Red Fire

May 16th, 2008

Ethan managed to turn fire a bright red color using strontium chloride salt dissolved in water. He dispensed the salt with an airbrush nozzle powered by a small air compressor and we tried on several flames including a large propane venturi flamethrower as shown in this video.
