Today's Lesson: Making a NO2 Bulb Piercier
(Note: If you are under 18, you didn't hear this from me. Go back to rotting your brain with humbugs and pennywhistles, or whatever you young folk are into nowadays)
Go to Mitre 10 and purchase a 30mm-long, 20mm-diameter piece of brass plumbing fitting. Also purchase a 20mm brass cap (outside thread) and a 20mm-15mm nipple fitting (outside thread). Then get a 15mm brass cap (inside thread) and take it home and drill 4 holes in it or ask the M10 helper to do it for you. Then superglue a small, pointy screw in the inside of the cap, so's the pointy bit's pointing down to spike your finger.
Combine the pieces in this order - 20mm cap, sleeve, nipple, 15mm cap. Tightly fit a plastic tube around the 15mm cap, so you can breathe through it without touching any metal with your lips (important).
Fit a nitrous bulb into the charger, and screw the top cap down and the bottom cap up until the point of the screw pierces the seal of the bulb. Inhale.
This will cost you about $11, far cheapre than the $50 they want for 'em in Cosmic Corner!
Or hang out with a dentist.

Posted by: Vincent at May 10, 2005 11:47 AMAs long as I have a manual (or someone gives me the gist of it) I'll have a crack at anything. I can wire a 3-pin plug and a standard light-fitting...
Is it still possible to buy bulbs and if so where? I haven't seen them around for years.
