I have a hypothesis as to why the flame is red. On the inside of a balloon there is a fine powder to prevent the balloon from sticking and tearing when inflated so as the balloon pops it would be thrown into the flame and possibly burning tremendously quickly thus causing the red flame.

The best explosion I saw in slow motion, in terms of showing some of the thermodynamics involved in combustion, was captured by Mythbusters in their "Exploding lighter" episode. It shows a delay between the release of the propane and the start of the ignition. The best part was when the initial flame, which was the lighter lit before being struck with a golf club, went out during that period and then the reaction started from roughly the same location the flame was in.

I love this channel. Had I known they were going to do this experiment I would have advised them to use HHO as I have done when using my water splitter. You get a perfect match on the hydroxy combo. The reason the gas ignites before the balloon appears to explode is illusion caused by the fact that in a mini second after ignition. The gas has expanded and is already in the process of collapsing and turning back into water by the time the balloon pops.

@chiralSPO 10 жыл бұрын

I think this source of the colored flame is actually the solid powder lubricant that nearly all balloons are sold with. This is often talc or cornstarch, either of which could color the flame yellowish-orange (talc can have sodium or calcium impurities). It is known that metal salts or boron compounds can be added to balloons to change the color of the explosion as well. Clearly the flame produced by the stoichiometric mixture in a balloon shown here is much brighter than that of a stoichiometric flame in a HHO torch, so it has to be more than just the ratio. I propose washing the balloons very thoroughly with water, and then testing both pure hydrogen and mixed gases with the same high-speed footage.

Ignition of saturated fuel such as a pressured blob of gas is a perfect example of chaotic system and fluid dynamics. It's the sudden directed movement of the gas that's important, not the fact it's glowing or the fact it's hydrogen and oxygen reacting. Blowing into gas causes vortices, pulling a paddle through water causes vortices.

@endimion17 11 жыл бұрын

One more thought. The dust in the balloon is usually cornstarch. When the ballon skin snapps, cornstarch aerosol would be flying everywhere through the hydrogen. Burning cornstarch aerosol has an incadescent carbon phase. If you really want to know what's the source of the color, use a spectrometer. If it gives off full spectrum, it's incadescent carbon. H2, O2 and H2O can not give off this kind of light.

I wonder if the balloon contracts faster than the reactions since it is under such high elastic tension. Perhaps the reaction could tried at different internal pressures to see if the speed varies depending on the potential of the rubber. Aside: I just discovered the periodic videos your team made and I was compelled to seek a slow version of the balloon experiment. I'm delighted that you had the same inclination, and that the Smarter Every Day guys joined in. This is the perfection which the internet achieves from time to time, and I couldn't be more thankful. thanks for the insight,
