Coffee is a food group

First saw Marines flaming packets of non-dairy creamer that came in the MRE's.
Proving yet again, to my mind, that if can be burnt, broken, or killed - the U.S. Marines did it FIRST! yikes

Addendum to my last: I think (but am not certain) that fiberglass or steel wool could also possibly be used, provided the ignition source is hot enough. (I know for certain that steel wool, in particular, burns under the right conditions.)

Steel wool ignites nicely with a 9v battery

That steel wool with a 9v battery? OH MY!

^ Yep, put it in a wire cage attached to a chain or wire. Ignite, spin and capture with a long exposure smile

comes in handy for emegency kit can be used to start a fire if need be

It isn't really "combustion" in the traditional sense; it just heats to incandescence and oxidizes very quickly, and at a very high heat.

If you want to see something really special, put the steel wool in a pile of aluminum filings. lol (Actually, "don't try this at home." What you'll get is thermite, which can burn through concrete!)

mariannemarlow · 2012-10-12 07:57:36

You guys do like discussing dangerous stuff smile

I'll stick to my "thermite-free coffee"

OK, and we'll all sit around drinking coffee watching the fireworks.

Mind your fingers jmad!

Just...don't light it directly from a propane torch. roll And make sure you wear eye protection. cool

Coffee is only good for the body if it suits the problem it is being used for. So for instance if you are suffering a lot of heat problems internally from say hyper-thyroid problems then you do not want coffee. Coffee heats the body and certain organs if those organs have heat trapped you do not want to aid to that heat you should be cooling the heat to bring balance back. Coffee is more useful to the body up the rectum as a coffee enema which will actually unrestrict the Liver unlike if it goes the other way. Study coffee enemas they are powerful healers.

VastOne · 2012-10-16 03:43:18

^ I never in a million expected to hear about enemas in this thread.... Oh my, coffee has so many uses. lol

May I suggest you study Dr Max Gerson and his daughter Charlotte Gerson. You may be surprised what you find if you do. I also recommend the work of Dr William Donald Kelley who was a genius and showed Charlotte Gerson a thing or too. If you get real interested in their work you may also enjoy looking up Dr John Beard and his trophoblast theory.

Oh oh, I see a bunch of people asking, "Do you know where that coffee's been?" lol

pun not intended but fun!
I think I'll pass on the coffee enema though

Okay well there was a story of a family that bought their children up from day one aware of and using coffee enemas. The one day when visiting friends they saw someone in the house drinking coffee. They went back to their father and said "ewww we saw blah blah actually drinking coffee." They only thought it was for health via the rectum. So it depends on your mindset, wisdom and knowledge to how you think.

Some funny diagrams on how to make coffee in linux found this in /usr/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Coffee on Slackware
A generic diagram could look like this:

       ---------   0-5V  ---------  ~220V   ----------------
       |  PC   |====>====|Circuit|==========|Coffee-Machine|
       ---------         ---------          ----------------

The straight-forward circuit one can build is:

                                    Vcc
                                     |
                                     +------+
                                     |    __|__
                                   Relay   /^\  Diode 1N4002
                                    Coil  /---\
                                     |      |
                                     +------+
                                     |
                                  | /
                        4.7K    B |/  C
       parallel port >-\/\/\/\/---|        NPN Transistor: BC547A or 2N2222A
       data pi                    |\  E
                                  | \
                                    V
       parallel port >--------------+
       ground pin                   |
                                 Ground
