Elemental Colors
This is two shots combined into one video. the clear bulbs are filled with methanol and metal salts. The first is copper chloride for a green flame and the second is calcium chloride for a red flame. The aluminum dishes have a dollop of gelled alcohol to light the methanol mist created by the impact of the steel bearing.
In case anyone wonders, I am about ten feet away, full face mask with a fire extinguisher right next to me. I'm wearing cotton clothing because it doesn't melt into sticky hot crap as it burns.
The hose is also pressured up and ready to go. I've not had any alarming accidents but I want to be ready if something goes bad.
Cheers.
