Many years ago I worked on a natural gas pizza oven. The oven had electrodes that measured resistance of the flame. If too high, the oven assumed loss of flame and shut down. This was a safety feature.
My College General Physics text shows a flame distorted by the field from a nearby Van De Graaff Generator.
I can think of many potential applications of altering a flame, perhaps varying the flame spread in an internal combustion engine?
Any other real world applications you know of?
My assumption is different flames = different resistance values
Would an Oxy Acetylene flame be more conductive when rich on oxygen?, or when sooty from lack of oxygen?
Thanks for any input, Regards, John
