Slow Match would burn at a metre a minute and Quick Match would burn at a metre a second. When setting a fuse, you would use say ten metres of Quick Match, with a bit of Slow Match at the end so you could get the hell out. The figures here may not be completely accurate: but the point I'm making is that gunpowder burns at different rates and people who were experts understood that very well.

He had been mowing and suffered the fatal disrythmia. We performed CPR until the medic was ready to shock, and we all moved back when advised to "clear." Well, the AED went off, and we all got zapped, because we were kneeling in the damp grass (dew) that the patient was lying on...

Evaporation will increase and the speed ought to do the same. Also it seems that fuel is mixed according to season, so you should use winter fuel for extra volatility.

Try outrunning a line of FFF black powder which was used back in the day for muzzleloaders/muskets. Good luck. The gun powder myth is incorrect.

You showed that a trail of powder just poured ramdomly burnt fast and a constent trail burnt slower. How many cowboy's would have taken the time to measure the trail. You should have tried it by pouring a trail from a bag and then trying to out run it. I don't think you'll make it. Myth busted. I have a problem with the gun powder being kicked out.

If the person was sweating, the additional moisture would be conductive. Just a thought! Love the show - keep it up!!!
