The fourth in our series of demonstration videos is the ‘Cannon fire’ experiment which can be used to demonstrate oxidation.

This impressive demonstration produces loud, crackling bursts of flame which resemble the sound of cannon fire.

Please ensure you undertake a full risk assessment before performing this demonstration and that it meets your institutions health and safety requirements. We also recommend you consult CLEAPSS or SERC.
