Re: Is Cornstarch Firebreathing MOOPy?
No combination; just pure cornstarch. When you breathe it out/airate it, it can be ignited. But when it's not spread out in a cloud, it's not flammable, which protects you from danger if the flame travels back to your mouth while breathing. No chemical pneumonia risk. No toxic fuels getting absorbed...

We're going to be using a generator to power this, so I spliced the wires to worth with a 12v 1800mAH AC Adapter. However, I've run into a few hiccups: 1) Using the measurements for the cooling pad li...
