What kind of fire is invisible?

Ethanol fires are nearly invisible and burn incredibly hot. The fire “flashed” almost immediately filling the nearly 1,500 sq. ft. room with invisible flames and creating intensely high heats.

Are invisible fire real?

A cool flame or invisible flame is a flame having a maximal temperature below about 400 °C (752 °F). It is usually produced in a chemical reaction of a certain fuel-air mixture. In contrast to an ordinary flame, the reaction is not vigorous and releases little heat, light, or carbon dioxide.

What is plasma fire?

Fire is a plasma, not a gas or a solid. It's a kind of transient state between being composed of the elements prior to ignition and the spent fumes (Smoke - solid particles and Gasses = Gas molecules.)

What is an optical fire?

An optical smoke alarm (also called photo-electric smoke alarm) works using the light scatter principle. The alarm contains a pulsed infrared LED which pulses a beam of light into the sensor chamber every 10 seconds to check for smoke particles.

Does cold fire exist?

It's uncommon on Earth, but it does happen. The differences between "hot" and "cold" varieties are fairly plain: When a cold flame ignites, it might only kick out heat hotter than its surroundings by a few tens of degrees Celsius, while a hot flame spikes the temperature by thousands.

What is the hottest fire?

Acetylene and pure oxygen burns blue, at over 3,400ºC – the hottest temperature readily achievable with fuel and flame. That's hot enough to melt tungsten, which has the highest melting point of any element.

Is smokeless fire possible?

Yes there are flames that don't produce smoke, but the reasons are complicated and depend on the conditions of the flame as well as the key fuel creating the flame. The obvious example of a smokeless flame is hydrogen.

Is there a fire that burns forever?

Natural eternal flames can be caused by static electrical discharge or accidental human activity, but the longest burning fires in the world are typically a result of lightning strikes. And the oldest known natural eternal flame is at Mount Wingen, Australia – otherwise known as the Burning Mountain.

Is black fire real?

This is black fire. When you mix a sodium street light or low-pressure sodium lamp with a flame, you'll see a dark flame thanks to the sodium and some excited electrons. “It's strange to think of a flame as dark because as we know flames give out light, but the sodium is absorbing the light from the lamp.

Does fire have atoms?

Fire is the result of applying enough heat to a fuel source, when you've got a whole lot of oxygen around. As the atoms in the fuel heat up, they begin to vibrate until they break free of the bonds holding them together and are released as volatile gases.

Is the sun a plasma or fire?

The sun is made up of a blazing combination of gases. These gases are actually in the form of plasma. Plasma is a state of matter similar to gas, but with most of the particles ionized. This means the particles have an increased or reduced number of electrons.

Is plasma hotter than the sun?

In the latest experiment, superheated plasma reached 126 million degrees Fahrenheit—that's roughly five times hotter than the sun, which radiates a scorching 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface and about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit at its core.

How hot is black fire?

Not hot at all. According to the University of Illinois Department of Physics the term fire is used to describe something that's burning and giving off light therefore there can't be black fire since "black" means that no visible light is coming from it and thus no heat.

What is the coldest color of fire?

The colder part of a diffusion (incomplete combustion) flame will be red, transitioning to orange, yellow, and white as the temperature increases as evidenced by changes in the black-body radiation spectrum. For a given flame's region, the closer to white on this scale, the hotter that section of the flame is.

What is a stealth fire?

A Dakota Fire Hole is an underground fire that is ideal for heat, stealth camping, and high winds. Because the fire is underground, the flame doesn't have contact with the cold air so the ground acts as insulation for the fire making it hotter than a normal one.
