cave, and an acetylene light illuminated it. Cæsar or Nothing When acetylene is employed, the yield is pure carbon, for the only by-product is water vapour; but if the carbide process is adopted, the carbon remains mixed with calcium oxide.
