This series needs so much more attention 🔥 thank you for the information and demonstrations!!!
Thanks for the help man. My textbook didn't provide the best explanation.
In fire 1, definitely appreciate the videos man.
Very nice video Matt. Well done bro !
Great video really help breaking it down better than my textbook for forensic fire investigations. Amazing help 💪🏻
Just referenced your video in my essay. ☺️ @Matt Davis
Hi Ben, I do try to explain things in a practical way, so it's great to hear that the video is helpful. Thanks! Good luck with the study 🙂👍
Nice video. You may want to add the following: The pyrolysis gases are not directly consumed by the flame. they are broken down by the high heat into combustible gases (mainly methane0 which then burn to further fuel the fire.
Great suggestion. Thankyou!
You have a great voice, you don’t need the background music. 😢
Thanks. Thats nice of you to say. Making these videos has really been a learning experience.. and there are always things i'd go back and change.. I appreciate the feedback!! Cheers, Matt.
I'm firefighter Brazilian, a like video.
Otima esplicação obrigado.
Thankyou! I'm glad you like it 👍
Bumped into this researching how to make your own charcoal excellent information
Thanks Mark 👍🏼 Glad it was useful
Great video Matt. Well done!
Thanks Shan. Glad you like it!
Good content mate. This was helpful 👍
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Wow! Can't wait to see this word on the gas pump next time I fuel up.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean?
Good informative video 👍
Superb series. Hats off. 🔥
Thanks!!
I suggest all the IMFSE to watch this.
Glad you like it! Feel free to share it around 👍🏼
quality video matt !
Thanks mate 👍🏼
Video on EV fires/thermal runaway? 🙏
It’s on the list for me to make in the next few videos! Thanks for the suggestion!👍
Great video
In the station nightclub fire, the place was filled with carbon monoxide and pyrolysis gas which caught fire quickly, right?
Or was it just CO?
I’m not familiar with that fire sorry. Do you have more information about it?
@@MattDavis5 there's are some videos about It, horrible, quite tough to watch.
Can you ever get all of the pyrolysis gasses out of something without burning it? What is left?
Yes you can (or at least almost all of it). It's called biochar. It is even sometimes made commercially by heating fuels to around 700 degrees Celsius in the absence of oxygen. I believe it can be used in a range of applications such as bio plastics etc. But essentially what is left is carbon and ashes (which are minerals and are not broken down by the process). Hope this answers your question 🙂
Isn't most of the white smoke moisture?
It's dependent on what is burning. If we are talking about wood then yes, in the early stages of the of wood being heated up moisture will be a major component of the smoke. However once the moisture has been removed the remainder will consist of more pyrolysis products. A simple example of this is a car doing a burnout. The tyres heat up from friction with the road and then begin to smoke. There is no flame so it is just pyrolysis products being emitted. If you do a quick youtube search you will see that the smoke is often white in colour 🙂
