[quote:Anonymous Coward 53628202:MV8yNDcwNzUxXzQyNTc0MTc1Xzc4RjczNUY3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 12514503:MV8yNDcwNzUxXzQyNTcwODk5XzZGNzFGODhB] Of course if you try to melt a chunk of snow with a lighter with barely enough fuel left in it it won't melt FAST enough in order for it to drip. It will freeze again and get absorbed in the rest of the snow. Of course the ice cube will melt with the same lighter used because there is nothing to absorb the molten water like snow does. You guys surprise me every time i come in here, you need to go to a mental hospital because going to school is too late. [/quote] :clappa::hesright: YAY! Somebody that has actually seen different types of snow before! Seriously, the snow is full of air pockets that can absorb the melted water and the cold temperature of the snow causes it to refreeze. That's one of the reasons you can't eat snow straight for hydration, it is full of more air than water. Also wtf is everybody using a bic lighter for? Much less smothering the flame against the snow and holding it sideways. Try to flick a bic a few millimeters from your hand and see how it ignites, after a few tries right? The lighter fuel can't ignite and hold enough heat if there's no airflow and oxygen to allow it to transition into a gaseous state. The hottest part is right at the tip of the flame when it's held straight up (the bright white-orange). That's where you get the best mix of heat, fuel and oxygen. The other dude uses a blowtorch, but that shit is so hot and high pressure that the jet of heat basically vaporizes the water before it escapes the jet and has time to condensate. You can see it behind the ice cube (which has more water/volume aka density btw)in that dark patch. That dark spot is all the vaporized water being sprayed onto the plate by the pressure of the blowtorch. The ice cubes melt because they're basically solid water on the surface. They're waaaaaay denser than snow so they produce more water in a less amount of time. Trust me on this. I'm studying wildland fire and firefighting right now. We talk all about fuel moisture content, fire behavior, weather and similar shit ALL THE TIME! Get off the damn illuminati/chemtrail/them-against-us train for once and do some observation and experimentation. There is a sheeple group forming as a result of questioning things but getting the wrong answers.:sheep: [/quote]

If you put fire to snow it is suppose to melt correct?
