I like fire
Ever poured boiling wax into a camp fire? I don't recommend doing so.
How bout makeing wax plasma? Well, its not realy plasma, but its alot like it. I took a can of wax, and heated past the boiling point, the wax vapour then condenced and formed this plasma like cloud inside the can, the vapour was very explosive and would burn while in a cloud state, it was very scary. But not quite as scary when a friend of mine tried to smother the flames comeing from the can with orange juice. There wasn't any instant reaction, the orange juice droped to the bottom of the can, formed a gas, the pressure caused a small exposion spuing wax all over the place, and sending small wax fireballs threw the air, they landed and continued to burn.
After this, we removed all the wood from the fire, leaveing just the hot coals. Or so we thought. My firend took a stick and sturred the ashes, the entire pit then burst into flames once again. With no fuel in the fire. I beleve unburnt wax had run into the underlying ash of the fire unburnt, and when surfaced started to burn again. This left over wax wasn't going out, our only choice was to put it out with water, this did work, but the water was rapidly evaporateing, faster then we could pour it, at this point we decided it would be safest to smother it in mud, so that it could not rekindle.
