What Exactly Is Fire?

[@irun_mon]

everything changed when the fire nation attacked

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

+Irun Mon that was my show

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

u know u spelled iron wrong right?

[@the-dashing-d6046]

+Motive ofc he does ...😪

[@jeffersondelacerna4321]

Ok 😂😂

[@leelanp]

yup last airbender

[@dragonaik333]

Looking forward to this series, I'm a Firefighter and I'm really exited to see what will you bring up. Just one thing on this video, the CO2 extinguisher does not break the redox, but replaces de oxygen, there is an extinguisher that breaks the chain reaction, but instead of CO2, it has a chemichal powder that does break the redox.

[@Climacticc_Chaos]

CO2's are BC, an ABC is powdered that is anti chemical. had he just said extinguisher he would have been right! lol

[@allenbercero3661]

I lost it when you went from a fire triangle to a tetrahedron 🤣 as if this shit wasnt complicated enough already 😂

[@ShawnRavenfire]

"You can't start a fire without a spark." ~ Bruce Springsteen

[@daniel117100]

You can tho

[@hanshotfirst9543]

+Shawn Ravenfire This guns for hire, even if we're just dancing in the dark!

[@narlydude73]

4:51 Just one very important point; water doesn't cool a fire, it smothers it (removes access to oxygen). What is really neat to watch are items that create oxygen when they burn, like magnesium. Once it starts burning, it will continue to burn under water, which is why for some fires (depending on the fuel) one needs to use a different class/type of extinguisher.

[@oristhisjustfantasea]

+Chancelor Grey YEAAA!!

[@Maxtez]

Feel the Bern! 90% taxes! Even more crippling debt!

[@chancelorgrey2702]

MaXteZ yeah dumbass this less than 100 people having more wealth than the vast majority of the country is soooooo much better. You are either a paid troll or a complete idiot.

[@Maxtez]

Chancelor Grey​ Oh yes I'm a complete idiot because I believe people should be able to own their own fucking income. Self-ownership is essential to a free society.

[@chancelorgrey2702]

***** not new to anything but nice try. Also, if you didn't think politics mattered or that the country was so corrupt it was beyond saving you wouldn't even bother to answer me. You wouldn't even bother to follow politics at all. Your discouragement is showing. However, if it had turned to true pessimism you would have tuned out completely.

[@cleonware7513]

[@justinoldham8723]

is shit

[@Mr.Chris.P.Bacon1]

is ass, because your Parents named you "CLEON".

[@cleonware7513]

***** Thanks! Ur a fine ass bitty won't u back dat ass up

[@cleonware7513]

Go buy ur mama a house

[@benhoyle8276]

+Cleon Ware I appreciate You

[@AlltimeConspiracies]

This was en'light'ening! Get it. Terrible pun aside, this was pretty sweet. Great job dudes!

[@tylerjordan4092]

You guys are here too cool I love ur vids too :D

[@xXMegaUltraNinjaXx]

+Alltime Conspiracies You should go Bern the Trump.

[@GuyLogen]

Alltime Conspiracies would have been better for a 'what is lightning?' video

[@JerehmiaBoaz]

CO2 extinguishers do not work by breaking the redox reaction but by replacing the oxygen by CO2.

[@seraphina985]

Indeed only Halon extinguishers actually worked that way and those are banned for almost all terrestrial use now because they are as good at degrading ozone as they are at degrading the intermediate oxygen radicals that propagate combustion reactions.

[@chlagvuk6951]

Matches (mostly) don't light up thanks to friction they light up thanks to a chemical reaction between the powder on the stick and the powder on the match box. Matches that can light up without the match box simply contain both chemicals on the stick.

[@will3346]

The chemicals are part of it but the friction contains the initial heat to get the reaction going. If friction was not part of it the matches that have both chemicals on it would spontaneously combust

[@flaviusclaudius7510]

+Chlagvuk You can test this idea really easily! Gently touch the match head against the side of the box, and see if it ignites; if the friction is unimportant, you should end up with a flame.

[@nuke314159]

Good stuff. The only thing is CO2 will only remove is the oxygen therefore suffocating the fire removing part of the fire triangle. The chemical reaction can be disrupted by using a fire extinguisher called HALON 1211 or HALON 1301 HALON for example, however is highly dangerous to the Ozone depletion so it is an absolute last resort. But great stuff. I like how you brought the history along with scientific relevance to explain the substance of fire.

[@fredrikbackstrom8478]

Hi test tube plus ➕ would you like to use pictures when you explaining something advanced as chemical reactions to make it understandable for uneducated person.

[@martinas1705]

Guess you just gonna get educated then...😂

[@fredrikbackstrom8478]

+Martin Dang it is a suggestion. I'm not telling you I'm educated or not. It will facilitate the understanding of chemical explanation with pictures. ;) trust me, this is how I work when it comes to chemistry.

[@rawstarmusic]

+Fredrik Bäckström The blogg idea on youtube is no good, it's a graphic media.

[@fredrikbackstrom8478]

***** I do agree about his erroneous attitude, that turns into personal attack against me. I don't know why he has to harass me anyway.

[@hanshotfirst9543]

Dropping my mixtape. In all honesty fire has always amazed me. If you spill water it spreads out and stops eventually, but fire just keeps getting bigger and bigger, it's really kind of neat.

[@maxine2240]

Is it possible to harness the electrons released from the wood?

[@chrisa7409]

you should do a episode about heat and tempature, like what it is and why some air is hot while other is cold and how it effects the world around it

[@jamiegodman715]

And our best mastery of fire is our rockets. Gotta love the fact we can control fire in such a way that were able to leave the confines of our planet. Great topic Trace. I look forward to watching the rest of the series.

[@jphysco]

a halon fire extinguisher interrupts the reaction a co2 one displaces the oxygen.

[@jrizzo0425]

GIVE ME FUEL GIVE ME FIYAH GIVE ME THAT WHICH I DESIYAH

[@jarrettwattenburger1272]

UH!

[@kit_the_inevitable]

I was watching a 'glowing hot knife vs' video while listening to this it lined up quite nicely

[@iuniao.5350]

Your shirt brings meaning to my life

[@xenos_n.]

This is definitely one of my favorite channels.

[@fossforever512]

I'd like to know why some things seem to burn different colors, like apparently magnesium and potassium both burn with something other then orange flames

[@Natu776]

This is due to different dimensional realities being temporarily created and you are viewing it through a portal into that dimension. Matter obeys different physical laws in different universes. To find out more jump into the flame where the portal is created, and hopefully there will be a being to explain it to you. Most of these portals lead to some dimension named "Death", and apparently its nice.

[@TechnologyGeek862]

You guys should try filmin in higher resolution or framerate and before you upload it to KZbin you shoud downscale the video to make the video more higher quality videos. By the way awesome video. :)

[@mtnmotoadv]

I don't know why it's so hard to find a good video that explains what fire is.. like.. why is it giving off light? What exactly is happening at the edge of the flame? What happens to oxygen when it gains extra electrons?

[@Kancerru]

The only time I've ever had anyone say 'fire' this many times in one video is an episode of The Nom Within.

[@hweeholim7743]

i love learning

[@fire-me3013]

great explanation

[@edzain6088]

Such a hot topic

[@edzain6088]

+Eddy McHoltz somebody laugh at this please

[@ultraali453]

Probably the best video I've seen so far on Fire. Excited for the podcast as well. Thank You for uploading!

[@network_king]

Some things like server data centers suppress fire by getting rid of the oxygen. Some use halon, I think there are co2 and some other options too.

[@jessielet6149]

I am honestly in love with your shirt!!!!

[@oristhisjustfantasea]

Dope tee, Trace.

[@gramps2matt]

Trace I think you missed a great opportunity to illustrate how a non fiction generated heat can produce fire. Many brush and forest fires start because sunlight being reflected through an item of glass heat a small portion of arid dry grass or timber thus creating heat strong enough to start a smolder that builds to a greater flame.

[@NehalDeshpande]

amazing topic ! amazing explanation ! but I have one question , why does the flame of a candle has its shape that way ? and why is it always pointing up wards?

[@dricedt]

watching this as I sit by a campfire. Love it

[@imme9927]

Very good speaker

[@icarusmctavinn5490]

Tomorrow can't come fast enough! I'm so excited! :D

[@aaronpeople101]

I really like watching the videos on this channel. Learning is a great thing.

[@mehdirh2278]

Great video . i've always had that question in mind , but how does fire produce light tho ?

[@flaviusclaudius7510]

+Mehdi RH The blue stuff at the bottom of the flame is light emitted directly from the formation of new bonds (the energy is released in part as photons). The orange bit is stuff in the air (e.g. particles of soot) that is heated to the point where it radiates away heat into the visible light, in much the same way a piece of hot metal glows red.

[@boris_YouTube]

cuando yo trabaje en la metalurgica. tenia las manos con grasa. fui a abrir un tubo de oxigeno y me dijeron que si lo abria con las manos engrasadas iba a explotar todo. porque sucede eso?

[@4-CQL]

question: how does water extinguish fire? why doesn't the fire use the oxygen in the water as fuel to burn?

[@will3346]

First water cools down the fire and also smothers it. Second the reason why it doesn't pull the oxygen out is because the hydrogen and oxygen bond is extremely strong

[@4-CQL]

+Will Leonard Thanks. That answers my question pretty well.

[@napamodesto8001]

Is it accurate to describe fire as a slow and steady explosion or no?

[@danielbeaman6260]

Hurr my mixtape I haven't seen any of these yet hurr

[@cyancoyote7366]

What is fire, baby don't burn me, don't burn me, no more.

[@KidEatingClown]

Not really excited about this week's series. I wanted one on the future.

[@icarusmctavinn5490]

+KidEatingClown MAybe you'll have one in the future. :)

[@ville307]

So the flame is extremely hot gas? You could have put more emphasis on what it the flame made of.

[@TylerAult]

Man, no visuals? There are a bazillion free fire videos out there.

[@kevinjohnston4606]

I don't see the podcast on the Podcast App

[@Karimdog890]

I have your answer to the title.....the answer is my mix tape.

[@frederikjuhlandreasen9477]

Well Hou say you cool the fire by putting watter over it what if you use hot watter? I have been thinking alot about this and i think youre realy removing the full from the Trianglen becouse you can also use spread out watter to put a fire out. But yeah maybe normal you would Remove the heat if you use cold watter but keep in mind it works with hot watter to

[@gramps2matt]

+Frederik Juhl Andreasen So long as the water temperature is less than the fire temperature it is still a coolant and removing the heat needed to keep the fire going.

[@frederikjuhlandreasen9477]

+gramps2matt og yeah i forgot about that but you still make the Wood invalid to børn as you cant burn wet Wood you need to dyr it first

[@Latrocinium086]

Striking a match is actually a chemical reaction, rubbing 2 sticks together is friction heat.

[@will3346]

Friction is needed to facilitate the reaction

[@terrencepayne1939]

that shirt is amazing

[@tramsgar]

Fire! FIRE!!

[@bl4ckkn1g8t5]

Shere Khan needs to see this.

[@ToshisanMotonaka]

6 people who disliked the video have never created fire like Tom Hanks

[@Felhek]

How fire starts at quantum level?

[@dricedt]

LEO the lion goes GER. loss of electron oxidation, gain of electronic reduction

[@daniel117100]

Cringe

[@RarelyReplies]

Damn. I was typing fire tetrahedron when you mentioned it.

[@YathishShamaraj]

3:50 take more oxygen out if the wood? I thought it take oxygen from the air around it.

[@cs2d20]

glad to see them talking my mix tape

[@PedroNoCap]

This dude is in every science channel, I'm starting to think he is actually smart and not reading of a screen.

[@DJosiahHicks]

that tshirt is adorable :)

[@nourismith677]

Good to know

[@vvictortorress]

what would be the physical state of fire?

[@fernandoblanc]

what is the molecular structure of fire ?

[@4-CQL]

Thumbnail should've been a record wth a sticker saying "My Mixtape"

[@joshuahall7677]

I thought that CO2 starved a fire of oxygen by creating a canopy of CO2 around it (as CO2 is heavier than air)

[@will3346]

It does he was thinking of a different type of fire extinguisher

[@alik2003]

How powerful is Kazakhstan?

[@DegenCT2]

I've always thought of fire as some form of plasma.

[@ironarmy7903]

thanks

[@SlippyLegJones]

His mixtape

[@madface2168]

Doesn't gravity pull the cool then the heat lifts it?

[@thebatmanover9000]

Fire good!

[@Skankhunt-vy7iy]

This video is lit

[@bland9876]

We didn't start the fire it was always burning since the world's been turning

[@subratprajapati1]

Defination of FIRE should be universal, all good but not applicable for star..why,

[@jedrzejku]

no pictures?

[@kevincampbell1208]

fire!!! fire!!! fire!!! fire!!! rock!!! rock!!! rock!!! rock!!!

[@pavan7671]

'It's okay to be smart' has explained fire better 👍

[@katyrebel18]

I'm in forensic science I already know this.

[@rich22221]

Why haven't nobody looked at red hot coal (fire in a sense) under microscope?

[@nagromtw5673]

You could be a really good teacher....

[@scoutsaresilentdeath8775]

I can't believe that no one has said the obvious comment about this...........Grrrrrrrrrr Fire Bad

[@abrahamcorona420]

Is fire 🔥 energy or matter?

[@JordanHeitman]

Talk about methane clathrates!

[@JordanHeitman]

next step in non-renewables. Releasing methane into the atmosphere? Doesn't sound good!!

[@kenantahir]

BTW i came to see over here what he could explain what is fire REALLY IS ... the 3 different collours of a flame and why its temperatures vary Butt if ur gonna take me for a jackass and read what written on wikipedia i could have done that on my own!!

[@talideon]

And then there's aluminium filings.

[@scrubby2]

this reminds me that i havent seen a match for so many years.....

[@colbyadkins]

I want that shirt, it's amazing

[@AsratMengesha]

What is fire made of?? Oxygen, fuel, heat?? Oxygen does not exist, therefore, we don't know what fire is for real. right?thanks.

[@AsratMengesha]

"If oxygen doesn't exist, people cant breath." what exactly do you mean by that? just because you breathe air do you have to name it as oxygen and call it made of an oxygen atom? Things are not made of atoms. But, It is easy to achieve people by writing fictions as atoms and atomic structures. Okay: let me ask you a question, how does oxygen itself burn? by another oxygen? what is fire exactly, in terms of atoms? - don't tell me about the meaningless word chemical reaction. I want you to tell me in terms of atoms and their components If you know exactly what fire is and atoms are real. Thanks..

[@mexell]

Did I just watch this guy read the Wikipedia page on fire?

[@shadowmoses17]

That shirt is fucking adorable!

[@AnEpicNguyen]

The guest speaker better be Brian Brushwood 😡

[@kingrj4452]

This is the seeker guy surely.😛

[@MoFiTheMagnificent]

Off to a bad start for me but Ill stay cause I like fire

[@rawstarmusic]

You have an Apple computer, APPLE from APPLE Inc in your public video. You hide it but it is APPLE. We know there is an Apple logo on it which Apple owns.

[@pradeep517]

just listen to Richard Feynman on fire

[@leishayoung4124]

...as an aside? Man, you look like Mark Ruffalo!
