In these demonstrations, we show the danger posed when fire comes in contact with an oxygen-rich environment. We start with a cigarette, showing how quickly it burns when oxygen is near. Then, we show cloth, and what would happen if your clothes were soaked in oxygen and then introduced to a flame. Then we create a pipe-cleaner man, put him in an oxygen-rich environment, and introduce a lit cigarette. We hope these demonstrations give you a good sense of the dangers of oxygen.
