Lighting a candle using its own smoke
@gunsnrosesgirl3 People were interested in her more than they were interested in the science behind it.
@gunsnrosesgirl3 I didn’t even know that was possible
@gunsnrosesgirl3 everyone knows about the tiny wax particles, right?
Lighting a candle using its own smoke is a fascinating and seemingly magical process that can be explained by the science of vaporization and combustion. When you blow out a candle, a small amount of wax remains in the air around the wick in the form of vapor. If a flame is introduced to this vaporized wax, it can reignite, creating a trail of fire that travels back to the wick, relighting the candle. This process is not actually lighting the candle with smoke but rather with the vaporized wax. Soot and other debris from the flame are not the elements that reignite the candle.
