1000°c seems accurate:
Fun little science fact: Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of. It’s called Black Body Radiation. The color chart shows what temperatures correspond with various “colors” of glow.
Heated objects glow the same colors no matter what they are made of
True only if light emissions aren’t dominated by chemical effects or filtered by structural effects. Plenty of materials burn at different colors. Although if you wait out the chemical reactions and keep it heated, it does eventually end up with just blackbody radiation too 🤷
My friend calls pineapples ‘Dragon Eggs’ and tossed one into a bonfire. Pulled it out later to have the most delicious roasted sweet mythical egg ever
Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.
I would like to subscribe to lemon facts.
Like, in the middle of the fire? For how long? Wanna try it in the future
Tossed it in when the fire was at peak flame, and then waited for the wood to burn, the pineapple looked like a big piece of black coal
I need to try this. A full pineapple into the flames naked?
Pineapple can be naked, if anyone else is naked, I suggest not jumping into the flames
I’ve been watching Tech Ingredients search for the best shield material to test their Drone destroying extreme high power laser setup indoors for obvious reasons.
It turned out to be fruits/veggies. Nothing else came close. So he went with panels filled with thickened water.
I’m personally skeptical of laser based weapons, given that they have one wavelength. once one is developed and deployed, it will be trivial to paint drones with a reflective paint specific for that wavelength.
The results is a nation investing 100s of millions on a weapon, that once deployed will be countered by 1000s $ of spray paint.
imagine if you could get a t-shirt that could deflect a any bullet. that’s what still happen with laser based weapons.
I think that wouldn’t necessarily work once you get to the right wavelengths for it to start interacting with the organic bases of the paints. There’s only so much you can do when someone shoots an infrared laser at the resonant frequency of a C=C double bond.
I never knew a disintegration ray was possible.
ups, made an integration ray instead, it does calculus on whatever you shoot
