Yes, but you gotta be careful if you're going to pick one up and then use this technique. Those things get burning hot. You'd need thick gloves, or you'd need to hit it first shot.
I'm sorry, but your understanding of physics is incorrect. Water has a very high heat capacity. A tear gas canister is made of thin metal. It won't flash more than a few drops of that bottle of water to steam before cooling down.
Also, if it did, traffic cones aren't nailed down, are they? It would explode out the sides.
Thirdly, I have personally seen people with gloves grab tear gas canisters and throw em back. They don't keep hold of them for very long, and their gloves aren't damaged.
Think about your oven, turned up to 500 degrees. You put a cast iron pan on one rack, and a 10x10-inch sheet of aluminum foil on another rack. While they heat up, fill two sinks halfway with water. Pull the pan out of the oven and throw it in a sink. Pull the sheet of aluminum foil out and throw it in the other sink. Which produces more steam?
The pan and foil were both the same temperature, 500 degrees, but one had more heat capacity than the other.
I watched a live stream from NJ yesterday. The homies were quick to throw a cone on a canister, and 2-3 liters of water were quickly applied. It did not seem to make any difference. I would guess there is a difference between what is being deployed by feds in the US and whatever they were using in HK. Leaf blowers or leather gloves for returning them to the sender are probably more effective options for us.
Smoke up yo ass isn't the problem the man says it is. One generally can't achieve enough pressure with human lungs and lips alone. really, you end up blowing a seal before you pop a tire
I am not a doctor I'm just talking out my ass so go nuts really.
Not effectively. The amount of dispersed chemicals is going to spread far beyond what a leaf blower could push back. Even an entire front row of leaf blowers isn't going to be effective, because they don't just launch these in front of you. Are you going to leaf blow the gas towards the back of the crowd when you turn around?
This is something I learned from the Hong Kong protests over the 2018 national security act. Of course I had to learn it by watching footage of the brave people having to do it live.
Nah, same like you can't light a rolled paper filled with water but cook the water instead. The water equalizes the temperature before the sueface gets too hot.

(Okay, yeah. This method is less likely to be successful, I suppose. But it's a lot more fun.)

Oven mitt and a water bucket. you can fit multiple in the bucket and it is faster.

Easier to carry traffic cones

Also there might even just be…be some hanging around…
Even still, the bucket and all is cool too! Nice to have options, for flexibility. :3

I mean, hell, I've pulled aluminum foil out of an oven and it's safe to handle without protection in seconds of coming out

Welding gloves should work fine, tho, esp. given the time period is rather short

That last frame looks like the cone blew its load after getting smoke up its ass.

THROW THEM BACK

I wonder if just carrying the cone upside down with a water balloon already inside and then dumping it overtop would work.
I think they tend to get hot so would probably pop water balloon quickly to smother with the water.

Could work. I'd be worried that it would pop prematurely
WraithGear@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 74d
most cones are slightly elevated and the water would just run out.
i think the large bucket was the preferred containment
