First off I’m sure plenty of people know this but not everyone on RE does and It still is pretty cool if done purposely.
I was in Tennessee a few weeks ago and just 3 miles down the road from where i was staying a mans barn caught on fire and burn down causing him to lose 730 or so bales of hay, a nice chevy 3500 dually and..of course his barn. Because the hay he stored in his barn spontaneously combusted, this wasn’t the first time either, it happens all year long to countless farmers..
Anyways I didn’t make this egg for a story...
When hay is baled and stored in a small barn with little space, either while it is really wet and/or still green, it goes through a curing process or "Sweats"and releases gases which is eventually carbon monoxide and methane, but when it reaches a temperature of 130 F it will begin this process and begin to turn brown and release a musty odor, then spontaneously combust, and im tired of hearing that hay catches fire from "friction"
The reason for this egg...well this is pretty damn cool if you have a small box and store green hay thats damp, to witness it combust,
but mainly for informational egg,
As far as ratings go i really don’t care, because like i said i just wanted to inform the people who say this is all because of friction

Aug 16, 2008 7:17 am - i think by friction they mean it gets static and that lights the methane but saying its cause of friction wtf? its standing still the static i doubt has any part once i cut my overgrown garden and fille a binliner with grass and came back and stuck my hand in it it was fucking warm and soft felt like a pussy

My cousin burned his hay shed down, it destroyed like 15000 dollars worth of machinery and he got evicted.
