This thread is basically to detail my latest attempt using a Generac 389cc generator in a closed one car garage.

I've done extensive research and I am for some reason dead set on going this way. People die all the time from accidental CO poisoning, so why not me?

I've talked extensively with Grok AI on the timelines to unconsciousness and death. Unfortunately for a garage of even a single car size, levels of CO that lead to unconsciousness can take hours.

I did more digging with Grok and it seems that this is the time frame until the ambient air mixture reaches levels to achieve this. According to Grok sitting in front of the exhaust stream puts out enough CO to render someone unconscious in under 5 minutes and death in 20-30.

When I tried, I stood in front of the exhaust stream, but not with my face in front of it. I started a timer on my phone and writhing 3 minutes my eyes were burning so bad and the garage was so foggy I couldn't keep going.

I plan on trying again, I'm hoping to find goggles that seal off the eyes to prevent the discomfort and if Grok is correct and unconsciousness comes within a few minutes I may be able to bear it out.

I was recently prescribed Klonopin by my dr for my anxiety and thought about downing the bottle before to relax me, but am afraid to fail the attempt and not have them and explain to my mom where they all went.

Discuss below. Thanks

Nothing on the CO- too technical for me

But on the klonopin I'm glad you decided against that. It's hard to get enough of it to OD, I think this might be a flailure. Ha-ha-ha

What year is your car? Cars since the mid 80's have catalytic converters which significantly reduce CO. Your eyes were burning not from CO but from the other exhaust gases. CO is odorless and invisible. When I did my first attempt less than a month ago you could not even tell there was CO in the car. Not smokey at all and I passed out within 2 minutes or less.

My first attempt was rushed and I did not use enough charcoal, but it was still very close. You can read about it using the below link. I plan on doing again using 4x the charcoal which should be overkill. But since I failed the first one, even though only nearly, I have been considering the suspension hanging method.

Why anxiety meds, though? Why not sedative?

It wasn't a car, it was a 389cc generator without a catalytic converter and I disabled the COsense sensor that shuts it down when Co reaches dangerous levels.

I'm aware it was from the other gases, hence why I'm looking for sealed eye protection.

All the research I've done shows these generators put out 10,000 to 50,000 ppm co in the exhaust stream, well above rapid unconscious and fatal levels - sitting in the stream will exacerbate how fast your body builds up the co.

It's what I have and klonopin is a benzo they are sedative, especially in high doses.

Yeah that sounds like it should have given you some CO effects. If I were trying something like that I might use a tarp or plastic sheeting to cover myself and the generator. That might starve the generator of oxygen though. You only did 3 minutes though so getting the goggles might help you stay longer, but those others gases are going to hurt your throat and might make you cough which reduces the peacefulness of the CO method and might trigger survival instinct. Without a CO meter it's difficult to say how much was actually building up.

Yep that's a problem, CO meters are cheap that measure up to 1000ppm but prohibitively expensive past that threshold.

Two years ago, a mother and daughter near me died accidentally in a burger wagon from a generator. They didn't know what hit them—it was that quick.

Do you know if there are any news articles about it?
