Torch and Candle

Paul suggested that I try a propane torch and a candle.

 

I am assuming that this is because the candle would have a soot filled flame vs the cleaner propane flame.

 

Since carbon black (soot) is so good at emitting IR light (reciprocity baby!) the candle flame should be brighter.

 

I did not see this effect, but the flames looked neat so here goes. No extra points for guessing which one is the torch.

 

I'll keep an eye out for that hydrogen torch Paul :-)

 

Cheers.
