<p>Fire From Below</p><p>A slight change in perspective can do wonders. In this video, the Slow Mo Guys look at a <a href="/tagged/combustion/" rel="nofollow">burning flame</a> from below. They accomplish this by mounting a gas grill upside-down. This small change means that <a href="/tagged/buoyancy/" rel="nofollow">buoyancy</a> can’t simply lift heat and exhaust gases away from the flame source. Instead, the flow pushes out and around the edges of the grill.</p><p>The views are, as always, amazing. The billowing flames are mesmerizing–often closer to laminar than turbulent. And the added spectacle of cinnamon combusting in the later segments really does make for the kind of visuals you’d expect in a sci-fi movie.
