Interesting tidbit. Those cans of compressed air actually aren't compressed air, but actually a refrigerant-based propellant containing difluoroethane.

Some kids have died from huffing it.

Yeah, turn it upside down and spray it on your arm and see what happened.

Don't actually, but I recommend spraying it upsidedown once just to see what happens.

rofl.

If you spray it upsidedown into a glass of water you can hear the gas bubbling out of the water. It is pretty cool.

I used to working office services at an oil company so I figured out how to entertain myself with everyday items...

Oh I didn't know it was all chemical.
I was wondering why the can was turning so cold while I was spraying the compressed air in my computer.

Anyway, as for the liquid chemical inside the can, is it harmful for the computer chips inside? As I was dusting off the inside, I sprayed some on the computer chips as well (to get the dust off the chips), abit of liquid came out. They evaporated pretty quickly but I was wondering if they could accidentally damage the chips.
