I cut open an AL80 tank today

[GaryBDavis]

One of the LDS asked me to slice the head of an AL80 tank for display in their classroom. Pretty cool to see a cut-a-way side view of a tank. Now I need to find a steel tank to do the same to see the comparison.

Pretty cool! It's thicker up near the top than I would've anticipated.

How about cutting a valve in half so that it fits in the tank neck?

How about the bottom? I remember the old tanks had spherical bottoms (like the CO2 cartridges). Is it really flat bottomed or is it just so it can stand upright.

How about the bottom?

Have you ever seen the manufacturing process?

Very nice, thanks for the vid

I love field trips (even virtual ones.)

Question for the day: Does God love me for some unexplained reason and blessed me with a wonderful wife OR Did God bless me with a wonderful wife and, therefore, has learned to love me for her sake?

Well your question leaves me with yet a third possibility.

Is God mad at your wife?

All things considered, when you see the effort involved in manufacture, scuba tanks seem pretty reasonably priced.
