Casper Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Anyone seen these? Pretty damn nifty. You can use them to store water, food, etc, and they stack like legos. http://www.waterbrick.org/products.phphttp://www.thereadystore.com/water-storage/56-gallon-interlocking-waterbrick-storage-kit-16-qty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thats a good idea. could use them as a base to make a table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Or build an igloo house. Or a really big stormtrooper transport. Or an F1 car. Or a snowball fight castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've seen water used to line a fall out shelter. Each 7.2 inches of water will cut the radiation exposure in half. Of course, dirt, concrete, steel and lead each work better.The point with a fall out shelter is that you will need a lot of water anyway.edit: Shielding Design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Is water drinkable after its exposed to that kind of radiation? I mean, what's the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Good question? Is that something a few drops of iodine can handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) There are radiation waves, and radioactive particles/elements (that continuously emit radiation waves). Radiation itself alters the molecular structure of the elements that it hits. If it hits the body, molecules and body cells alter or mutate and fatal damage can be done. It's complicated. Stopping radiation can actually produce a second type of radiation from the collision. If it's stopped by water or other barriers, molecules can be altered, but mostly upward to a higher isotope. With water, not much happens.What needs filtering or removal is radioactive elements or isotopes that are in something like water in a stream that you want to drink. If it's Cobalt-60 fallout, it will kill you and it doesn't take very much to do that. Ion exchange, distillation and reverse osmosis will all reduce radioactive particles in water. But then you would have a radioactive water filter or equipment.Radioactive particles actually have to be mechanically removed (washed away) and stored till their half life goes away and they aren't dangerous anymore. Water irradiated by x-rays and gamma rays isn't horribly dangerous, but organic life can't tolerate the exposure to high amounts of x-rays and gamma rays.edit: and no, iodine drops for the water won't do it. That's for killing organic bacteria and stuff.And that's the best I can explain. A nuclear physicist would slap me silly.

kawi kid Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I know I was kidding.... Everyone I ever talks to always says just drop some iodine in it and you will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 So use a filter then trap the radioactive waste and use it to power your fall out shelter? Thats sounds like a good plan.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snot Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 MT would use for jello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 No. Jello doesn't keep well, especially after exposure to proteins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
