Eli5: Why blowing make campfire go bigger but blowing candle make fire disappear?
In: 0
On the camp fire, you are not blowing hard enough.
If I remember my firefighter training well enough, we were told of expensive systems that use air pressure to put out small fires. It’s also plausible for me that you could put out fires with something like a jet engine.
But as these systems are expensive, they are less wide spread – even for firefighters – than the good old water pump, hoses and nozzles.
