It would appear that I’m working on another burning man project. Last night I drilled the first four holes of the first test to see how glass reacts to being on fire. The test went amazingly well, I was not attacked by red hot sharp shrapnel bits in the least!

I knew it’d look pretty, but oh man, it’s like a whole new thing! It’s so gorgeous.

Borosilicate for the win!

    That’s exactly the first thing that popped into my head too. That, and looking at the pictures I think either:

    1. From a distance, the glass would be invisible, so that the flames will just be floating in air.
    2. Or, the glass will reflect/refract the light, and so more of it will be visible, compared to using opaque pipes.
