This is precisely why race car fires can be so dangerous when the cars are using methanol or nitrometh because the fire is basically invisible (Especially during daylight). This is where you will see those "meme" clips of a race car driver flopping around or rolling around on the ground trying to put out a fire and everyone thinks they look crazy because they don't see any flames - but the driver feels the heat and knows something is wrong.

Also worth mentioning that these flames are nearly invisible in the daylight. Nitromethane is used as race fuel in high horsepower cars like Top Fuel dragsters. There are videos out there of drivers/engineers/pit crew members igniting their clothes and it's almost impossible to tell that they're on fire. Scary stuff.

[@malcolmwhite6588]

Methanol and hydrogen burning are both like that in terms of daylight both of them do have a visible flame. At night. I forget the colour of methanol. I think a deepish blue colour with a yellow tinge hydrogen burns with an almost translucent, bluish light. We had hydrogen fires at the petrochemical plant. I worked it, and you could only see the heat shimmer during the day time.

Fun fact, nitromethane is used in dragsters because it carries its own oxygen which means more of it can be combusted at once. Edit: I feel like I should clarify something. It still needs external air to combust, but at a weight ratio of 1.7:1kg instead of the 20:1kg ratio of air to gasoline used in regular cars

[@SAVikingSA]

This is also why it works better in supercharged engines, because the forced air induction means you can increase the fuel in the combustion chamber even more. Nitro really loves ignition at high pressure levels.

It's so interesting that we're very used to different colors of solids, liquids, gasses, & lights… but making different colored flames still always seems a little bit unreal and strange when you see them. I wonder if it's because we think of "fire" as an object rather than as a state that can be changed, or if it's that the color spectrum of light different flames give off is something that's almost always artificial rather than natural (like how certain LED lights can mess with how real/fake something looks based on how well/poorly it mimics natural light). Cool stuff as always!

[@PierceArner]

@@dysjectamembra5322 That's what I meant as fire as an "object" that's always a certain way.

Extremely dangerous, especially when it was used for racing because you could put the fire out quickly but you don't not know if you were still on fire until it burned you as the flames are pretty much invisible.

Keep on showing different collors of fire dude. My chemistry teacher used to do that a lot, I love it. I remember one that was shining white because it was the "hotter" form of fire.

[@dy7296]

Nitromethane + Methanol mix is famously used for topfuel dragsters as it can burn under very rich mixtures of 1.7:1. This is why the exhaust flames of topfuel dragsters run clear or even invisible.

[@Rhino-hq1tf]

Really interesting story about that copper solution. So I’m my science class our group had to come up with ways to make a heat pack. The one we settled on was the copper aluminum mix. If you didn’t know that mix becomes hot regardless of fire and boils. Now in the hot pack my team realized when our hot pack expanded tremendously that it was going to explode. It exploded. Not in a very violent way but it still made a pop.

[@danielsvoboda6233]

Coming from a chemist, that's some serious hazard there... If your teacher was aware of what you were doing in advance and didn't stop you, the teacher should re-learn some basic safety... I mean this is an exothermic, hydrogen-evolving reaction - that's like asking for trouble if you don't consider the gas evolution... The explosion was nothing but to be expected. You can be glad noone got hurt...

[@Rhino-hq1tf]

@@danielsvoboda6233 Yeah but I think it caught us off guard because our previous experiment worked just fine. the thing that I think caught us off guard was when we realized the surface area matted far more than the volume. Also exploded is the wrong word it kinda just fizzled out since plastic bags don't hold much pressure.

Chemistry is neither burning random chemicals nor learning reactions from a book, you know.

[@herlingaaland]

@@szabolcsmurath then what is

[@szabolcsmurath]

@@herlingaaland Mostly searching and understanding correlations between the behaviour of a system and its composition or structure. Using such systems in their corresponding fields to upgrade a process (e.g. solar cell research, CO2 conversion to useful chemicals, drug reseach, etc.), or using your tools to explain certain phenomena. Many times, these require experiments that are straight up boring (to watch) compared to this flame trick. As a chemist, you basically only do flashy reactions if you are a teacher or perform an exhibition. But it's still a great job.

The scariest fires are methanol at a pitstop cause the flames are pretty much invisible and many people won't be able to tell if someone is on fire until they start to feel the heat. You can see footage of these kinds of fire here on KZbin.

God..I remember this was my first science experiment back in the sixth grade! Everyone was doing some kind fun experiment or doing the same old thing people have been doing for years to play it safe. I could’ve done something simple but I really wanted to do something fun! So I did my research and found the “rainbow fire” experiment. Long story short I won first place out of the whole grade and went to finals and got in the 2nd place group (I don’t remember how the competition worked honestly but I got a ribbon!) I was a bit of a sore loser bc I thought my experiment was different 😭😭 now that I’m older I’m extremely proud of myself. It’s not everyday that I have won something and made it to finals on my own with the help of my mom.

[@siggyincr7447]

I wonder if the yellow part of the Nitromethane flame is from the methanol you added to ignite it. If memory serves, the flame color of burning moonshine is supposed to be pretty much blue if it's pure ethanol, but if it has significant methanol impurities it starts to get yellow in the flame.
