OH POOR ole J/R its not his fault that he likes flames an i loved guyfawks night as im sure most of us on here did so in a way we all as bad as J/R LOL

From a technical point of view there are some serious temperature ranges in play here.The bright orange of most wood flames is due to the presence of sodium, which, when heated, emits light strongly in the orange. The blue in wood flames comes from carbon and hydrogen, which emit in the blue and violet. Copper compounds make green or blue, lithium makes red.
You see there is more to this than meets the eye.:nerd:

AN looking here he's even gone into all the tecknacaliries of what fire consits of so at least he taken an intrest in it which is more than ive ever done so we will keep matron on stand by

You’ll be into the realms of Fraunhofer and Funff next John….

"Diffraction equation is used to model the diffraction of waves when the diffraction pattern is viewed at a long distance from the diffracting object, " now there's a subject for discussion if there ever was. :nerd:

You really shouldn't put temptation like this in front of John. You wouldn't wave a bottle of whisky under the nose of an alcholic now would you? Matron and her staff are doing their best but can do without being undermined by photos like this. John's earlier post show the level of his addiction to all things combustable. If we hear on the news that a large area of Lincolnshire has gone up in flames and John is found dancing around the embers with an empty box of matches in his pocket you'll have only yourselves to blame.

The current medication has been increased Jim, worry not, any way as to the safety of Lincolnshire is wet this morning :crying:

Just had a look at that page Tim, mind boggling science.Things that we "normal " people just take for granted.

I've pm'd you on this.

Dear all

So now I'm back from our holiday I though I'd just say a quick thanks to all the contributors and not least of all Comrade Race for being such a good sport!! I'm just sorry my phone wasn't up to properly capturing the colours. They were much more orange in reality.

In all seriousness though I learnt something new, thanks to John's info on the composition and colour of flames. I know we jest about fire but there is something I find genuinely fascinating about it. I think it's my late grandmother's fault as she kept her coal fire going long after gas became the vogue in the UK and I distinctly recall spending hours watching it as the flames played around in the fire place.

So thanks again all.

Andrew my kindred spirit ! Yes I too had a childhood at times with open fires, perhaps that was the start. Before I retired I had a really large stove in the workshop at least 36inches in the round. One late afternoon we loaded up the burner while we were cleaning up . Upon turning back to it the sides had changed from brown to nearly pink :surprised::surprised::surprised::surprised:! I hate to think what the temperature was. Stil have a wood burner at home, after years of being able to have a open fire if needed.
Really you cant obtain a burnt look to joists or anything lie wood or material ( Tarps ) with out having actually burnt it. :nerd:

Well JR, now that we have been informed about the chemical make up of the flame component of FIRE...........I expect you to keep all this in SCALE while modeling your Pyrotechnic Wonders Sir......or I might need a larger extinguisher! Rick H.
