Energy stored in food!

Posted by Mr Mallon on March 5, 2009

In our class we are beginning to study biotechnology. To start off our topic we all witnessed the amount of energy stored in a few spatulas of custard powder.
To release the stored energy I lit a candle and placed it into the can. I blew through a small pipe which led into the can. This caused the custard powder to rise into a fine powder. The lit candle then provided the initial energy to release the stored energy.
Check out the video and look at that flash of light.
