Flasks, lasers and fire: See an interesting light show in series

The video you just watched above, posted on YouTube via WorldScott.com, doesn't just show a series of bottles on fire: the movie features 10 bottles igniting with a Krypton laser! Yeah, it sounds like Superman, doesn't it? But it's actually a lot simpler - and we don't recommend that you try it at home .

To create the effect of the clip, 10 row-glass bottles of flash paper were used - a special kind of paper covered with a highly flammable compound and often used in magic shows - wrapped around the mouths of the bottles to act as Wicks

The laser used to light the papers was a 100 mW Krypton Spyder III, one of the most powerful available on the market and virtually a lightsaber. Most interesting is the way the bottles light up, and the kind of whistle produced by the fire while the flames quickly consume the paper.
