What is the hottest burning fuel?
Flame Temperatures
| Fuel | Flame Temperature |
|---|---|
| acetylene | 3,100 °C (oxygen), 2,400 °C (air) |
| blowtorch | 1,300 °C (2,400 °F, air) |
| Bunsen burner | 1,300-1,600 °C (2,400-2,900 °F, air) |

What is the hottest burning liquid?
Thermite, a mixture of metal powder and metal oxide, is the hottest burning man-made substance in the world. It burns at temperatures of more than 2,200C, enough to burn through steel or asphalt.
What is the hottest man made flame?
The hottest flame that man has ever created, fluorine burning in hydrogen, at 8,000 deg. F., was described by Dr. A. V. Grosse of Temple University’s Research Institute in September, at a meeting celebrating the National Bureau of Standards fiftieth anniversary in Washington.
Is there a hottest temperature possible?
But what about absolute hot? It’s the highest possible temperature that matter can attain, according to conventional physics, and well, it’s been measured to be exactly 1,420,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 degrees Celsius (2,556,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit).
What material can burn forever?
coal seams
Fueled by coal seams A coal seam-fueled eternal flame in Australia known as “Burning Mountain” is claimed to be the world’s longest burning fire, at 6,000 years old. A coal mine fire in Centralia, Pennsylvania, has been burning beneath the borough since 1962.
What fuel do you use for fire breathing?
Various types of fuels used for fire breathing are liquid hydrocarbons including Naphtha’s (Zippo), gasoline (petrol), diesel; alcohol (methanol, ethanol); liquidified natural gases (propane, butane); and various types of oils including mineral, kerosene (paraffin), and lamp oils.
What burns hotter than the sun?
China’s ‘artificial sun’ experimental fusion reactor has achieved a core plasma temperature over 100 million degrees Celsius — six times hotter than its real counterpart. This is the first time a terrestrial reactor has crossed the threshold temperature needed for self-sustaining fusion — energy’s holy grail.
What would absolute zero do to you?
At absolute zero, the piece of metal will lower your cells’ temperature until they are so cold that the liquid inside them freezes. This would create sharp ice crystals, and damage the structure of your skin cells. And brace yourself.
