Book The ZERO-G Experience® now for $6700 + 5% tax per person. Each ticket includes 15 parabolas, your own ZERO-G flight suit, ZERO-G merchandise, Regravitation Celebration, certificate of weightless completion, photos, and video of your unique experience.

Weightlessness is achieved by flying G-FORCE ONE through a parabolic flight maneuver. Specially trained pilots fly these maneuvers between approximately 24,000 and 34,000 feet altitude. Each parabola takes 10 miles of airspace to perform and lasts approximately one minute from start to finish.

The nose of the plane is tilted back downward 42 degrees, before the pilots gradually level off the aircraft as they increase engine speed. Passengers again experience a pull of 1.8 times that of gravity on Earth. After 20 seconds, the A310 Zero G returns to a horizontal trajectory.

Combustion experiments conducted in zero gravity yield surprising results. Without gravity, hot air expands but doesn’t move upward. The flame persists because of the diffusion of oxygen, with random oxygen molecules drifting into the fire.

Originally Answered: Can fire occur underwater? Yes. If you supply fuel and oxidizer. There are also flares that burn underwater.

In space, of course, you can’t have any fires because there isn’t any oxidizer (i.e. oxygen) to sustain the combustion process. In space, of course, you can’t have any fires because there isn’t any oxidizer (i.e. oxygen) to sustain the combustion process.

When flames burn on Earth, heated gases rise from the fire, drawing oxygen in and pushing combustion products out. In microgravity, hot gases don’t rise. Space flames can also burn at a lower temperature and with less oxygen than fires on Earth.

The fragrance was developed by Steve Pearce, according to Eau de Space product manager Matt Richmond. Richmond said that he has struggled to describe how the fragrance smells, adding, “Astronauts describe the smell as a mix of gunpowder, seared steak, raspberries and rum.”

A fire cannot burn without oxygen. The burning that a star does, then, is a nuclear reaction, and not a chemical one like the fires on Earth (when a candle burns, the atoms themselves remain unchanged: just the molecules are affected).

Hydrogen Reactions There are generally two ways hydrogen can burn: It can be used in nuclear fusion, in powerful reactions such as the ones that cause stars to burn, or it can combust on earth with the help of the oxygen-rich atmosphere.

The color blue indicates a temperature even hotter than white. Blue flames have more oxygen and get hotter because gases burn hotter than organic materials, such as wood. When natural gas is ignited in a stove burner, the gases quickly burn at a very high temperature, yielding mainly blue flames.

There must be Fuel to burn. There must be Air to supply oxygen. There must be Heat (ignition temperature) to start and continue the combustion process.

Why Does Water Extinguish Fire? When water extinguishes a fire, it does so because it doesn’t break down into its constituent elements. The water molecule doesn’t become hot enough to separate into hydrogen and oxygen and instead, has two potential actions on the fire that can put it out.

Oxygen, heat, and fuel are frequently referred to as the “fire triangle.” Add in the fourth element, the chemical reaction, and you actually have a fire “tetrahedron.” The important thing to remember is: take any of these four things away, and you will not have a fire or the fire will be extinguished.

Fire is a chemical process requiring three things to occur: oxygen, fuel and an ignition source. Without one of these factors, a fire can’t start or will burn itself out. When a fire burns, a process called oxidation occurs, the same process that causes metal to rust.

What can’t be burned in fire, nor drowned in water? Answer: Ice.

While blue represents cooler colors to most, it is the opposite in fires, meaning they are the hottest flames. When all flame colors combine, the color is white-blue which is the hottest. Most fires are the result of a chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen called combustion.

This is black fire. When you mix a sodium street light or low-pressure sodium lamp with a flame, you’ll see a dark flame thanks to the sodium and some excited electrons. “It’s strange to think of a flame as dark because as we know flames give out light, but the sodium is absorbing the light from the lamp.
