Outstanding video. There appears to be a flaw in the narration. At 7:05 the narrator says " ..stored in tanks at 250psi ...Acetylene is dissolved in acetone which is a porous material made from pomice, balsawood or other material" This is NOT correct. Acetylene is dissolved in acetone which is a SOLVENT poured/placed in a lattice made of pomice balsawood or other sponge like material. The acetone absorbs a lot of acetylene and allows the acetylene to be stored at lower pressures. Acetone impregnates the spongy material and minimises the risk that acetylene decomposes in carbon and hydrogen which would cause an explosion
