I like how tv tropes told me hollywood was unrealistic about space explosions, but this looks pretty much like a typical Gundam explosion. Good job Tomino :)
Ok for people calling each other idiots. This video wasn't a fake and it most definitely wasn't done in space. A combustion experiments on a space station is definitely a no no. This was done at he micro gravity drop facility in Nasa(Glenn) and this is display of a flame's combustion on a 145m drop from a tower. And it is obviously done at super slow speed. Cheers!
@C18Gold that hurts so bad you pointed out a spelling mistake boy is my face red! oh hang somebody phone the care police i need to care about this! troll lol
yeh im probably gunna sound like an idiot...but what the hell was that?? what material were they lighting?? how did they light it?? how big was it?? ive gathered it was in slow motion but what happened next?
sumbody tell me coz that should have been cool, but was a bit pointless as only 5 seconds of unexplained footage
they should do this on the ISS or something and put that flying piece of metal to good use doing a useful experiment =\. sounds like they would be able to sustain it longer too
this reitterate something important about fire, fire is the chemical reaction, the flame is nothing, its just a wave of energy moving through matter as a medium. Just like a bomb, energy just flows outward and if its not spontaneous enough, convection takes over.
no, atoms dont emit light, electrons do as they move from higher energy orbits to lower energy orbits. in the case of an exothermic chemical reaction, such as fire, the flame can be just as hot as the consumed gas that is directly above which produces no visable light. the flame is only where the reaction is happening, not simply where matter is hot. therefore, the electrons in this case arent emitting light either, electrostatic energy lost due to covalent bonding as radiation is the flame.
the atom gets energy and therefore jumps to an exited state. the details of it releasing the energy to get back to ground state i will not go into. what i understand from you is that the fire is only the light and heat being emitted, yes? but what about atoms being released and floating up into the air. this video shows that in 0G the flame is spherical, but energy is not affected that much by gravity (as weak as the earths anyway). could the fire be classified as the exited released atoms?
no no. what we see as the result of fire is the flame. light and heat being emitted is the FLAME. the flame is what we are observing. like how in a storm the reaction is ionization of air due to an electric current, the observed phenomena are the lightning and thunder. the flame is to the lightning and thunder, as fire is to the actual electricity ionizing the air it travels through. and the release of excited atoms is really any exothermic reaction, fire is synonymous with combustion.
my main point was that where combustion, fire, the actual chemical reaction, is taking place is marked clearly by the volumetric boundries of the flame. the resulting gas above the flame is ideally composed of only products of the reaction, no longer reacting reagents.
electrons get excited from heat, they react upon one another, form new substances, release light and infrared radiation (heat) and do stuff and have fun and yeah

does that mean an explosion would also look like that you know all spherical and stuff

Oxygen, which produced the combustion(the flame) has it's own gravitation pull.

No, a flame is a collection of atoms that are so hot that they emit light.
