Quotes
-
Matthew Casey : Okay, you recording?
Naomi Graham : Yeah. So talk me through this. What are we doing?
Matthew Casey : We are trying to recreate the conditions inside the kitchen of a Grandbrook trailer. See if we can get this refrigerator to fail.
Naomi Graham : What's your theory?
Matthew Casey : A gas absorption fridge runs on hydrogen and ammonia, but this third-rate appliance has no heat shielding around the tank. And then the geniuses at Grandbrook install it right next to a stove. If the tank heats up enough, it gets overpressured, which triggers the blowoff valve, releasing a volatile mixture of fuel and oxidizer right next to the hot stove. Kablooey.
Naomi Graham : [laughs] I never would have figured that out on my own. I don't know how to thank you for all you're doing.
[the back of the refrigerator catches fire]
Naomi Graham : You were right.
Matthew Casey : Now you have your proof.
