Fire tests using Magnesium

[@beautifulsmall]

BNFL fireworks displays in the 1980's had dustbins filled with magnesium swarf from the lathes that made the fuel rods. The crowd was siloetted against a row of houses , 100m away, brighter than daylight.

During the use of inertia gasses in the fire extinguisher. I think it might work better if you had sealed the fire exinguisher. Since the inertia gasses are just escaping the container.

Very true, but Magnesium will continue to burn as it produces sufficient Oxygen to sustain combustion which makes it almost impossible to extinguish

True to your name, thanks for your video, it was interesting

We will basically suggest special purpose DCP extinguishers, they will help cool the metal, and smothering the source.
