- marcosdumay 10y agoCan you have a flame without the fire? You certainly can have something very similar. Personally, I think those names are all confusing and ill-defined. Does "fire" imply in sustainability? Does it need to be combustion? Does it even have to be chemical?
- dnautics 10y agoYou can certainly have fires without flames. Particularly notorious is hydrogen, which burns cleanly with no flame (just heat ripples). This is one of the major challenges for hydrogen fueled vehicles:. First responders need to be aware that the combustion properties for a hydrogen vehicle are different and could be deceptively more dangerous than their trained instinct.
