Abstract

Abstract results are given for the fire ignition tendency of a selection of naturally occurring fuels exposed to incandescent copper droplets, the size of which was controlled by allowing electrically produced droplets to fall onto stainless steel meshes of various sizes. Particle breakup created a population distribution that was characterised by the mesh size. Particles created in this way were allowed to fall onto fuel beds of barley grass, beds of samples collected from a hardwood forest floor and beds of naturally occurring cotton lint. For molten copper droplets the minimum particle size to create fire ignition was found to be little over 1mm diameter.
