I&#39;m surprised Humble Bundle uses a partner link that obfuscates and, if I saw it in an email, would have assumed it was a phishing attempt.</p>

He then hit it with water from a fire hose to demonstrate what happens. He definitely made his point. 🔥 😵</p>

Mixing itself can just be done by adjusting partial pressures, see how Hyperspace Pirate on youtube handles their gas supplies. It can definitely be done once you have understand that it can blow on you and that would not be fun. A common argon cylinder holds something between 60 and 100 atmospheres of pressure. I consider that a &quot;big nope to play with&quot;.</p>

Some magnesium reacting is probably not an issue for you unless your supply of oxygen is limited, but I once bought 10kg of magnesium and am yet to run out of it.</p>
