Video: The Alkali Metal Match

Ed Prosser September 16, 2012

A break from audio related work - here's a little video I made recently for the Ri Channel. It's not exactly the most of significant of experiments, but when someone commented on a previous YouTube video asking whether it would be possible to ignite a match with a piece of Sodium and a single drop of water, we thought we should have a go.

The video was shot in a morning on a single Panasonic AG-HMC151, in the Royal Institution's legendary prep room with demo Technician Andy Marmery.
