Fire Bubbles

Fire bubbles is a classic school demonstration. However, this is a demonstration that should not be tried at home or a friend’s home.

You use a bubble solution to make bubbles of the flammable gas (butane in this case).

The reason that the person’s hands do not get Burt is because they wet their hands first. The reason this works is, the water takes the heat energy instead of the person’s skin.

This same princaple can be seen in our episode on burning money.

And remember please don’t try this at home or without someone who knows what there doing.
