What Happens If You Light Jet Fuel vs Gasoline?

Video Description

I Run a Couple Experiments with Jet Fuel and gasoline to show how jet fuel gets ignited during an aviation impact and which fuel ignites easier. Gasoline and iet fuel are both petroleum-derived fuels, but they are engineered for different types of engines and conditions. Gasoline is a lighter, highly volatile fuel used in car engines, where it must ignite quickly and burn rapidly to support fast piston cycles. Jet fuel. on the other hand is a kerosene-based fuel that is heavier and less volatile, designed to burn steadily and remain stable under the extreme temperatures and pressures experienced in iet engines and at high altitudes. Because of its higher flash point 100F, iet fuel is also safer to store and handle in almost all conditions. also why we see such massive fires when an aviation impact occurs even though Jet fuel is not Flammable but it is Combustable. It's a common misconception that jet fuel is some kind of explosive "liquid rocket fuel." But is it actually more dangerous than the gas you put in your car? The truth is, Jet Fuel (Jet A) is technically safer than Gasoline in its liquid form, yet we still see terrifying fireballs after high-impact aviation accidents. I demonstrate the key concepts of flammable vs. combustible liquids, the role of flash point, and why jet fuel doesn't ignite when you put a flame to a puddle. A simple demonstration of the difference in volatility and flash point, A Wick Test: Showing how heating a localized area of jet fuel above its flash point allows it to burn (like a candle!). High-Speed Tank Rupture Replication: I simulate a high-velocity fuel tank rupture to see the effects of fuel atomization on ignition and Atomization Ignition: The final visual proof of why simply spraying jet fuel makes all the difference. Discover the science behind the headlines and get an insightful understanding of hydrocarbon chains, volatility, and energy density. The fireballs we see aren't due to jet fuel's volatility, but its ability to be instantly vaporized or atomized during a high-impact crash.
