I couldn't find co detector that gives more than 999 measure. where did you get that from?
Is there a way for you to link to it? I can't find it but I'd like to see it!
Uou, how that happened? According to some reseach, you should not just lose consciouness, but die in less than 20 minutes with this concentration. About the tip to sleep rapidly, you can consume sleeping pills to accelerate the process.
Wouldn't a generator work? I know modern cars have catalytic converter and don't produce as much CO. And charcoal grills probably aren't as reliable either.
Yes it would work but charcoal also works. You could do both but for the generator you have to make sure you have one that doesn't have automatic co shutoff sensors. Modern generators have sensors that detect when co displaces oxygen in an environment and automatically shuts off. So get older generators like the Westinghouse wgen9500df or other ones that are cheaper and don't have automatic co shutoff sensors.

Thank you! Ironically that is exactly the generator I have!Yes it would work but charcoal also works.

what kind of coal you used? also maybe your CO is not accurate it could happen I bought one from amazon too and I don't think it's accurate and other commentaries says the same. buy one more up to 1000ppm but whit good reviews and test them both in same air if they reach 1000 same time.
You would have been good as dead with that much ppm, good chance the reader wasn't accurate. CO method is fine but I'm combing CO with HCN just in case. So I could die 100%.
I can get a 10k PPM tank, 100+ liters at a pressure that's about 10k liters total , which should be very quick but doesn't allow for a very safe test run. I'd not want to run that tank dry or it could be very dangerous to anyone finding me
Can you tell me how you can get a tank or pm me with more info?
No . I lit them in the balcony. Waited for them to glow red, fire and smoke go out, and the brought them in to the bathroom.
Pure carbon monoxide doesn't cause suffocation feeling because it bypasses the lungs unnoticed. 4500ppm should knock you out in minutes, doesn't make sense, Perhaps room wasn't sealed properly?No . I lit them in the balcony. Waited for them to glow red, fire and smoke go out, and the brought them in to the bathroom.
People dying easily by carbon monoxide accidentally. But it is tough to make it happen on purpose. Here is an accidental co death.

Andhra Pradesh horror: 4 family members die in sleep after inhaling fumes from bike left running all night - The Economic Times
A family of four, including a grandfather and three young children, tragically died in Andhra Pradesh from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning. The victims inhaled fumes from a motorbike left running overnight inside their home. The incident has prompted a police investigation and raised safety...
Inefficient is the wrong choice of words. Charcoal is equally effective. It just involves more prepping.
When burning charcoal, two gases produced are carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) ... hence the suffocation feeling with this method
I said ineffective which in many cases burning charcoal is. Better to use a tank of carbon monoxide with a regulator and flow meter.
Wrong, CO is that potent. It kills you long before carbon dioxide triggers your suffocation alarm.
(Typo—meant ineffective) Except, not many people have the luxury of getting their hands on a CO cylinder.
The highest PPM I could find was 10k aka 1% CO gas, 20% would be 200k ppm then? that's basically a one big breath and done if so, which is very attractive
I keep thinking about how ironic that is.
okay. but how big is the house\room and how much Charcoal\carbon needed?
It's the same thing with drug overdoses, more likely to die on accident than on purpose. As for the house and charcoal it all depends on the person, I'm probably going to rent an average sized single family house and get 16 lbs of charcoal (which is more than enough) but I'm also going to be producing hydrogen cyanide which is 35 times more lethal than carbon monoxide.
