How to make fire from water drops

Time for the big bang!



So, what we're going to tell - not just entertainment: it can be useful if you happen to accidentally find yourself in the desert. Ingredients for the experiment often come in kits for survival and help people in the desert to build a fire. Actually, this way you can burn the entire desert, despite the fact that there is no vegetation.

All that is required - chemical warmer, a little salt, water and zinc powder. The chemical heating pad should be carefully open. Inside you will find a bag with water and a bag of ammonium nitrate. Take ammonium nitrate - he looks like a little old balls - and grind to a powder. Then add thereto half gram of salt and a few grams of the zinc powder. Mix everything together, just make sure that even a drop of your sweat will not get in the mix. Important: Be very, very careful in any case, do not expose to a mixture of moisture.

Now take your mix to where cause great damage not work - anywhere where there is enough wind and there is nothing to burn. Braid hair, if they are long and wearing glasses. In a handful of powder and make a small hole to drip water. Stress - drip. One drop, no more.

When the water gets to zinc, zinc ionizes. When it ionizes, it emits a lot of heat. Ammonium nitrate - is an oxidant, that is, he fail a lot of oxygen to rapidly heated zinc. If zinc is pressed, nothing happens, but the shallow zinc powder to ignite this enough: will burn for a long time and have fun. In this fire is quite possible to boil a pot of water.
