What is the purpose of burning a peanut?
352149
The purpose of burning a peanut is to show the high calorie count.  As you know, fire needs a feul source, i.e. energy.  And calories are actually nothing more than a numerical measurement of energy.  So the longer and hotter a feul source burns, the more energy, or calories it has.  Hope this was helpful!

It's when you burn something to offer it to a god or gods, usually on an altar made for this purpose - made of stone and outside.  Many ancient cultures practiced this; it was believed that the smoke rising to heaven and the transformation via fire sent the essence of the grain or lamb or whatever, to the god(s).

This is what we used to do.  Take an incense stick (agarbatti), and note the time it takes to burn up to a fixed point.  Take an identical incense stick, and accordingly set off your cracker.  This is what we used to play tricks with crackers.\n\nBut, if you want to make something serious like a time bomb (exact to the second), ask a master of electronics.  It is a fairly easy thing to do.

First of all the other guy who answered is a punk.  The purpose of an oil can catcher (tank) is where you can add another quart of oil so that if you do burn oil you always have extra and will feed when needed.

my guess is this is an experiment to try to put the skewer through the inflated baloon without it popping by coating the skewer with petroleum jelly.

Probably for soothing burns from skin exposure.  Refer to the MSDS or call the supplier.

it deprives the fire of oxygen which it needs to burn.. so it puts the fire out...

In ancient times the Jews used had a place behind the altar where old Torah were placed (and where they crumbled). \n\nBurning is the standard we use flags.  Book burning however has some bad connotations. Tossing it in the trash is not something we easily do with those things which have meant a great deal.  That leaves burial, and the decomposition that in a way returns the book to the earth. Remember, that the Word of God, the Christ, was buried.

Didn't you ask this already?\n\nPretty sure I answered it...\n\nwent something like...\n\nIf I had to take a stab at this I would GUESS it's because the ash is dry and not very absorbent and the kerosene is still able to give off enough fumes to be ignited. However, the soil is moist and can absorb more of the fuel in such a matter than there aren't enough fumes to be easily ignited.\n\nThat's a guess. I have never actually encountered what you are describing.

If enough moisture is evaporated from the food then it will eventually combust. I'd say a slice of pizza for 15 minutes should do it.

Yes, it could be used, for two reasons.\n\nFire requires three components to occur,these are Fuel,Heat and Oxygen.\nRemoving any one of these will extinguish a fire.\nLiquid nitrogen would actually remove two, thus making it twice as effective!\n\nHope this helps.

I think you mean burning?? as in carbonising, you partly convert the tip of a wooden arrow or spear to charcoal, this carbon is harder than the wood., too much and it shatters.

I don't know.  But I think it will.  It is so hard to find foods that don't have traces of peanut oil.  And if you became anaphylactic and put others at risk, you ought to have been disqualified.
