Burning Man - The Chemistry of Fire
"I love the smell of propane in the evening, smells like artistry." At the Burning Man's
"Big Burn" in Black Rock City, folks are propane insane! When the art car El Pulpo Meschino blasts propane from its eight mechanical legs and volcanic head burners ejaculate... Yes, it burns 200 gallons of propane every evening, But, the truth it isn't the only fuel burners love to burn. We love propane, wood, white gas, all the substances that produce every burner's favorite chemical reaction, fire. Dr. Nicholas Gross teaches physics at Boston University and I talked to him recently about the chemistry of fire.
