- What I think is cool, is what happens when I burn nitromethane. I get a flame that has almost no color. There's a slight hint of yellow, but besides that it almost looks like it's in black and white. In my opinion it kind of looks fake, and I think this is better than anything with color.

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.
@@THESLlCK No it isn't.
@@THESLlCK what part of my statement did you not read. I quite literally said the word METHANOL or NITROMETH.
Kinda makes that scene where Ricky Bobby is flailing around because he thinks he’s on fire more terrifying and sad.
@@nmcgunagle Yeah that's why that scene was particularly funny to some people more than others. For people familiar with race fuels and the "invisible fire" that scene hit a lil different.
Looks like he deleted his comment. Lmao, shut him right up. Props
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.
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.
Yes, Ricky Bobby was on fire
It's also used in non-electric RC cars because gasoline doesn't scale well for engines that are smaller than your fist.
@@qdaniele97 Interesting as a young fella I used to have a mate who dad had RC aeroplanes and I think they were the same
@@qdaniele97what happens if you try to use gasolone anyway?
Would the engine just blow up?
I worked at a petrochemical company. Every regulations test we took had at least on question asking what methane burns like- colorless, smokeless.
I will remember that forever
Doing flame tests was one of my favourite parts of chem lab. Watching different metals burning with different colours felt like magic.
Lucky you. I only ever get to make purple crystals. It was like the sea salt that is left after the water dries. But it was kind of cool for that color.
Except magnesium. That one is not for watching lol.
@@totetate4803 ya definitely do not look at magnesium while it burns. At least, not without protection, unless you wanna get flashbanged lol
My school did that before until a little fire broke out burning the table
same!! my favorite part was when my teacher put all of the leftovers together and it was like a rainbow of flames
we used salts when doing it btw, he didn't mix liquids together to burn them lol

Back when I did "nitro" RC cars, I sometimes had contaminated fuel and would burn it off and always loved the flame colour. It burnt a little different since about 80% of the fuel was methanol and the rest was nitromethane and oil. But it still looked awesome and almost otherworldly.
I should try this with some fuel I am trying to get rid of
@@BrianSu Works better to kill weeds.
same- i used to light small puddles of traxxas top fuel on fire and look at the white flame lol
@@Scyth3934 I bought some 25% fuel and realised it's too high for my engine, might do this to get rid of some lol. Realistically I'll probably still run it in the engine at low loads rather than waste it
I use SideWinder 25% fuel in my t-Maxx. The fuel works well as a fire starter, and it burns with a baby blue/light cyan flame.
If you do sodium in a room lit with sodium light, you get a weird black flame. because everything is either emitting or absorbing at the 589nm D lines.

I used to CRY because I hated physics and chemistry so much in highschool. I felt so anxious anytime I had a physics lesson and I had the worst grades.
Somehow, even for me who hates chemistry, you make it seem interesting and I watch a lot of your content.
Its interesting for most people because in school they teach and explain chemistry. And this is just a demonstration without any theoretical explanation of how it works.
In my graduation exam, i measured some heavy metal solutions in flame-AAS-spectroscopy. It was some lead salt which made a bright white flame. It was like nitromethanol, but brighter and more opaque, almost like a flame of milk.
Sodium absorbs the same frequency of light that it emits, so burn sodium salts under a low-pressure sodium lamp,
and the flames
turn
black

I remember having this experiment way back in my freshman year in college. It's cool to see those green and blue flames upclose
Short, Precise and upto the point 👍🏻
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
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.
Yup! I can't ever hear nitro mentioned without thinking of top fuel dragsters/ funny cars.
Watching top fuel racing is like nothing else! It feels like the entire earth shakes when they launch.
A fun fact that's actually fun.
Yep, lower energy density than a lot of fuels, but will run at a hella steep mixture, ~ 2:1 by mass.
Yep! I don't know shit about cars but cool fun fact!
We were having a bonfire getting rid of old junk one year, and I threw in some old Christmas wrapping paper -- it was hypnotic how colourful the flames turned out.

My middle school teacher presented this to us and I loved it. She also had a red flame which was from Lithium Chloride or Strontium Chloride.
I had done this experiment on lab when I was in school but procedure was a little bit complex and I couldn't distinguished the color difference because it's was too faint. I wish everyone has a teacher like you who made it very fascinating and easy.
I'm SOOOOOO freaking glad that I had the most awesome chemistry teacher. She made sure to always be friendly and fun in her classes and everybody loves her. I'll never forget the day she burned a bunch of stuff to show the different colors of the flames and about how she used Goku transforming into a super-sayan to explain how light works.

That’s crazy! Those flames look awesome!
About 10 years ago, I bought a set of birthday candles that make flames of various colors. Blue, red, green, white, orange, & a very yellow-yellow, IIRC. They still work as of my birthday last month (I always let them cool completely, then wash & dry the cake-ends carefully before putting them away; we reuse them over the years). My local grocery store randomly had them in a vendor aisle display. Y'all can probably search for some online. They're really cool! 😎
Do the candles not burn down?
@@Draco-oi9bb only if you light them and leave them on the cake for hours you stupid noob haha
@@Draco-oi9bb Eventually.
@@Draco-oi9bb He/She keeps them after they're blown out.
@@Draco-oi9bb We only light them long enough to do the birthday song then blow them out. If you're efficient, they can last a dozen or so uses each. (And we don't light as many years old as we are anymore, we do like 5 or 6, it gets the point across, LOL. So that helps them burn less while the lighting is going on.)
Being an engine nut, I freaking love Nitromethane. It's oxygen carrying properties, it's volitility, and it's beautiful flame.
Favorite part is that it’s soooooo much more compressible than gasoline, but also much weaker.
*volatility
Who needs pressurized atmospheric oxygen when you can just pump in a fuel that is its own oxidizer hehehe
Fucking its* not it is.
The only reason I don't like nitrometh is coz when you fill up the tank on the drag strip, it literally burns your eyeballs😂

@@RafaelMunizYT 😁
because it is a very energy dense fuel, it is still used on dragster cars for racing, however, since the flame is basically translucent, if a fire breaks out, there is just no way to know that shit’s on fire. methanol fires caused a lot of trouble even in F1 back in the day, I think it got banned tho
There was a truck spill one time with this stuff. In broad daylight the firefighters could only use IR cameras to put the fire out as it was the only way to see it.
The oxy acetylene torch at work burns white when adjusted properly. Always thought it was the coolest looking flame I've seen
When I went camping in middle school, we had a big bonfire in the middle where we just toss anything that should be good for fuel. There was a log which still had its tree sap and the fire that was burning turned apple green.

Those fires are extremely dangerous as you can't actually see the flame itself in normal light. In nascar, years back one of the put crew got lit up by it and nobody knew what was going on

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!
@@dysjectamembra5322 That's what I meant as fire as an "object" that's always a certain way. Mostly it's orange when burning things, the blue is in the context of gas stoves, or blue/white in acetylene torches - but those others aren't like the type of fire that burns more passively the way it does in this.
I've seen plenty of colors of fire before, but it never takes away that sense of it having a strangely ethereal feeling when I see it.

In college we had a lab that taught us how to make flames in ever color of the rainbow. However someone didn't clean the equipment properly and our first experiment resulted in a color changing rainbow flame 😅

Lithium gives off a pretty pink. We had several salts burning in my high school chemistry class once (copper, aluminum, lithium, and a few others) all giving off different colors. My teacher was spraying them with (I believe) Methanol to keep the fire going. The lithium flame was his favorite:
*sprays each salt flame across the bench*
"Not my favorite, not my favorite, not my favorite, FAVORITE!"
*sprays lithium fire a bunch, making a huge tall pink flame*
OH! I didn't realize how much I miss seeing the inside of a chem lab, until seeing that cover pic. I miss that job.
Even crazier thing is that pure methanol burns with (almost) invisible flame. And because it was and still is used as a racing fuel, it would seem that the pit crew are faking the burn but in fact it really has ignited and needs to be neutralized ASAP.

The airflow through the holes of the mesh trash bin rotating made the flame rise up creating a PURPLE TORNADO FLAME EFFECT that looked AMAZING!
