Slowpoke 3rd Gear February 13, 2004 Share February 13, 2004 NOS stands for Nitrous Oxide Systems... its a company's name, and you guess it! This company sells Nitrous products (the famous Blue bottle). The actual name of the gas is Nitrous Oxide, chemical symbol is N20. A molecule of N20 contains two atoms of Nitrogen and one atom of oxygen. When injected into the engine the gas breaks down, the nitrogen helps cool the combustion chamber (remember that nitrogen is inert) while the extra oxygen atom gives the extra ommph in your combustion. N20 itself is not combustable (just like CO2) despite popular misconception, further perpetrated by stupid movies like Legend of Speed 2 and Fast and Foolish...opps Furious, where they show the N20 bottles exploding into spectacular fireballs. In real life, N20 bottles at most will burst/explode when punctured or heated, there will not be any incendiary effect by itself. In the pic above, probably the fuel line also got involved in the freak explosion thus the burned out engine bay. Sidenote, dentists in the early days used to administer Nitrous Oxide to patients as an anesthetic. Nitrous Oxide was also known as Laughing Gas due to its intoxicating effects when inhaled.

Slowpoke 3rd Gear February 15, 2004 Share February 15, 2004 actually some audio component company is offering a basetube in the shape of a nitrous bottle. Looks exactly like the real bottle, complete with the signature NOS blue colour, even had me fooled the first time I saw it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
