How does fire start? (AMAZING SLOW MOTION)

Thunderf00t - 2013-03-02

It takes about 300 milliseconds (0.3 seconds) to blink your eye.

Fire can quite happily start in about the same time

I recently found myself in a lab with some ultra high speed cameras (filming alkali metal explosions) and this was one of the few cool things I filmed on the side!

Really clever usage of a Weeping Angel, Thunderf00t.

Piano Man - 2014-10-16

AGH that Weeping Angel made my heart skip a beat! (Well, maybe not literally, but it felt like that.) Anyway, awesome video as always!

0:16 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! You owe me a pair of fine trousers!

OfficiallyNerdyGames - 2016-06-17

You should have been wearing brown trousers, as that is a brown trouser situation.

It's funny how you have SO many Doctor Who references throughout all of your videos. That itself is a reason to subscribe.

EdgarToe Toe - 2014-02-24

0:17 Is that a weeping angel from Dr. Who?

Raymond S. - 2014-04-19

Ooh, watch out for that Weeping Angel there :)

"there was a time science said if we remove our blood, this will cure us from diseases." Medieval doctors =/= scientists.

SavageHoax - 2013-03-02

"I recently found myself in a lab with some ultra high speed cameras " And your first thought was "Hey! I should film myself playing with fire!" ^_^ Truly the mind of a great scientist. I would have just set fire to something. THEN thought about filming it.

rflooker - 2013-03-02

0:17 and yes I was wondering what that was.

hs0003 - 2013-03-02

0:16 DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Bradsonnette - 2013-03-06

0:16 that set an eerie tone for the remainder of the video.

AkiraDaemon - 2013-03-04

celebriocrity - 2013-04-27

I was amazed to see you used my mother in law at 0:17

lostismyconstent - 2013-03-02

cool stuff! I like how there is such a delay in the initial ignition and then it turns into what we think of as a flame. bonus points for the weeping angel!

Michael - 2013-03-02

I LOVE DOCTOR WHO AND WHEEPING ANGEL IS MY FAVOURITE!!

nathler - 2013-03-24

viljamtheninja - 2013-03-05

So many moments of "no... wait... what?" in so few milliseconds. Beautiful, Thunderf00t.

stutzpunkt - 2013-03-02

Ive been a huge fan of this channel for the past 3 years and I really appreciate the new direction. You can only laugh at creationists for so long. Keep up the good work :)
