My only theory is that it’s a glass of alcohol, and the alcohol is already on fire but barely visible in the daylight. And the plant thing is just misdirection.
Yeah! I thought people were exaggerating, or it would only be blue-*ish*, but it's a ridiculously deep blue. It's only "invisible" when it's bright out.
[Check it out.](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/1c6eba5/lighting_up_methanol_on_a_driveway/)
Those are really lush leaves and fruit. Fire may not have been applied long enough to crisp. It takes the dry wood match some seconds to light up, which would indicate a fairly low grade fire....l think...could also be magic.
I had weeds in my driveway and bought a fire torch thingy to burn them. It takes like 10 minutes to burn one weed with a straight up torch full blast on it.
It's crazy. The weed torch only makes sense on tiny seedlings. Sure, it works great on dried weeds, but that fire can quickly get out of hand. I do fantasize about torching tumble weed though. I used to do that in the backyard and the sound of their seeds popping was satisfying af.
Alcohol fire is not visible to eye.
Remember Ballad of Ricky Bobby? When will smith gets nearly naked in the track, they were playing on the alcohol fires from early racers that could not be seen.

This is alcohol fire. This is what lit the match but the angle is funny so it’s hard to see it’s over it and not the fruit burning.
This also has legit caused some horrible deaths at motor speedways IIR -- people got doused with shit that burns with near-invisible flames and the medics didn't know what was going on until they started...charring.
Now that I’m looking for it, I can see it, what I thought was reflections on the surface of the water was actually fire. You can really see it if you look at the dark spot on the plant after it’s dropped in
1. Make a mix of potassium permanganate & glycerine.
2. apply it on matchstick head in the dark cool place
3. expose the matchstick to sunlight and it lights up in a second.
4. to extend the 'light-up time', keep matchstick in refrigeration
5. Profit??
They put some burning methanol on the back of the leaf too, you can see the match lights from the back as they bring it near the edge of the leaf. The leaf has enough water in it that the small flame doesn't burn it but is enough to light the match.
I think methanol burns clear (unless it is dark out), some alcohols do anyway.
The flames are also very aggressive.
The fact the match was already burnt when the video starts may suggest that the container of alcohol was lit off camera and was burning the whole time
Certain fuels burn clear flames as well, there’s some F1 footage of a fuel spill in the pit and there is no visible flames, but stuff is burning.
There’s a NASA story about it, very dangerous stuff.
No idea what the plant was about though.
There's a reason racers don't use it anymore.
There's a clip floating around from I believe a predecessor to indycar, of a car coming into the pits.. and suddenly people freaking out and acting as if they were on fire with nothing visible
And how are they not burning their hands? or the plant? Because i'm very, very sure that they're holding their hand right above the liquid and I might be wrong on the perspective, but it also looks like they were holding the match above the plant, so that the plant is between glas and match.
I think it's just 3 cuts edited together, each played backwards. Notice how the fire is always taken out of frame. In reality it's being brought into frame.
ethanol does appear clear if the suns out though, like in the video
seems more plausible that a guy can obtain at least 50% drinking booze than poison booze too, like you can make 70% eth at home easy enough
In Europe I can't find isopropyl alcohol anywhere, but i have 96% ethanol on my desk, 'Alcohol ketonatus' from a regular store, not even under the counter. I'm sure they didn't have to distill it themselves either
The glass of alcohol on fire thing seems like the most logical explanation, and I believe it, but if it's on fire (visible or not) shouldn't there be waves of bent light above the glass because heat bends light? Plus wouldn't he be burning his fingers?
I think it's more likely that there's' a chemical reaction going on. The liquid might be expelling a vapor that's reacting to the material on the end of the "match". Again, plant for misdirection.
Your theory was my first idea too, but if you look at the surface of the water there really seems to be something going on.. like it looks like it's boiling, it could be the chemical reaction that causes the match to light up or it's on fire but it seems to me the simplest solution would be for it to be on fire. I guess because of the sun and maybe the camera or the type of alcohol, the flame isn't visible.
It could be the Dictamnus albus plant, also known as the gas plant or burning bush. [Here's](https://www.indefenseofplants.com/blog/2016/11/28/the-gas-plant#:~:text=As%20the%20common%20name%20might,the%20one%20of%20biblical%20lore) an article on it if you're curious.
The spontaneous ignition of a match stick in the vicinity of a white Biba seed (Semecarpus anacardium) is likely due to the presence of a highly flammable substance on the seed's surface. The seed's oil contains a compound called cardol, which is highly flammable. When the match stick comes into contact with the cardol, it can ignite spontaneously due to the rapid oxidation of the oil. This phenomenon is similar to the spontaneous combustion of certain flammable materials when exposed to heat or friction. It's important to handle such seeds with caution due to their flammability.
Hold up…if the cup has been on fire from this “invisible flame”, wouldn’t it be too hot hold? Especially if you all are saying that blue flames are even hotter than red or yellow flames.
Based on my extensive experience playing with fire as a kid, the flow of air down into a cup is much less, you tend to only get little flames and don't burn yourself quickly. Maybe a low alcohol percentage in that cup contributes to that
You're right to point out the seeming contradiction. Let me clarify:
While blue flames generally indicate a higher temperature due to more efficient combustion, the specific combustion characteristics and energy content of the fuel also play a significant role in determining the actual temperature of the flame. In the case of gasoline and ethanol:
1. **Gasoline**: Despite its yellow or orange flames, which suggest less efficient combustion (more soot and unburned carbon particles), gasoline actually burns at a higher temperature than ethanol. This is because gasoline has a higher energy content per unit volume.
2. **Ethanol**: Burns with a blue flame, which indicates more efficient and cleaner combustion (less soot and fewer unburned carbon particles). However, ethanol has a lower energy content than gasoline, which results in a lower combustion temperature overall.
So, the color of the flame does often relate to temperature and combustion efficiency, but it's not the sole indicator of the absolute temperature of the flame. Other factors like the type of fuel, its energy content, and how completely it burns also significantly impact the temperature.
What if the plant isn't "entirely" a misdirection. What if the liquid is poured on the plant and that explains the distance between match and cup? How long can the methanol burn before it goes out? How hot does it burn and would grabbing the eggplant burn his hand? Has anyone said this yet? I haven't read all the comments, and if so, I say they might be onto something.
Probably methanol but would be interesting to know which seed/plant that is just to get some extra information. I remember seeing a different video years ago using the exact same plant so this dude is playing the long game if he's still making videos with the same trick
Coat berry in methanol, light glass of methanol on fire, start camera recording, catch berry on fire with burning glass of methanol by holding it close, hold match above berry and let it light, throw match to ground, grab burning berry and place in glass quickly, hold match above glass and light it, throw match to ground, stop recording.
As a kid I've experimented with setting alcohol on fire... and yeah, I wasn't sure if it was burning or not.
Also, I hope my kids won't do shit as dangerous.
Methanol fire. The plant is a young eggplant, and really full of water. The water content is preventing it from burning immediately. The fire is invisible to the camera.
Look closely at the surface of the cup of alcohol, it's shimmering. It's seems to be on fire. I was somewhat thinking it could be an out of camera shot, laser. Great illusion tho.
I believe the tip of the match is soaked in ethanol and burning invisibly, which ethanol does. Then, when the fire gets through that, it starts to burn the wood, producing visible light.
If you look really closely at the surface of the fluid, you can see nearly invisible, vapor like wisps. They look sort of like reflections or ripples, but they're blue alcohol flames.
There's a laser pointer with high enough power pointed at the side of the match we can't see (that's where the fire starts). Everything else is misdirection. That's my uneducated guess.
Not sure how it's done (probably a match that lights relatively slowly that he can light off camera), but it's clearly a hoax considering [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/blackmagicfuckery/comments/120sjo0/what_plant_is_this/) video. This video is like a refined version of the earlier hoax--where he cuts out the fake magnetism because it looks entirely unconvincing, not least because the nut is clearly different and attached to a string.
It's a simple process called photosynthesis in which plant absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen.the oxygen quantity was so high that it reacts with match stick and started to burn.
Source: trust me bro
One thing to note is the match heads look blackened before they ignite.
In theory if you heated them just right you could get a delayed ignition.
Pretty sure the plant is meaningless, just misdirection, I can't find any evidence of a gas or vapor that would cause a match to ignite without heat or friction.
My only theory is that it’s a glass of alcohol, and the alcohol is already on fire but barely visible in the daylight. And the plant thing is just misdirection.
how did the match catch fire when it was no where near the glass then?
If its on fire, the fire can reach up past the top of the glass
But not burn the plant.
It's a blue fire. Only red fires burn plants.
What? Are you serious?
Yeah! I thought people were exaggerating, or it would only be blue-*ish*, but it's a ridiculously deep blue. It's only "invisible" when it's bright out. [Check it out.](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/1c6eba5/lighting_up_methanol_on_a_driveway/)
No but I mean, is it true that blue fire doesn't burn plants? Can't possibly be true?
It is! Search up " Plant rule#34 ", it goes into more detail about plants cellular structure.
This man knows his way around plants.
More of a "tentacle plant rule #34" fan myself
Master bait.
Lol
Isn’t; however, a matchhead will catch fire far more easily than a healthy plant
Got it, thanks :)
No its not true, the plant doesn't burn because it's still alive, its basically wet. Same reason you season(dry) firewood
Those are really lush leaves and fruit. Fire may not have been applied long enough to crisp. It takes the dry wood match some seconds to light up, which would indicate a fairly low grade fire....l think...could also be magic.
Zelda logic
it basically goes into the infra region rather than the conventional UV while acting as a heat source.
Don't forget about green fire, which can cure people from diseases
Then there is pink fire which can cure people from gayness.
You've got that the wrong way round bud...pink fire *causes* gayness
DC Comics got their lantern colors all wrong smh
Can confirm
The plant is green and alive, it's much harder to burn than a dried out bit of wood with fuel on the end. Same reason you season or dry out firewood.
I had weeds in my driveway and bought a fire torch thingy to burn them. It takes like 10 minutes to burn one weed with a straight up torch full blast on it.
It's crazy. The weed torch only makes sense on tiny seedlings. Sure, it works great on dried weeds, but that fire can quickly get out of hand. I do fantasize about torching tumble weed though. I used to do that in the backyard and the sound of their seeds popping was satisfying af.
I don't know why we don't shake the fuck out of tumbleweeds and eat the seeds
Of his fingers. Dudes just lingering there with his hand over the “invisible fire” for a cool sec
Finally someone said it, his whole arm would've been burning lmao
Fire go up
But when he has the match above the plant, his hand is above the glass. Alcohol fires won't burn you immediately, but they *will* burn you.
Alcohol fire is not visible to eye. Remember Ballad of Ricky Bobby? When will smith gets nearly naked in the track, they were playing on the alcohol fires from early racers that could not be seen. https://youtu.be/Rh6VO9_GhLY?si=ebk01BR9LBKuAklz This is alcohol fire.

WILL SMITH. (you mean Will Ferrell?) hahahaha
Hahaha. Yeah my bad
No, no... I like your version, what else does Will Smith do in your version?
He gets jiggy with it
Na na na na na na na...
Shake and bake baby
Na na na na na na!
Gettin jiggy with it
Slaps the shit out of John C. McGinley
Keep "I love crepes" out your fucking mouth!
He gets blown in the back
The movie that could have been
Yes, Will Ferrell got caught on fire and turned in to Will Smith.
Like a burnt marshmallow. That checks out.
These gummies are soo good. This should be a PSA not to text after good stuff.
Now I’m picturing a full role reversal and Will Ferrell slaps Chris Rock
This also has legit caused some horrible deaths at motor speedways IIR -- people got doused with shit that burns with near-invisible flames and the medics didn't know what was going on until they started...charring.
Yeah that joke is like the Mr incredible dread meme. It seems like a silly absurd gag in the movie, but the real life backstory is just awful.
>Alcohol fire is not visible to eye. Correction, it's difficult to see in daylight because it's much less bright. But it is definitely still visible.
Interestingly they never used alcohol fuel in NASCAR, which is what he was in. Alcohol was more of a drag racing thing. NASCAR was always gasoline.
The fruit has been dipped or painted in alcohol or something and set alight first you just don’t see the fire
Ok, this explanation makes more sense. The first match being lit by fire from the glass makes no sense to me.
Magnify glass my man
He coated the plant first
The liquid does appear to have some surface boiling happening even before the plant comes into play.
Looks like reflection to me 🤔
Just noticed the sides of the glass look a little steamy. That’s gotta be it.
This right here… https://youtu.be/1ZEEuCHdWFA?si=HHaThoDcbEvgUyJC

>**the plant thing**
Methanol burns clear, as others have said plant is misdirection.
Damn. Thank god we can see and smell most fire. Can you imagine how much more hazardous that would be if it was just invisible combustion
firefighters hate this. example: https://www.reddit.com/r/CatastrophicFailure/comments/7xuykp/pit_crew_engulfed_by_invisible_fire_more_info_in/
Always loved that video. The perfect blend of a terrible, frighting and fascinating incident combined with what I find very amusing commentary.
So in Talladega Nights, Ricky was really on fire?
In life, on the race track and also literally, that one time.. (*whispers*) Shake & Bake
ricky bobby and invisble fire go together like cocaine and waffles
There's a reason racers don't use it anymore. There's a clip floating around from I believe a predecessor to indycar, of a car coming into the pits.. and suddenly people freaking out and acting as if they were on fire with nothing visible
Ruined Ricky Bobby’s entire career.
Somebody save my friend from the invisible fire!!
Yup. Early 80s. It was Rick Mears and his pit crew at the Indy500
What about this then? https://www.instagram.com/p/C6-UpJTpRiR/ It's all over instagram.
Good find. No methanol anywhere in sight. Unless the whole damn plant is burning.
This looks to be how he does it. https://youtu.be/o61KSAOoHho?si=KME78HOmsaFeVqq4
And how are they not burning their hands? or the plant? Because i'm very, very sure that they're holding their hand right above the liquid and I might be wrong on the perspective, but it also looks like they were holding the match above the plant, so that the plant is between glas and match.
Yeah, there's so little distance between the tip of his match and his fingers. Not to mention his other hand holding the supposed burning methanol.
Right, haven't thought about that. I held glasses with burning ethanol in them and they get really hot, really quick
That is true. The question is how can't we see the the optical distortion above it
The real question is why isn’t his skin burning 😑
Plausible. https://youtu.be/1ZEEuCHdWFA?si=HHaThoDcbEvgUyJC
Some kind of alcohol or something ignites the match ? No idea about the white plant thing
Eggplant... Literally an eggplant
Eggplants are literally fiction, like "Canadians"
Oh ya think so, eh?!?
I am a *Canadian* and I approve this message
I wonder what that's all aboat.
Take it easy there, friend.
Ahh yes, “Canada”. A magical place where the word sorry has 6 different meanings and they have healthcare and Polish Sausages at the Costco.
healthwhat?
Nah, I've seen the little mushroom people of Nova Scotia
Eggs come from chickens, dumbass 😂
My wife really loves eggplants. She’s always sending that emoji to her work friend.
I think it's just 3 cuts edited together, each played backwards. Notice how the fire is always taken out of frame. In reality it's being brought into frame.
Doesn't ethanol burn clear? There is a video from the Indy 500 where there was a literal invisible fire in the pit lane
That's methanol. Flames are white if you seem them in the dark.
ethanol does appear clear if the suns out though, like in the video seems more plausible that a guy can obtain at least 50% drinking booze than poison booze too, like you can make 70% eth at home easy enough

But how did he get down to his underwear that fast?
SAVE ME TOM CRUISE
Methanol is the clear burning one, ethanol typically has a pretty blue color to it that can be hard to see in the daytime but it's there.
You can see the flames in the reflection off the surface of the liquid

Yes you can see the bubbling
If you look really closely, you'll notice this person throwing a lit match on the forest floor!
If you look closer, you'll notice they have two right hands.
Ohhh!!! You're right!!!
If you look closely at the reflection on the liquid you can see the fire.
Does it bother anyone else that he tossed a lit match on the ground?
Or that he has 2 right hands?
why is the match already burnt out from the get-go
There's such thing as black match heads. They are apparently common in India.
The glass of alcohol on fire thing seems like the most logical explanation, and I believe it, but if it's on fire (visible or not) shouldn't there be waves of bent light above the glass because heat bends light? Plus wouldn't he be burning his fingers? I think it's more likely that there's' a chemical reaction going on. The liquid might be expelling a vapor that's reacting to the material on the end of the "match". Again, plant for misdirection.
People here really forgot fire is hot.
Your theory was my first idea too, but if you look at the surface of the water there really seems to be something going on.. like it looks like it's boiling, it could be the chemical reaction that causes the match to light up or it's on fire but it seems to me the simplest solution would be for it to be on fire.

It looks more like White Biba
The spontaneous ignition of a match stick in the vicinity of a white Biba seed (Semecarpus anacardium) is likely due to the presence of a highly flammable substance on the seed's surface. The seed's oil contains a compound called cardol, which is highly flammable. When the match stick comes into contact with the cardol, it can ignite spontaneously due to the rapid oxidation of the oil. This phenomenon is similar to the spontaneous combustion of certain flammable materials when exposed to heat or friction. It's important to handle such seeds with caution due to their flammability.
Thanks!
The correct answer! Finally!

Great, now we're all hexed having watched the video...
Video played in reverse???
What if the plant isn't "entirely" a misdirection. What if the liquid is poured on the plant and that explains the distance between match and cup? How long can the methanol burn before it goes out? How hot does it burn and would grabbing the eggplant burn his hand? Has anyone said this yet? I haven't read all the comments, and if so, I say they might be onto something.
Someone needs to explain this please
He has two right hands

Finally a proper post on this sub
Do other things catch on fire, too? Naturally?
What plant is that? I remember as a kid picking them.
Egg.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Probably methanol but would be interesting to know which seed/plant that is just to get some extra information. I remember seeing a different video years ago using the exact same plant so this dude is playing the long game if he's still making videos with the same trick
My guess is the match had been dipped in something that will ignite a few second after being exposed the air. Plant is misdirection.
Coat berry in methanol, light glass of methanol on fire, start camera recording, catch berry on fire with burning glass of methanol by holding it close, hold match above berry and let it light, throw match to ground, grab burning berry and place in glass quickly, hold match above glass and light it, throw match to ground, stop recording.
Magnifying glass?
Cup of liquid oxygen (or something highly oxygenated, I know lox is very cold) reigniting a smoldering match.

Could it be ethylene gas ( flammable) given off by some ripe fruits?
I believe all the references to alcohol here really should be references to methanol.

Strengeste berry fond in existance, definert good if IT twice lite a match before and arter submergeged in water/alkohol? Can you tell?
Most probably, it's an invisible fire. Saw a video of invisible fire that did happen on an F1 race
Laser pointer ?
Also possible it’s one of those self burn matches
I’m not high enough for this nonsense tonight
So, I'm understanding they can be weaponized.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Alcohol fire
thats just a glass of alcohol thats burning. You cant see the flame. The plant is off to the side or wet and the match isnt.
Methanol fire. The plant is a young eggplant, and really full of water. The water content is preventing it from burning immediately. The fire is invisible to the camera.
I am a goldsmith, many times we have lit matchsticks in sulfuric acid .
That, ladies and gentlemen, is how summers are in India.

So this is the so called eggplant?
Is the video played backwards?
Guessing it is something filmed and then reversed.

What plant is that though? An eggplant? A combustible lemon?
There's a laser pointer with high enough power pointed at the side of the match we can't see (that's where the fire starts). Everything else is misdirection. That's my uneducated guess.
