Vortex Ignition

This video is pretty cool.

 

I had an idea a few days back to shoot a vortex ring into a candle flame. then I got the better idea of shooting a vortex ring of alcohol vapor into a candle flame and hope that it caught fire. I built up a simple plastic container into a ring launcher and poured in a little isopropyl alcohol. I aimed them into a propane torch and got little rings of flame.

 

So I set up a candle in from of my mirror and this was the result. First try looked really cool.

 

I'd like to see if I can get little more light into the set-up so that the noise level is lower. But this is a good first effort.

 

Cheers.
