Several experiments with the compound resulted in a series of fires and explosions. Some of the compounds that produced violent reactions with O2F2 include ethyl alcohol, methane, ammonia, and even water ice. Flourine is really scary stuff. If we're going to toss some FOOF at the concrete, we could also use ClF3. Clorine Triflouride is another angry oxidizer that I'm pretty sure is hypergolic with sand of all things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 7 points 3 months ago More like tossing FAFO badum'tsh permalink fedilink source parent
