Happy New Year
I know, it’s too soon. New Year is like, 4 days away from now, but it lands smack dead in the middle of my update schedule. So I either have the choice between an early New Year picture, or a late New Year picture. I don’t want to be too late, so here it is, an early New Year :p
Kai and Kaya are a bit too early with lighting the fireworks. You need to take proper distance kids, why else do you think that fuse is so long. You’re going to burn your tail, Kaya xD
Regular updates will resume next week.
I don’t know what the motor control and physiology is with firebreathing (I figured it out for the Anne McCaffrey Pern dragons but she did a lot of the homework herself on the chemistry, I just filled in the gaps)…
But how hazardous was it burping them when they were babies, or sneezing at any age?
they actualy said that in the tumbler. check it out
At an early age, some training was needed to let them control their fire breathing. Some draperies died in the proces. They quickly learned and have total control over their fire now, aside from some small flames when they suddenly sneeze.
Well, good thing that superabsorbent polymers were a thing when the twins were babies. It turns out if you take the stuff out from inside a diaper and combine it with enough water, the resulting gel can stop 2000ºF for about 8 hours or so. (I think. The commercial product for fire prevention goes under the trade name of thermo-gel. I just know that with 2000ºF or more in close contact, it can prevent ignition for several hours.) I ran across it looking for episodes of an old show on tech advances.
With a box cutter and a little physics know-how, it probably saved the Romeros’ home from disaster.
i always liked how they explained it in the flight of the dragons movie way back when
I remember a ‘Farside’ panel with young dragons “lighting their sneezes”. 🙂
Probably a pyroforic (ignigts on contact with air.) oil gland at the back of the throat or roof of the mouth, perhaps altered saliva, that could work. It’d need some practice not to burn themselves, they probably have an instinct to prevent them releasing oil without breathing out fast enough to provide cooling and send the reaction outside.
Or magic
Is this canon?
I mean can they actually exhale fire… in spite of being ostensibly just strangely shaped humans?
Who needs a match or a lighter when you have not one, but two fire breathing kids on you side?
Uh no on does
True!
When the lit fuse reaches the stars in the shell, they explode into the air in the designed shape. The heat from these explosions reacts with the chemicals mixed within each star, and we see the vivid colors and shapes of the fireworks in the nighttime sky. I guess dragon breath/fire works on these.
HAS ANYONE NOTICED THE FIREWORKS SAY FIRE DRAGON
arent they fireproof
