magnesium powder is lit inside a block of solid carbon dioxide, proving you don't need gaseous oxygen in all fires. Taken from Newcastle University's Holmes' lectures 2007

  • 1:17 bless you!

  • It sounds like he's saying "manganese," which is a completely different metal from Magnesium, which is either an alkaline, or alkali earth metal (group 1 or 2), manganese, on the other hand, is one of the several transition metals.

  • There could be oxygen getting in there though...

  • if i was trapped in a dark room and i need a lift or i would die for whatever reasons and i could pick 3 items......... it would be magnesium dry ice and a blow torch. that'd be the best flash light EVER

  • @Zeldagigafan90210 HA thats just what I thought

  • dude he said Manganese like 4 times not magnesium

  • @nateDawg12346 Blessing someone because of a sneeze.. i never got this.. wtf..

  • A perfect explanation for why class delta fires are the worst of all.

  • This is not fire because this is not a combustion !

  • @Live4Ringette Ehh only if you didn't cover it up in dry ice... The light distortion would probably weaken the effects so your eyes wouldn't be damaged.

  • @ISkateBackwardsHelp It is too bright to stare at directly if light in a high enough concentration

  • @Zeldagigafan90210 i heard the same, but manganese burns purple, this burned white, making it magnesium. i think he just misspoke.
