Lighting my hand on fire.
How does Dr. Dawson light his hand on fire and not get burned? It's not magic—it's the amazing power of science! 🔥✨
𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀: Dr. Dawson holds bubbles filled with methane gas. When these bubbles catch fire, the intense heat instantly creates a thin layer of steam around his hand. This is called the Leidenfrost Effect. The steam layer acts like a shield, protecting his skin from the flames! 🛡️💧
It should go without saying you 𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 light yourself on fire. Leave it to the professionals.
