Has Geoff finnaly managed to split the atom!...

No in fact I took this picture during an experiment we were carying out for science club, called Methane Mamba, in which you scoop up bubbles of methane and after ensuring that there are no bubbles on the bottom of your hands, the bubbles are ignited with a taper on a the end of a metre rule. As you can see it produces a very impessive mushroom shaped fire ball.

When Mags performed the experiment she achieved a larger fire ball. I will have to get a picture of me doing the Methane Mamba some time to post

A big thankyou to Geoff and Mags for allowing me to use these photos in my blog.

And finally...

This is a dangerous experiment caried out under strict controls.

!!! DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME !!!
