Dragon's breath (sustained vertical breath without a torch in front of the flame) Fire art is a piece of art that uses active flames as an essential part of the piece. The piece may either use flame effects as part of a sculpture, or be a choreographed performance of fire effects as the piece burns; the latter being almost a type of performance art.
[1] [a] At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced. The flame is the visible portion of the fire. Flames consist primarily of carbon dioxide, water vapor, oxygen and nitrogen. If hot enough, the gases may become ionized to produce plasma. [2]
When artists no longer had to draw recreations of realistic life, they were free to explore different types of drawing and expression. Hess had an intuitive ability to draw and understand the human body but says that he needed instruction and direction: "I intuitively knew how to look and I understood to draw, it came naturally, but that was a ...
Flames of charcoal. A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire. It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma. [vague] [2]
The fire triangle. The fire triangle or combustion triangle is a simple model for understanding the necessary ingredients for most fires. [1]The triangle illustrates the three elements a fire needs to ignite: heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent (usually oxygen). [2]
But whipped by winds that hit 60 mph, the flames rapidly rolled over the mountainside and roared through neighborhoods, growing to more than 20,000 acres and consuming more than 5,000 structures.
Los Angeles is bracing for high winds that could worsen ongoing wildfires. The fires have burned more than 40,500 acres and destroyed 12,300 structures. Authorities reported 24 dead. Evacuation ...
A variety of Bunsen burner flames. Bunsen burners may be adjusted from a highly luminous flame (left) to a hotter 'roaring blue flame' (right) One of the most familiar instances of a luminous flame is produced by a Bunsen burner. This burner has a controllable air supply and a constant gas jet: when the air supply is reduced, a highly luminous ...
