Specific colors can be imparted to the flame by introduction of excitable species with bright emission spectrum lines. In analytical chemistry, this effect is used in flame tests (or flame emission spectroscopy) to determine presence of some metal ions. In pyrotechnics, the pyrotechnic colorants are used to produce brightly colored fireworks. At the higher levels of the flame, brown transitions into red and yellow. This is an area with a greater amount of carbon that has temperatures approaching 1400° Fahrenheit.

THE RANGE

Purple is a psychic color; the best way to use it is to bring problems to the surface and see what you couldn’t understand. It helps with any form of divination, for example, tarot cards. This color is for focus. Likewise, it is a deep and above all mentally protective color. It is a fantastic flame for thinking and meditating. It is the color of wisdom and can help you to unravel mysteries. Pink candle flame I have an idea that I am interested in trying; I want to make a candle that burns with a colored flame (hopefully multiple candles which produce multiple colors). In the year 2000, experiments by NASA confirmed that gravity plays an indirect role in flame formation and composition. [14] The common distribution of a flame under normal gravity conditions depends on convection, as soot tends to rise to the top of a flame (such as in a candle in normal gravity conditions), making it yellow. In microgravity or zero gravity environment, such as in orbit, natural convection no longer occurs and the flame becomes spherical, with a tendency to become bluer and more efficient. There are several possible explanations for this difference, of which the most likely is the hypothesis that the temperature is sufficiently evenly distributed that soot is not formed and complete combustion occurs. [15] Experiments by NASA reveal that diffusion flames in microgravity allow more soot to be completely oxidized after they are produced than do diffusion flames on Earth, because of a series of mechanisms that behave differently in microgravity when compared to normal gravity conditions. [16] These discoveries have potential applications in applied science and private industry, especially concerning fuel efficiency. The color of a candle is an important attribute for those who seek deeper divine or spiritual meanings from candles, whether they are lit or unlit. Various colors reflect different energy forces, and those who practice lampadomancy become thoroughly versed in how different colors possess, store, and emit different variations of energy.

Candle Flame Reading Different flame types of a Bunsen burner depend on oxygen supply. On the left a rich fuel with no premixed oxygen produces a yellow sooty diffusion flame; on the right a lean fully oxygen premixed flame produces no soot and the flame color is produced by molecular radicals, especially CH and C2 band emission.A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire. It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction taking place in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density they are then considered plasma. [ vague] [2] Mechanism [ edit ] Zones in a candle flame There are different methods of distributing the required components of combustion to a flame. In a diffusion flame, oxygen and fuel diffuse into each other; the flame occurs where they meet. In a premixed flame, the oxygen and fuel are premixed beforehand, which results in a different type of flame. Candle flames (a diffusion flame) operate through evaporation of the fuel which rises in a laminar flow of hot gas which then mixes with surrounding oxygen and combusts. Those who are just beginning to practice candle magic may wonder if they should select a particular type of candle. Some believe that any type of brand of candle will suffice. Most, however, believe that practitioners should refrain from using scented and decorative candles. The brown color is used in healing spells and works best if you use it in conjunction with spells where you also use herbs or wood. It is a color of great strength and stability; it can be used to bring these characteristics into a home, at work, or with the family.
