Things:
Funnel
Tube to fit on the small end of the funnel
Any powder(try flour to start with)
Air compressor or mouth
Flame source
First you get the funnel and slip the tube on to the small end.
Now pour about half a cup of flour in the open end of the funnel.
Either attach the air compressor to the other end of the tube or put your mouth around it.
Now hold the flame up to the open end of the funnel and turn the compressor on/blow and it should ignite in to an orange flame.
It works because air gets in between the flour particles and acts like an oxidizer.
Don’t bother doing this with a flammable powder as it will work just as well in a pile on the ground.
Not my fault.
