  1. Science Fair Project By: James Campbell

  2. Purpose • To Figure out if it is possible for to make a flame cool enough to be held in the hand • The science behind why it is possible to hold a flame

  3. Hypothesis • If The material is 100% cotton and it is not completely soaked in fuel it will not combust fast enough because the material is 100% cotton then allowing to sustain a flame that can be held in the hand

  4. Materials • 2" x 5" strip of cotton cloth (like from a t-shirt) • 100% cotton thread • needle • naphtha lighter fluid (e.g., Ronsonol™) • match or lighter

  5. Procedure • Thread the needle with cotton thread. • Tightly roll the cotton strip into a ball. • Pierce the ball with the needle and wrap the ball with the thread. End by running the needle through the ball one more time and break off the thread. • Soak the ball with lighter fluid. Don't soak hands. • Don't ignite the fireball while holding it. Set the ball on a fire-proof surface.

  6. Charts

  7. Results • It was possible for the ball to be held but your fingers must be somewhat moist in order for it to not burn

  8. Conclusion • It Is possible to make a hold able fireball as long as the material is 100% cotton and your hands are pre soaked to prevent and burning

  9. Future considerations • If the Experiment were to be done again the material would not be 100% cotton and the ball size would possibleybe reduced.
