[pacmancheese31]

[takemondu]

ISN''T THAT FUN?

[HotBokTV]

i can lipsync the "isnt that fun" :3

[datkilab6969]

where can i buy this lycopodium i am from the Philippines, is there any store here where i can buy the chemicals?

[tayfuryildiz]

@datkilab6969 Non-dairy creamer works almost as good.

[Tonyp97]

I want to meet him :)

[TheOverkill13]

FINNALY!!! A safe compact FLAMETHROWER!!!

[MrReverseProject]

360p then 720p hahahaha

[sega7]

So If I had a bag of flour, a straw and a lighter I could make a flour powered flamethrower? :D

[Aviatorsmith]

@sega7 Yes. It has to be very fine flour though.

[BraBaBe]

oeh, its nice and warm

[thekingsora]

do more experiments with the lady plz

[kodakTVTheatre]

This reminds me of Mr Wizard..... Exactly

[gosenskat]

YES this is my chemistry summative haha

[OnFireSTEIN]

it gives you a nice little "kashooba"!!

[Shikaradin66]

Non Dairy Coffee creamer works great as well. Better than fine flour

[rheographics]

the girl was really not expecting that lol

[iamrandom837]

you can also do this with really fine flour. The flame is not made by the Lycopodium powder, but the fineness of the powder.

[Chesneywormbot]

i need this for work

[ps3Gamer23100]

you can do that with non dairy come creamer

[Casper3417]

that looks fun, I need to get me some of that :)

[makunyuni]

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tonkaplasto]

you can do it with Coffee Mate

[Clanki]

Hi sadly i can't buy Lycopodium Powder in my country but luckely thanks to another video i saw a guy in norway shows me the plant you can get it from and the method of making it ^^

So i am going to be making it and try do this for all kinds of cool photography and videos.

[shrimpythesleeeze]

hey i was wonderin can u do that with corn startch

[jeremywrb]

@Cheejyg it doesn't burn on the table because it has a low surface area, when it it in the air all side of each seperate prticle are exposed to the flame. the powder itself is't really flammable just when it's in the air. Spposedly you can do this same thing with flour, but mine didn't work.

[Cheejyg]

why didn't it burn when you placed it on the table??

[BvOBart]

"It gives you a nice little kasshoieove"

Lolz.

[swhitney186]

if you pour the powder over water, it creates a barier between the water and any object you put in the water, thus making the object temporarily water proof.

[engelteir]

you can do it with flour.

[CAIDMASTEROFPYRO]

i saw this on ellen

[GreatCommunistEmpire]

you can also sugar might want to grind the sugar a bit make it smaller

[thekingsora]

dude that chick is hot

[64CSAR]

where can you get that stuff?

[PS3Bloodykittens]

This was pretty much on mythbusters but with non dairy Creamer

[mhuttley]

@versusterminus19, He doesn't flinch because unless you were to cover yourself in the lycopodium powder, it's not dangerous. I took a handful of the stuff and sprinkled it on a candle, the fire runs up the trail and burns the powder on your hand, but it doesn't burn your hand.

[ag007700]

that lady is absolutely ADORABLE. who is she?!

[AHW214]

This also works with non dairy coffee creamer.

[graceoverall]

That's cool!!

[elephamoose]

Basically any fine powder will work with this. This can include sugar, corn starch, flour, or even saw dust!

[pipkin503]

my science teacher did this in my class but he didnt tell us what it was. i finally found it

[dukilaki]

@pipkin503 its cornstarch

[BPTemmel316]

@pipkin503 Same, I don't think they're allowed to. Unfortunately for him, the bottle was labeled (;

[Tjita1]

@pipkin503 Any dust from a combustible material could do this, for example saw dust or flour. It used to be common for old wind mills to catch fire for this very reason.

[googolyeyedbuddies]

did this in school. fire drill happened 2 seconds after.

[versusterminus19]

He doesn't even flinch... Balls of steel.

[ilovesuperpie]

@versusterminus19 LoL Duke Nukem reference!

[991705991705]
