Dust Explosion

Someone blowing cornstarch into a flame causing a fireball

PIRA: 4F10.40

A scoop or two of corn starch is placed loosely in the funnel. By blowing forcefully and steadily into the free end of the hose, a nice cloud of corn starch dust can be made. In the presence of an open flame, an impressive fire ball will occur.
