Spraying Water Mist on Cigarette Lighter causes Flame to Increase in Size

[L505]

Hi crackpots, the answer is that at the tip and outer edge of the flame there is a high temperature area which is barely visible. When water is sprayed on the flame it cools this high temperature almost invisible purple area, which now makes it more visible as an orange/yellow color.

Nothing spectacular is happening - the flame is simply being cooled.

This is called critical analysis of your own experiment; something all you crackpots and quacks should consider doing instead of coming up with blindfold conspiracies as we see in your replies previous to this one.

I confirmed it is simply cooling the flame by looking more closely at the flame and noting there is a hot area on the outer edge of the flame which I didn't originally account for.

Google up "wood gas".Often a small stream of water shot into the reactor would improve the burning quality of the gas because the heat was hot enough to tear the water apart into H2 and O2.Add this to the CO being formed and you could get more power.I believe a normal lighter does not provide enough heat to tear the water apart.Triffid

Same is: "If you shot water into Carburator.
Also German fighter have done this in WW2.
Saab have done this (as option) over Years ...
(2 liter water added for 500km drive)

NOW. 2009  Water add to Dieses,
will reduce  smoke and other dangeros substance up to 90 %  (ref: Uni Koeln (Cologne) Germany)
