[0656] Flaming Hot

- Slide: Flame Color
- Larisa: Flame color depends on several factors such as black-body radiation and spectral band emission.
- Larisa: In the most common type of flame, hydrocarbon flames, the most important factor is oxygen supply. It also determines the rate of combustion.
- Larisa: Now let’s have a look at the different flame types of a Bunsen burner.
- Cloud: I’d take notes if I were you. The final exam on the next day is always super tough.

As long as you don;t take them on paper, cause paper burns.
Landon doesn’t seem to appear in this strip. Not surprising, as he probably had to memorize all of the material long ago.
Larisa is a surprisingly good teacher it seems.
@ Jonathan:
Actually, in panel 2, you can just see his hand to Sandra’s left, behind Larisa.
Always take note’s when someone is zo enthusiastic and do a reading about it! It’s disrespectful to don’t do it.
Is the final a field test? I shudder at the thought of what that might entail.
@ Petah-Petah:
Pretty much everything burns if you have the right oxidizer. That includes steel, glass and concrete. I’d carve my notes in teflon, but then again that might not burn but it will melt relatively easily, so… can’t help you there 😀
Ah good old Clf3 burns everything. ^_^
@ Chaos Inc.:
Yes. This is all scientifically valid and actually one of the key methods of identifying components in luminous stellar bodies.
I might just learn something useful here! 😀
Isn’t it a little absurd showing us the flame color in black & white?

Tomorrow we hear, “This week, we are testing myths about Colorado, but first, what we do can be very dangerous. Please don’t do anything you see us do at home!” “That’s right. We have experts to keep us safe. Hey, what’s with those kids over there?” “Fire in the hole!” “Adam, HIT THE DECK!”
Well It can’t be tougher then my exam on combustion processes in university…
Sooo… when does the flame thrower from 653 come in to this?
@ Jonathan:
I like to think that Larisa said he was distracting her too much and told him to stand in the corner where he wouldn’t be tempting her. Wait no, that’s silly. Nothing could distract Larisa from fire.
Oh, poor Luna. You’re soo behind. Landon’s dating Larissa, and Cloud and Sandra have had to go to these things since the beginning. You’re only on the first day!
The most recent interview jogged my memory on how I found Sandra and Woo. I vaguely remember seeing it advertised on Subeta as a banner. And here I am years later. I don’t play much on Subeta, but I still read this 🙂
I envy Larisa here. Nothing is better than being about to gab about your passions to people who are actually listening.
Still not quiiiiite sure how this is supposed to help Luna and her dad out?
It will probably be the field problem . . .
@ David Nuttall:
I seem to remember a cannonball that the “experts” fired into a house. Don’t get me wrong I love MB but even the best can make a mistake. No one got hurt but it was funny as hell.
I really, really like this fire exposition because it shows off Larisa’s passion as much more than just pyromania. She’s really enthused about it, and I love that she is so excited and into it that she wants to teach her friends about it. The whole interaction here is just really great.

As Stalin would have said (in Larisa’s mind, anyway): “There are few problems that can’t be solved by burning the source down. Nothing left standing, no problem!” “The death of one man is a tragedy. A fire with no obvious cause is an accident.”

Flamee-o….
I want to see the diploma! 🙂
@ Jonathan:
he’s next to Sandra. If you look closely at the second panel, you’ll see his hand writing
Final exam? In a 2-day workshop?
Eh, kind of like Boy Scouts.
I’m happy to see Larisa educate her friends on all this stuff. They’ll need to be educated around her to both prevent fires and deal with them when they happen. “Only you can prevent Larisa fires.”

Now I want to see these in colour. I think having just the flames with colour would look absolutely awesome.
I have the distinct feeling Larissa would get along extremely well with our good friend Emil Vasterstrom. They could share cliff notes on the fine art of Molotov cocktails and other fun incendiaries!

I really don’t know what to say wow you really know your stuff, although I would like to see some things about boom-boom powder (gunpowder). I know I know not as much fire but you have to recognize its combustive applications.
Tomorrow, she gets into the topic of Endothermic vs Exothermic reactions and the useful properties of each…
Man i loved sandra and woo but now its just getting boring and losing its touch. I would love for you guys to start focusing back on woo, sandra, cloud, larissa and woo’s friends in the woods. I loved the comics when it was stuff like woo helping shadow get back at the nature photographer or the crews exploration in abandoned complex, or others such as sandra and cloud at the beach or one of my personal favourites where woo eats tweety bird 🙂 the older comics were always cheeky, funny and playful. I loved the old comics and would really love for you guys to get back to comic strips similar to those. I hope you do take it as constructive criticism and make a change because this comic is starting to feel like a bit of a chore than a highlight of my week :/

Actually, with the modern “smoke-less” types, that would fit in quite well. They don’t explode like the old charcoal/sulpher/salt-peter mix did. Burn incredibly fast, but no boom (unless contained). The olde stuff, especially when milled Triple-F or finer, sometimes went boom looking at it wrong.
And I stand/sit corrected from the last strip. You can spend 12 hours on the subject of fire. Now I need to shut up and start taking notes. Test tomorrow, y’now.
@ Orlah Ehontas:
*has a video camera on a shoulder rig recording the lecture* Smarter not harder people!
The end of modual test is to hand in samples of ashes and she will tell how you burned them. The more creative the higher the mark.
Hi. So, I haven’t read Sandra and Woo since June 2014, and my computer decided to delete all the bookmarks I had, so I was wondering could someone please link me to the first comic strip from June 2014? Thanks.
I must be a geek, that I know all this stuff by heart
@ Far:
A bit I’d say.
What about Benjamin, Theo, Ralph, and the others? Haven’t seen them in a while…
Anything scientific looks so much more impressive in German!
@ Shadow:
Y’know, you could simply click the “Archive” button up top and scroll down through the labels on the left side showing the month under the 2014 header, or wherever you first to pick up from in the future.
I sincerely hope the test is something on the line of “find the right mixture of comburent and combustible to keep the flame alive long enough to burn the rope that would otherwise set off a bomb/molotov and destroy the whole yard”. A paper test would be so not in Larisa style.
Hello there, i just wanted to tell you that i recently found this website an read every comic in only two days. I have never experienced something that made me fell in love with charakters so fast. I even questioned my own life after these comics. I love every charakter and envy all there lifes. Great Job and thank you for makeing these.
Sayyy…. Is Woo on vacation? I don’t see him appearing often in the strips anymore. Seems that the recent story arcs have been focused on Sandra and her friends, old & new. That’s good and all, but let’s not forget either about the second star of the show. Wouldn’t want to retitle the comic as “Sandra without Woo”, now would we ^v^? Still, good comic as always so keep on trucking.
…..
On an unrelated note, seems that Larissa finally found a “firearm specialist” in Luna, should we be worried?
@ Jonathan:
Actually he’s hidden by Larisa and Sandra. You can see his hand on the 2nd panel 🙂
Wow, Larissa sure knows a lot about fire. I’m impressed
I actually want to attend this workshop of hers now, some of that info might be useful.
The flames should have color in this
