Do you believe in espontanius combustion???

There seems to be an overwhelming amount of evidence to support this. Do I believe in it? I think I would have to see it myself to believe it but not ruling out that it does exist

Yes.  I have seen it.  Furthermore, I recommend it to any and everyone.  Many may see in it what they want to, but where there is smoke, there is some fire.\nYou are right about the buildings coming down in a suspicious fashion, as well.  While I am not a demolisions expert, it appears to be a "controlled" drop.

sounds like a trip to the ER to me. You don't need axe deoderant to get a good flame. The methane from the fart will do that.

I want it to be, along with other phenomenon, so I'd be happy to see real proof.  I've seen proof of some kinds of ESP that was undeniably "Something", so why not.

I believe that I was my little cousin Becky.  When she was four years old, she died in a fire.  She was on her tricycle in a small shed when a boy she was playing with locked her in and set it on fire.  When the fire department got there, they at first thought she was some sort of doll because her burned body was so small.  \n\nWhen I was itty bitty, I was terrified of fires.  I would pray for about a half hour every night for my house to not burn down.  The earliest I can remember me doing this was when I was two.  I would pray and pray to God to not let me burn up.  I would have nightmares of fire.  When I turned five, the dreams and the fears stopped.\n\nIt wasn't until I was in my twenties that I told my family about my belief that I had been Becky.  My mom got pretty choked up because she was close to Becky (my mom was 14 when Becky died).  My mom said that Becky told her that Becky wished that she (my mom) was her mom.\n\nAlso, I've noticed that everything in my life has a four-year pattern.  My parents got divorced when I was four; my mom and I moved to Utah when I was 8 (an awful experience); My dad got remarried when I was 12 (to a monstrous woman).  Other things that occur in my life seem to last four years.  I lived with my dad and his wife for four years (I moved back home to my mom's in 1997); I got a place of my own in 2001; etc etc etc.  I think that I'm on a four-year cycle because of the age I was when I died before.  My soul is trying to process the trauma of my early death in my previous life.

I think the idea is really, really interesting.  I read a LOT about ghosts and hauntings when I was a kid.  And you can't prove that they don't exist because you can't prove a negative.\n\nHowever, as much as I would love for ghosts to exist, the more I know the more I realize that evidence for ghostly manifestations is probably explainable by non-ghostly, real, but ephemeral phenomena.\n\nFor example, I had a book on ghostly hauntings in England.  There were more scent "hauntings" than any other type, meaning that you would experience the haunting by getting a whiff of pipe smoke or bacon.   This can be explained by the fact that scents can be absorbed by porous materials such as wood and plaster.  After they are absorbed, they will disappear until meteorological conditions,  like high humidity, cause the scent to become airborne and be smellable again.  Given a very porous wall and a long-standing habit like pipe-smoking and you can get whiffs of smoke for geneartions.

YES, and this is so cool check it out!\nhttp://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/space-station-flame.jpg\nIt burns in a perfect sphere!

You are probably referring to the "super tidal wave" theory. The volcano involved is the Cumbre Vieja in La Palma near Africa.

I wondered where you had been.  You think way, WAY outside the box, don't you!?  I thought the question was pretty disgusting until I read the additional details.  What an imagination.  My only thought is, that's a lot of contained gas and wouldn't the funnel explode?

I believe it would definitely combust... as soon as it heats up.\n\nGasoline combusts at around 1950 degrees Celsius. So if you take gasoline that's at -120 degrees, you'll need for it to heat up before it combusts.\n\nFirst Law of Thermal Dynamics and the Adiabatic combustion temperatures should help explain how all this works.\n\nDon't forget that you wouldn't ever have a burning cube of frozen gasoline. As the outside of the cube begins to melt, it will burn and evaporate... think about the way a water ice cube melts if you were to light a fire under it.

Probably a hoax.  I wouldn't get too excited about it.\n\nHe drove for 100 miles using 4 oz of water ... oh, but he has his car set up as a hybrid (read: it went 100 miles on ordinary gasoline)\n\nHe turns on his electrolyzer and gas comes out of a nozzle that burns hot but he can still hold the tip of the torch! (big deal, the gas flow is cooling the end.  It proves nothing, zip, nada)\n\nThe flame produces water! (of course it produces water, it is hydrogen and oxygen combining to .... water.  It has done this for centuries, maybe longer)\n\nThe military is interested in the technology. (the military investigates all possible technology.  It doesn't mean it is good)\n\nThis has all the markings of a hoax: short on facts long on peripheral demonstrations that mean nothing.

Aw. Still not fast enough. Two people beat me!\n\nWhen you burn gas of any type you will produce water vapor as part of the chemical reaction. The water vapor condenses as it cools and dribbles out when the tail pipe is lower than the rest of the pipe.

Carbon Dioxide is always a product of combustion, never a reactant.  Adding CO2 to a fire/explosion would only every suppress the reaction, not promote it (according to LeChatelier's principle).  The only "explosions" you'll get with CO2 would be pressure based (release of pressurized gas), not chemically based.

I posted a very similar question here not long ago (minus the farting bit)!!\nI asked if I was the only one that thought it was all 'tosh'\nI should have actually asked about ozone layers etc!\nHowever I did get a couple of very interesting answers that agreed with me, I hope you get the same response, I am sure it is all hogwash and I was very pleased to hear from others that were on the same wave length.

If you're interested in spontaneous human combustion, it's a myth.  The human body can burn much like a candle wick will burn a candle, slowly burning away. It cannot suddenly burst into flames and burn to ash.  There have been cases that look like a body suddenly burned from within, but research has shown that there were other sources of ignition that were missed at first.  \nSpontaneous combustion is a real process in other materials though. Oily rags kept in pile in a garage, can reach temperatures capable of supporting self sustaining fire as they decompose.  Piles of old garbage with food and other material create heat as they decompose.  If they get dry enough these can cause themselves to catch fire, hence spontaneous combustion, but the human body has too much water in it to just suddenly burst into flames.

OH CAN IT EVER. It's call blue-flaming or torqing. You lay on you back and throw your legs back over your head as far as you can. Hold a lighter (not a match) near the butt-opening. If you get too close you create some risk. Build up a doozy and let 'er rip while the lighter is going. You have to exhaust the whole thing, or else you risk bringing some of the fire back inside of you while your butt-opening is still, well, open. So push it all out. Some of the flames can get huge. Just watch out for the "banana torq". It wraps around and burns bad things.

I do, because their fire is out of controll!!!!!!
