New, from the people who bring you veoh – mixin.com – a new way to watch video
Here at Slightly-Mad Science we do Dangerously-Stupid science demos and make things splodey...so you don't die a horrible blazing electric death!
For more go to slightlymadscience dot com! Using a number of metallic salts and other chemical substances, one can create fire of various colors. By giving the electrons in the elements heat energy using fire, the electrons go to a higher energy level. In order to return to their original orbital state, they release this excess energy as photons. The wavelength of these photons determine the colors you see in the flames in the video. This video is not intended as educational, but not for reproduction. Many safety measures are taken that are not detailed here, nor were the many small scale tests run to ensure safety.

I recently obtained a "Violet Wand" (not to be confused with a "Violent Wand" which is what Harry Potter fans use when you make fun of them). It was made over 80 years ago, and still works. It's a nice example of applied physics, and ALSO how some will try to scam you into buying quack medical devices claiming to cure almost every known disease. Perfect for Slightly-Mad Science. Time for some antique high voltage!

I have remained silent while a tragedy of epidemic proportions rages across the entire world. I can no longer remain silent. I MUST do something. Sarcasm follows.
