Gas Chamber

Would c02 cans used for paint balls guns produce pure c02 suitable for gasing? I'm not sure, never used em.

Assuming they do, a person could rig one up to some hoses and a rubbermaid to make an on hand gasing chamber. Drop the rodents in, release the gas, and bam, dead. I could make a whole diy about it. :P

Someone else mentioned those as a viable alternative to dry ice in another thread. I'd love to see a DIY for this one. :)

It'd be so simple. Get a tupperware contained, cut a hole in it for a tube. Stick the tube in a the nose of those massive c02 cans. Release gas.

godfather, it is very easy and works wonders. Dry ice or the co2 tanks is perfect to use. A mini chamber can easily be rigged a few plastic tubes

Paintball supplies are perfect for this - just make sure you have airtight containers & stoppers. Good luck with your project.

as I mentioned in another post, there are things called crackers to use. Its basicly a chamber with a pin in it and you screw the container together and it pops the co2 chamber. Then you can put a balloon over the cracker, fill it. Then put your mice in a rubbermaid container that seals completely and drop the balloon in there with them and close it quick. Or you can hook a tube directly to the cracker and run it into the container and release the gas. It is easily done

just dont make the container airtight then put the gas in because you wouldnt want it to explode from too much air in it all though i dont really know what im talking about

some kid back in high school got caught using one of those cracker things to get high off the c02 in the bathroom. it was really, really funny.

how the heck can u get high off co2.... some people are so pathetic

you can't get high offa C02
it'd just kill ya
what that guy was using was No2 now that'll get ya nice and high and kill all ur brain cells to boot
all it does is starve your brain of oxygen.......................what some people will do to ditch sobriety!!

will, its not co2 you get high off of. Its called N02. Nitrous Oxide. The same stuff dentists use on you, although dentists give it to you diluted with regular air. We did that back in high school also, that is how I know about them. If you used co2 you would probably suffocate yourself. N02 is also the pressurizer in most aerosol cans. That is why kids huff on them for the no2. I never believed in huffing, that is why we took it straight

sorry pimp, didn't see your message before i typed mine

Guys, c02 isn't toxic. I breath dry ice gas all the time, which is basically pure c02 gas. People get confused between c02 (carbon dioxide) and carbon monoxide.

The gas chamber would probly have holes in the top. The reason for this would be because c02 is heavier then air and would go to the bottom. And without holes the contained would probly blow the top off completely or just explode.

I'm gonna see what I can do with the c02 cans from wal-mart. I have no real need for a gas chamber, but I bet a lot of you could. I'd have to test it of course. And I'd need a can where flow could be controlled.

It turns out that buying co02 cans would be ineffective and expensive. Where as dry ice would be easier, faster, and cheaper.The only way I could image rigging up a dry ice powered chamber would be by using a tube connected to a bottle.

Basically it would conside of a 10 gallon tank. A 2 litter bottle, and dry ice and water.

This would only be worth while when killing dozens of them also, gasing a mouse is really kinda pointless.

Ok, you'd take the top of the coke bottle, and cut a hole in it for the tubing. That or stick tubing inside the bottle. Then you'd gather your mice, this one gadget could kill probly 1000. Put them in closed containers, such as 10 gallons. Stick the dry ice into the bottle, and add water. Secure the tubing and proceed to fill the containers with a thick white gas, c02. One filling should last enough to finish them all off. They'd probly pass out after a minute. And die later. Might need a few fillings of dry ice to keep the supply of c02 going.

Seriously, this could be a heck of a mass killing if done right. Would you enjoy a visual DIY along these lines? If so I'll write one up.

If you mx vinegar and baking soda, it creates a gas that will do the same as dry ice- it was me who gave the info on the gas techniques before, I got the link, I will attach it again, gives a good tutorial on making gas chambers.

K, here is the link again.

Also, here is the link to the sticky topic on this.

Yeah, thats not really something easy to do, takes time. I wonder how many gallons a fist sized piece of dry ice makes, plus you get thicker smoke :)

I'll test that method tho.

no the kid used a c02 cartidge. and a whip-it cracker.

Where can you buy dry ice? If I start to breed rats I'll a killing method.
You should make another DIY about one of the killing methods! :)

I discussed the dry ice method of putting the mice/rats down with the guy that I buy my mice from.

He advised that although it would work, it wouldn't be very quick and would take them a while to actually die.

He bit the bullet and bought one of those air tanks with a regulator on it which put him out about $160. That's really the only major expense that was involved. He told me that he only has to have it recharged about every 4 months at about 18 bucks a pop. Not too bad. AND, he's got over 50 snakes to feed that are his own.

He's got some type of gas chamber rigged up (a rubbermade). He drops the mice in, hits the gas and they're all dean in about 5 seconds. He advised me that the pressure from the tank is a big factor as well as the co2.

He told me that using the dry ice method, although it may work, would take a lot longer to kill them, and may be more uncomfortable for them too.
