      Technically not just RUclips, it's for streaming video in general. In order to reduce the amount of data to transmit, the site tries its best to only send what changes between frames instead of whole frames. But then the sparks cause too much change as well, so the only option left is to reduce the quality of the image.

    • @NexioGames
      @NexioGames 6 лет назад +1

      EXM Well i hope that's obvious. In this case the video is uploaded on youtube and therefor it is mainly youtube's algorithm doing the compression if not third party programs or camera software is involved that compresses.

      I'm pretty sure everyone has their dabble in using animals for "spiritual" and "traditional" medicines throughout the millennium, but we just seem to remember one particular group of people for their relationship in it. There's plenty of people against it than for it these days, it's like the snake oil guy who used to promote that it can cure everything.etc
      By the way, if they never invented paper. How the hell do we evolve from writing on leather to typing on a laptop?

    • @henlo9690
      @henlo9690 6 лет назад +3

      Kilans Games how does temperature contribute to the cost? I don't see any correlation. Since forgery and metallurgy is developed early in china (as said in the video) it's quite easy to reach such a temperature. Materials isn't a cost either because the village donate their scrap iron.

    • @johnnychang4233
      @johnnychang4233 6 лет назад +5

      The most costly part of this operation would be the coal used to heat up the kiln to achieve the melting point of iron, what they are tossing into the air isn't the refined molten iron from their production line, it's look like more as the slag with impurities that float atop of the kiln when the reduction phase ends, since it's rare to see such sparks in other more modern foundries I bet they use another kind of additives to achieve their reduction process.

    dangerous and spectacular.
    I wonder if, similar to fireworks, additional colors could be introduced.
    Besides the obvious immediate risk of burn injury, I worry about the performers' prolonged exposure to smoke, airborne impurities, and iron compounds.

    • @mfbfreak
      @mfbfreak 3 года назад +1

      I think it would be possible, but you'd be making it more expensive again because you have to buy the more specific elements that give the colored flames. The philosophy behind this, is that it's affordable even to the poorest people.
      Although one thing is easy to add - normal kitchen salt will color any flame a vivid, saturated yellow. You can even try that on the stove by sprinkling some salt into the flame.
