Imagine being able to see exactly how much gas is left in your cylinder — no more guesswork, no more cheating during refills! Someone suggested making gas cylinders like this transparent, for accountability and convenience.

But let’s be honest… just looking at it alone, e be like say e wan blow! 😂😂

It’s giving “glass bomb” vibes. Would you feel safer or more terrified using this kind of cylinder?

“Make una talk true, you fit use this kind cylinder for house? 😂

Let’s debate:
💬 Is this a smart innovation or a disaster waiting to happen?

It's ok I like it make i dey see weytin I use remain after cooking

It's already available but expensive

Not the transparent but you can still see through a bit 'fiber glass cylinder'

All that comes to mind is :

Explosions.... Fire outbreak...... Disaster

💥 💥 💥 💥 💥 💥

Why will i need to see the level of the gas? I only refill my gas went its total empty besides that transparent material if available will make the glass cylinder more expensive

It's the best. It's allows transparency and proper monitoring .

I like it

They are cool. I've seen something similar, but it's not as transparent as these... Atleast one will know when gas is about to finish, not like the others that take users by surprise. Lol

Really commendable. It will surely prevent cheating

I fear explosion after wear tear durability is another issue

Na trust issues wey we get dey cause all these kind things.

I kind of prefer this type, it makes a whole lot of sense

Who no like better thing.
It is very nice.
Oh!!!!!!!! 40 words i must

House bomb loading , I'll not be comfortable with these kind of gas cylinder o

Liquid level of gas is different from the actual level.

It will be expensive to produce a transparent gas cylinder.

Yes yes but tinubu poor policies have make Nigerians to discard their gas for firewood

It makes sense and allows one to know when one is running out of gas.

Transparency is good in every situation. But every form of advancement has its own disadvantages. Especially in a country like Nigeria where unscrupulous individuals can start using reinforced plastic or easily breakable glass materials to make the cylinders.
I hope for my own safety that the cylinders remain the way they are now for a long time to come.

As long as they can make metal (or anything equally as tough) transparent, because both glass and plastic I believe aren't strong enough to hold the compression of the gas properly.

Seems there's already a fibre glass cylinder which is translucent (not totally transparent/see through)

It will be scary at first, but with time people will get used to it.

Good innovation. Hope it's blast proof?
Price?

This stuff is beautiful sha ooooo but it will attract children

Which material do you plan to use for this? If it's safe, why not? It'll help better plan your refill so you don't run out of gas while cooking.

you cant put cooking gas in transparent containers except you want to meet in your maker in seconds

You cant put cooking gas in transparent container because it poses serious safety and hazard risks—transparent materials generally lack the strength to withstand high pressure, making them prone to cracking or bursting. Additionally, they offer less protection from heat and UV rays, which can destabilize the gas and increase explosion risks.

Scary looking too considering it's highly inflammable. Abeg, let it finish when it'll finish.

Out of context!

Please, where is 'SLAWOMIR', my real niggarrr? Is he still here with us, abi he don join his ancestors, or maybe he dey Kpanti ?

Innovation by someone thinking upside down. Run for your life

This will prevent a lot of Sunday morning disasters.

until you blow yourselves up. you never asked why cooking gas are captured in metal cylinders

What you need is a pressure guage not a transparent cylinder.
Basic science should tell you that this is not safe but Nigerians have certificates and degrees but no education.
Below is a picture of what a pressure guage looks like, its less than 9k on Jumia.

The things you see Nigerians talk about makes you wonder if we are bachwards because of bad politicians or we are backward because we have a huge percentage of our citizens who are just dvmb.

School No Be Scam Woh!

A glass cylinder can be used to hold pressure, but it is generally not recommended due to the inherent fragility of glass. Glass is susceptible to cracking and shattering under pressure, especially sudden changes in pressure or high pressures. Therefore, other materials like steel or specialized composites are typically used for applications requiring pressure containment.

It's Scientific!
