lol, and whats the melting point of aluminum? Dont answer I know but it sure the fuck will burn a tree.

[–] [deleted] 7 pts

the water evaporating out of the trees take heat away from the tree itself. aluminum is a consistent metal that absorbs/conducts heat and has nowhere to discharge that heat, so it just absorbs until its state changes to liquid.

That is not how it works. When the aluminum reaches the temperature of the fire it no longer absorbes more heat. The fire itself is limited by how fast it can burn because of oxygen scarcity. The hot gasses carry heat away constantly. The max heat is determined by how fast the fuel and oxygen can create heat before it is carried away. Outside a furnace it gets carried away very quickly.

allright man. So you think that shit was real? Somewhere the rich have been trying to buy and make their own. And none of their land was affected.

i didn't say anything about it being a real wild fire or some kinda of govt OP. that shit burned faster than 'Nam. at least napalm, at worst, white-phosphor.

i was just talking about the physics of it. it's kinda like making charcoal.

Aluminum melting point is 1220°F

Wood heats up to approximately 212°F evaporating the moisture in it. Wood solids starts to break down converting the fuel gases near 575°F From 575°F to 1100°F the main energy in the wood is released when fuel vapors containing 40% to 60% of the energy burn and only charcoal remains burning at temperatures higher than 1100°F

Aluminum has a melting point of approximately 1220°F Nearby trees don't burn.

Right. Even though the trees would be charcoal at that temp. So nothing to see here

again, comparing a refined, forged metal =/= to a living tree. it's like comparing apples to bolts.
