	Boiling oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Boiling oil, in terms of tom, is a quantity of oil heated to high temperatures and then poured on an enemy.
		The use of boiling oil in history was probably less common than is sometimes imagined, as oil was a relatively expensive resource, and was difficult to obtain in large quantities while under siege.
		In events where boiling oil was employed, the presence of facilities such as machicolations and "murder-holes" was of considerable assistance to the defenders.

	Capital Eye - Boiling Oil
		Oil companies are hoping their considerable political clout, built up over years of generous campaign giving and lobbying, will put drilling in ANWR over the top.
		The oil and gas industry has contributed $179.7 million since 1989 to federal candidates and political parties, 74 percent to Republicans.
		Oil and gas companies have contributed $368,000 in individual and PAC contributions to Stevens since 1989, more than any other industry.

	Gold Still Boiling in Oil
		I arrived at the conclusion that the relatively high oil prices at the time were exerting substantial upward pressure on gold prices, that ice-cold gold was heating up as it was trapped in the bottom of a great cauldron of boiling oil.
		This volatile gold and oil graph is a perfect example of the raw magnitude of the Pandora's nightmares that were unleashed into the unsuspecting financial world when the US politicians tried to launch the first fully fiat world reserve currency in history.
		As oil is a commodity largely trapped in a region willing to wage a merciless holy war to destroy the only small refuge of freedom and democracy in the Middle East, Israel, oil analysis must take this into account.

	Gold Boiling in Oil 3
		Oil is not in a bull market today simply because a bunch of bored Jihadists are enjoying messing with Washington, but because of a long-term fundamental supply and demand shift.
		Assuming that oil is due for a healthy correction back to its long-term support in its secular bull, 100 barrels of crude oil could cost $3200 again before oil marches higher.
		Since oil demand from the industrialized West and the industrializing East is not likely to abate, and gold tends to move strategically with oil throughout history, the gold price needs to move much higher in the years ahead to keep pace with oil.

		It was attacked but whilst defending no boiling oil was dropped onto the enemy as they attempted to come into the city through the opened gate.
		Boiling oil is used as soon as an enemy approaches the gates.
		To put it plain and simple boiling oil isn't controlled by you or the soldiers in the top defending you just need a dumb AI or human player to approach the gates and try to break them.

	Gold Still Boiling in Oil
		With oil and gold prices rising and tensions in the Middle East threatening to explode yet again, we thought it was a good week to take a look at the gold and oil relationship.
		In my earlier essay, titled “Gold Boiling in Oil”, we took a look at gold and oil in their historical price context and examined their very strong relationship over time.
		Just as in June 2000 when I penned my original “Gold Boiling in Oil” essay, I still believe that investors have a far higher probability of success in the coming years in betting for higher gold and oil prices rather than betting for lower ones.

	Gold Boiling in Oil
		Cheap crude oil has fueled some of the most astonishing advances of the 1900s, including a vastly increased scale of global trade, the birth of heavy industry, rapid and (relatively) painless global transport of people, and that consummate icon of Americana, the automobile.
		The 55 year equilibrium cost of oil in terms of gold can not sustain such high oil valuations, and gold catapulted northward each time these high relative oil costs were seen in order to bring the gold cost of oil back in line with historical levels.
		Oil is already exhibiting this characteristic, and is having a technically significant breakout.

		The overall impact of the high oil prices on the Indian economy in the current scenario, however, is restrained by factors like a comfortable balance of payment position, the large foreign exchange reserves and the access to international capital.
		The Ficci estimate of the impact of high oil prices is based on a reworking of the oil intensity levels in India and other major economies.
		Earlier studies have shown that oil intensity — the ratio of oil consumed per unit of GDP — in India was almost three times higher than that of the OECD countries, in China it was a little higher than twice the oil intensity of OECD countries.

	"Boiling oil" -- or not? - NetSword Discussion Forums
		If you were to use boiling water, you would want to make sure that it was well used first.
		Oil from cattle and pigs can be used as a coarse lubricant for axles and other moving parts.
		After you dump hot fat, pitch, or oil onto the enemy, you can always dump a few torches onto the mess and have screaming men on fire running around, generally adding to the confusion, and setting more things on fire.

	Boiling Oil & Water (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The boiling point estimates that I've found are pretty sketchy, but a fair estimate for soybean oil (most cheap cooking oil is soybean oil) is about 300 C (or 572 F).
		The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature where the liquid will change into a gas.
		So when I say that oil has a higher boiling point than water, what I am actually saying is that the chemical bonds that hold oil together are stronger than the ones holding water together - it takes more heat to break them apart.

	Boiling Oil- Global Policy Forum - UN Security Council
		With the country expected to earn $14 billion from oil this year, the government asked Nigeria’s Supreme Court this week to rule on how the money should be allocated.
		The case, which has been adjourned until May 21st, raises the stakes in the four-cornered battle for oil revenue between the central government, the 36 state governments, the six oil-producing states, and the people who live in those six states.
		People in the oil area are unlikely to be satisfied whatever happens: earlier regimes bypassed state governments by channelling the money through local authorities, but again most of it ended up in somebody’s pocket.

		As far as the macro impact of high oil prices of $50 per barrel goes, it will pull back the GDP growth by 0.4% and push up inflation rates by 1.5%, the survey said.
		If oil prices go up to an average price of $80 per barrel for a year, it will pull down the GDP by 4.9% and raise the wholesale prices index by 7.9% over the current levels, the study revealed.
		Earlier studies have shown that oil intensity - the ratio of oil consumed per unit of GDP - in India was almost three times higher than that of the OECD countries, in China it was a little higher than twice the oil intensity of OECD countries.

	NASIOC - Front Diff Boiling Oil out Dipstick
		The dipstick itself is very loose, but the diff had built up enough pressure to pop it out (I guess)and it leaked on the exhaust and smelled bad and that's how we discovered it.
		We put more gear oil in it today and it took almost 1 quart to fill it, so I guess it lost about all of it because the front diff only hold 1.3 quarts anyway.
		They had to remove the cover on the back and clean out the overflow resovior because someone had overfilled it and it kept boiling gear oil out of the pressure relief hole so this is why I am assuming the front diff also has one.

		Blackey has attempted to lessen it, by using two receivers; in the first was oil, and into this only the steam was admitted; this oil passed to and fro between the two receivers, and never touched the water except on a small surface, but this hardly produced a sensible diminution of the waste.
		This experiment was tried repeatedly with little variation; so that the elasticity of steam, at the temperature of boiling oil, may be depended on, as being ascertained with a considerable degree of accuracy.
		By experiments which have lately been made by myself, the elasticity of steam at the temperature of boiling oil, which has been estimated at 600 degrees was found equal to upwards of 40 times the pressure of the atmosphere.
