COLD FIRE
I know there is a topic on that in the BACKYARD BALLISTICS already but I was wondering if any of u good chemists would know about a substance that would create "flames" but would not burn, ir be too hot. You would also be able to roll it into a ball

Re: COLD FIRE
im ont sure its possible coz if u oxidise something (burn it) huge amounts of energy are released. If it had much less energy so therefore wasnt as hot it wouldnt burn as well/at all.

Re: COLD FIRE
Sure you can make "cold" fire. It will be relativly cold, cold when compared to normal fire, but it will still be hot.

Re: COLD FIRE
Fire is plasma. A plasma is formed when gasses are heated to the point where the electrons are stripped from it. That's hot.
There are about a half dozen types of plasmas that due to a unique nature can not transfer energy to certian elements found in organic matter. Flourine plasma set to a certian energy level will not harm a human, or other living things, but can vaporize paint.
