The yellow glow of candles and bonfires is soot. The soot particles get white hot while they oxidize in mid air. If you deliberately add sodioum cloride to the flame, it adds a thin layer of orange glow. Methan gas flames can be tuned from blue to yellow by controling the amount of air that mixes with the gas. > - Sodium is in everything. ack. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Blog: http://lilalaser.dyndns.org/blog
