Episode 7 - Flammability Range

[@michaelrjburnside]

Thanks mate for making this video, really well explained an really interesting too, now i can go off and explain to people that as long as hydrogen is stored at 100% its not gonna explode

Dont know if you guys gives a shit but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last couple of weeks =)

[@justusjaziel2340]

@Kyler Jakob yea, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

Nothing other than Perfect!

Thanks for your videos.Helping me to understand all the reactions 👍👌

To take this lesson into some different examples- I would figure that with a propane torch or gas BBQ grill , the burners are designed for that optimal 4% mixture. The perfect blue flame indicates you've reached the optimal flammable point? I've also noticed that concerts with pyrotechnics, they blow a very orange yellow fire ball or column straight up. Would that mean they are somehow creating a very lean 2% mixture? Last question- Which fuel mixtures leaner or richer tend to go bang? and which mixtures produce more of a shock wave? I was learning about house gas explosions- some make a lot of noise, and some blow walls out and knock the house off it's foundation. Thanks Matt!

Usually orange flames mean rich, as it's glowing soot particles.

This is awesome!

[@MattDavis5]

Thanks!

Great video. Certainly helped me understand this better. You have the toaster scene in the first Bourne Identity film. So when the gas reached the toaster the gas to air ratio had to be 5 to 15 per cent to burn/explode

[@MattDavis5]

Thanks! Yep for it to explode it would need to be within the flammability range for what ever substance the gas was. It would also be more of a boom the closer it is to the ideal mixture 💥

[@suhibmurad7688]

great video thank you

[@phizzhead53]

I like that boom box

[@jayanthkumar1984]

It's really cool

[@watchthe1369]

so the combustion ratio is like 4 parts oxygen to 1 part propane in a propane engine?

[@nelsonfowler9690]

Awesome video

[@MattDavis5]

Thanks! Glad you like it 👍

[@sirchiefteves659]

Very informative experiment from you sir. May I request to share and use your video to teach my colleagues in maritime industry.

[@MattDavis5]

Hi there, yep feel free to share it. Glad it's come in handy!

[@PhilipRhoadesP]

Very interesting stuff!

[@TomGlatz]

Very well explained

[@MattDavis5]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@MasterBobert]

It's not a "need to" thing, it's a "want to" thing.

[@MattDavis5]

Haha I had to re-watch to know what you meant.. but yep 😄

[@bigbythebigbadwolf]

How is Flammabilty range calculated like when do you know when you reached the maximum or minimum

[@blacklandscheaterbuster986]

hi im currently using a Fire machine i bought off of ebay wwhere you put a cannister in the center and activate it with a DMX controller, id like to use a less potent fuel so that the fire isnt too high any suggestions?. i mainly want to use it for demonstrations indoor and cant have the flame go to high

[@tarasweeney23]

Could this also be classed as fire gas ignition? Or am I completely wrong here 🙈

[@MattDavis5]

Well I wasn't thinking of it that way when I was making the video. But yes, theres fuel and oxygen within it's flammability range in a room and then an ignition source was added.. Fire gas ignition 🙂🔥👍 (looks like the boom box will make a return when I get around to doing a video on fire gas ignition!) 🙂

[@radwaibrahim9276]

This was really helpful. Thanks alot

[@MattDavis5]

You're welcome! Glad it was useful 👍

[@ben.alldridge]

That optimal mixture blast was tasty. Was that shot with your RX?

[@MattDavis5]

Yep. It's getting a little old and arthritic after many years of abuse, but it still gets the job done 🙂🔥

[@yams6743]

Dud thanks

[@aaidv]

ok
