| | The thread on brakes raised a question from the past- why
| | nitrogen in the tires of big jets and heavies? Air is around
| | 78% nitrogen anyway, and the coefficient of expansion of the
| | remaining 20%
| | that's
| | oxygen can't make that much difference in volume.
| |
| | Why not just use dry air? I couldn't imagine that dry air or
| | dry nitrogen could make that much difference in corrosion,
| | either.
| |
| | I seem to recall someone giving me the rationale for this a
| | long time ago, but also seem to remember thinking it didn't
| | make that much sense at the time.

| | Well, the greasemonkies say it preserves the rubber. Having said
| | that
| | we go
| | through them pretty quick and even considering retreads there
| | wouldn't be years of exposure or anything..
| | Wheel fires may be another good reason...

| | A guy i used to work with witnessed the aftermath of someone
| | trying
| | to
| | fill a 707 nosewheel wiht an incorrect type reduction on the
| | bottle.
| | The
| | guy was pretty much vaporised. My friend spent months as a witness
| | in the subsequent lawsuit.
