    Amoretti biscuits are sometimes served with a coffee, especially in Italian restaurants. But after you have eaten the biscuit, you can have fun with the paper wrapper. As well as cellulose fibres, many types of paper include fillers such as chalk or china clay. This makes it easier to write or print on the paper's surface. It also makes the paper heavier. But the paper wrappers on Amoretti biscuits are made from a particularly light weight paper, apparently without fillers, which makes this trick possible.
    First flatten the paper, then roll it up into a loose tube, and stand it on one end. Light the top of the paper, ideally at both sides of the tube so that it burns evenly. It is important that there are no drafts, since that will simply cause the paper to fall over. The paper burns rapidly, and people that have not seen the trick can start to panic, and can sometimes try to blow it out or even throw a glass of water over the burning paper! But as the paper burns away, the paper that is left becomes lighter and lighter, and eventually, the last piece of the tube gets carried up into the air, on the updraft caused by the heat from the burning paper. At anything from 3 to 8 feet above the table, the last piece of the paper burns away, and a piece of black ash slowly descends. Magic!
    Other paper items...
    Pages from a book have been cleverly folded, creating the figure of an angel...
    A paper item that can be folded different ways, to create different shapes...
    A paper slinky, known as 'Flurry Fun'.
    Finally, an amazing sheet of paper that Tim has just bought from Japan. Roll the paper up into a tube, and you have... a torch! There are a couple of very small batteries, attached to one end of the sheet, and the sheet is covered with an array of LEDs. The other side of the sheet does not have LEDs, but it has a metallic grid that covers it. When you bring the two sides of the sheet of paper into contact - for example by rolling the sheet up - the circuit is completed, and the LEDs light up. The paper torch. Amazing!

    My son and I have spent years loving your videos. And we will go on loving them and our grandchildren will love them too. To readers, please foster the sense of curiosity. It pays back more than you can imagine. Within your self or others, being curious will bring you and others joy. Whether that be cooking or replacing car parts. It all starts with being amazed with what's possible. Gems like Tim ignite that flame in people of all ages.

    If you watch the fire-balloon burn, you can see the flame turn green as it passes the part with the blue ink, which means the ink likely contains copper.

    I still remember the first video you did on this and I bought Amoretti biscuits for the papers when I was in Italy and I saw how it worked, and when I went back home it worked EXACTLY how you showed.
    AMAZING, TIM.
    So much love and appreciation.

    In finland we would use Teabags for paper balloons. If you took the bag apart carefully it could be made into tube and launched like paper balloon.
    These days quite few tea bags are not good paper balloons as modern savings have changed the bags, but the paper is readily available, good balloon material.

    The flying wrapper reminds me of an old trick I learned as a kid. You take an ordinary teabag (preferably individually wrapped) while telling a story:
    A man is selling rockets to the military. The military tells him the price is too high. So the man says, "alright, we'll remove the packaging to bring the price down." You take the teabag out of the packaging. The price is still to high, so the man removes the safety (take the label off the string). Still too high. Take the fuse off (string). Too high. Remove the little staple holding the bag closed. Still too high. "Ok, we'll take the gunpowder out." Unfold the bag and pour out the tea. At this point the military is all, "the rocket won't fly without the gunpowder!" The man responds with, "oh yes it does," and you straighten the teabag into a tube, set it on the table and light it just like the rolled up candy wrapper, causing it to fly off.

    I suppose I have heard it before, but never really thought much about it, that ordinary paper contains some kind of clay and chalk or gypsum to make it more opaque. Knowing this, it becomes very obvious why cutting lots and lots of paper with scissors make the scissors' cutting edges dull over time, even more noticeable with regular kitchen knives or paper knives. As my employer's only IT technician, it has been my task during the last 5 years to perform maintenance on the paper shredder, exposing me to a lot of paper dust containing chalk or gypsum and lots of other types of dust particles. Different types and qualities of paper contains different amounts of clay and chalk. It has become rather obvious to me that cheap paper is quite dirty if you have to handle lots of paper waste from all the paper bins and the shredder. Thank you very much for the enlightenment (literally). 😄😊

    Tim, you can actually do the same thing you did at the beginning with a tea bag. My mom used to make it into a nice story when I was a child, along the lines of:
    A boy really wanted to buy a rocket for new years eve, but he was poor and didn't have much money. When he asked the clerk for the cheapest rocket, he was disappointed to learn it was much too expensive.
    He asked, "What if we take it out of the packet?" *Storyteller takes out the tea bag of its little packet*
    - "Well if we take it out of the packet, I'll make it a little cheaper for you"
    He asked, "What if we remove the tag?" *Storyteller removes the tag on the end of the string*
    - "Well if we remove the tag, I'll make it a little cheaper for you"
    He asked, "What if we remove the fuse?" *Storyteller removes the string*
    - "Well if we remove the fuse, I'll make it a little cheaper for you"
    He asked, "What if we remove the powder?" *Storyteller removes the content from the tea bag*
    - "Well if we remove the powder, I'll make it a very, very cheap for you"
    The boy was so happy to finally have a rocket for new years eve, for the first time in his life, and when the time came to light his rocket:
    *Storyteller places the empty tea bag (now in the form of a paper cylinder) and lights it* And it flies into the air like you showed! A great story for children!😁

    • @CrowSkeleton
      @CrowSkeleton 6 месяцев назад +2

      I love the story! For modern tea bags, make sure it's a brand that says the bags are plastic-free, a lot of cheaper brands took to using polycotton fibre for the pulp in the '00s and that could fume as well as spoil the rocketing effect.

    Supposedly you can use japanese washi paper instead, I haven't tried that yet. At least the cookies are pretty good, so it wasn't a complete waste.
