"Burning" means oxidizing. You can't oxidize oxygen. The hydrogen is what is burning in this experiment. It needs oxygen to burn, therefore it only burns in the area of the oxygen coming from the nozzle, which has the appearance therefore of the oxygen burning.
My thoughts exactly. Hydrogen deflagration where the mixture in of O2 and H2 are made. This is why it was important to actuate the ignitor before the O2 was flowed. Interesting experiment, but extremely dangerous if poorly timed.
What happen if the spark touches the edge of the hydrogen container ,
will it bang???
It can be the other way around too.. it can be hydrogen gas coming out of the pipe. And it can be oxygen in the tube.
interesting
Why didn't the flame act as catalysts and create water in the hydrogen chamber?
It did, the water is in the form of water vapor and is in such a small amount you can't see it.
@@kaelandin Thank you! That's what I figured after I asked the question, but I wasn't sure 😊
There is water. It's in the form of water vapour..
