LPE on dry ice

[Renamed99]

Hey, recently i was researching dry ice projects.

It's really cool to make fogs for drink's, but one thing stood out for me.

Somewhere on youtube guy made jar explode cause of dry ice.

So , when dry ice melt it doesn't become a liquid,it becomes air and produces high pressure .

So i am asking people who has experience with lego pneumatics , Would it be possible to power lpe on dry ice?

I've seen it been done on YouTube.

I've seen it been done on YouTube.

That means I can do it too, right?

yes i think is possible, but you have to have a valve that limit the pressure to 3bar (this is the lego limit) or calculate it with some formulas (knowing the weight of the dry ice and the volume of your air tank), especially if you want to recharge it with solid dry ice

I run my engines on 8 bar, and have run them on 10 bars aswell.

Yes but you larger inlet and outlet holes and stronger hosing......

From a pressure perspective it would certainly work, but I think the low temperatures would make the seals brittle and perhaps cause them to crack. I wouldn't do it.

[nicjasno]

Not necessarily crack, but cold temperatures would make them leak,

But when there is the friction of the cylinders more heat is created so it might even out.
