7:48 Makes me think: You can make fireballs. Make it so when you press a button, the white thing fires and immediately is set on fire from a delayed reaction. Making you shoot fire and kill people maybe?
Actually, methane has a 30 times bigger greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide. When burning, you get three times as much carbon dioxide than methane. So burning the methane instead of releasing it into the air would actually be good. Just set the cows farts on fire!
This concept makes sense actually. Most likely a flammable gas that's been super condensed/chilled to a liquid (like liquid nitrogen is). And the reason it doesn't all go up in flames is probably because the liquid around the fire flash-steams, pushing the the fire away faster than the liquids overall flow rate.
As soon as the video started and I saw he was playing with Methane, my first thought was "I wonder if he'll make a soap bubble tower to light on fire?". I am glad to see that the answer was yes. Anytime you have Methane that is just something you gotta do lol.
I suppose this has been mentioned before, but the methane won't light until the nitrogen boils away because at STP the boiling point of nitrogen is −195.795 °C, much colder than that of methane, -161 °C. That's also why you can use liquid N to produce liquid methane.

Worse: you can mix it with liquid methane, and it stays mixed in liquid form (like alcohol and water) at all relevant ratios. Oh yes, it's explosive.
