In order for a flame/fire to exist there needs to be a combustible substance in the presence of oxygen and an ignition source such as a spark or another flame. When one of these three elements are missing then the fire goes out. Some people say the fire goes out when you blow on it or in the presence of wind because the fire is being deprived of oxygen. This makes no sense because your breath and the wind are full of oxygen. In fact, anyone who has some experience working with fires knows that wind and blowing on hot embers will actually cause a fire to erupt, not put it out. It erupts precisely because of an increase of oxygen near the combustible substance in the presence of a hot ember which suffices as the spark needed. When a flame is blown out, either by wind or using your breath, one or more of the three requirements of a flame is being removed. The question IS, which ones? Well we already know it's not oxygen so it must be either the ignition source, or the combustible substance, or both. This is where it gets a little complicated because once the fire is burning the flame is actually sustained by particles, molecules, and atoms that are stripped off the combustible substance by heat and released into the air. This is why the flame is always ABOVE the substance being burned whether it is a candle wick or a campfire. Heat also rises which exaggerates this phenomenon. Therefore the flame you see actually consists of the combustible particles AND the ignition source. When the wind or your breath blows on this mixture of combustible particles and flame, it pushes the mixture away from the stream of fresh particles rising straight up from the original combustible substance thereby starving the flame of combustible particles. The flame will go out in the absence of the combustible particles, one of the three required elements for a flame to exist. This is why a campfire loses its flame as the wood becomes embers; there are no more combustible particles to sustain the flame. For a candle it is mostly the wax vapor particles that sustain the flame. That's why a thin candle burns down quicker than a fat candle even though the wicks may be exactly the same. There's more wax to burn with a fat candle. As a side note, water puts out a fire due to a similar reason as blowing on it but not exactly the same. Water on the combustible fuel source creates a sticky coating that prevents combustible particles from being released into the air where they can burn. Also, temperature has no effect on whether a fire can be created or not. The water content IN and ON the fuel source is the only determining factor. So fires are much more likely during a cold dry winter than for a hot wet summer.
No, salt does not make a fire burn hotter. Salt can actually have the opposite effect as it can help to smother a fire by cutting off the oxygen supply. It is not recommended to use salt to try to increase the intensity of a fire.
Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible. hope it helps
If you mix fire with additional oxygen, it would likely cause the fire to burn more intensely or spread more rapidly due to increased fuel supply. The additional oxygen would support combustion and increase the rate of the chemical reaction, making the fire burn hotter and faster.
No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.
Combustible materials such as paper, wood, or gasoline can be mixed with oxygen to create fire. Mixing oxygen with a combustible material provides the necessary components for a fire to ignite and burn.
They get brighter because fire uses oxygen to burn. Fire needs oxygen heat and fuel. Without any of these you will have no fire. So blowing more oxygen into a fire will make it stronger.
Yes you can! Maple is one of the better fire woods to burn. Just make sure it's dry & not green wood.
they do that if it crashes or doesn't make a proper landing and if it catches fire there is no fuel to burn and there is a lot less chances of it blowing up
It would be far better to compost the leaves than burn them. It makes useful fertilizer rather than a fire hazard. If you must burn, make sure to have a wire mesh on your burn barrel and a water hose nearby. Never leave a fire unattended.
Is there anything can appy to make pine wood burn in the fire place
The three things needed to make a fire burn, what is called the Fire Triangle, are 1] oxygen 2] heat 3] fuel
No, salt does not make a fire burn hotter. Salt can actually have the opposite effect as it can help to smother a fire by cutting off the oxygen supply. It is not recommended to use salt to try to increase the intensity of a fire.
To enhance the intensity of a fire and make it burn hotter, you can increase the supply of oxygen, add more fuel, or use a fire accelerant. These actions can help create a more intense and hotter burning fire.
you make a fire and burn it
well not usually when you keep trying your best to make the flame from glass fire pits burn in colors of the glass
depends what it is but for most things yes
If anything it would make it weaker when igniting, the fire will burn off a portion of the alcohol contained in the liquor.
