Kathy Loves Physics & History | Recreating a wild 1700s experiment lighting fire with ones bare hand! @Kathy_Loves_Physics | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 3 hours ago
I actually light alcohol on FIRE with a spark from my bare hand while recreating an 1700s experiment from an "Electric Wizard" named Matthias Bose.
