Does alkali metals burned at very low temperature in air?

AI Thread Summary
Alkali metals, including rubidium, can ignite spontaneously in air, particularly when in powdered form or as small pieces. The discussion raises questions about the conditions under which rubidium ignites, specifically whether it applies to both its powder and solid forms. Participants encourage sharing sources for further clarification on this topic. There is a focus on understanding the specific circumstances that lead to ignition. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for more detailed information regarding the combustion properties of rubidium in different physical states.

hi taregg

what have you done so far to find an answer ?

if you have done some searching, what there something specific in answers given that you didn't understand ?

Thread 'Thermo Hydrodynamic Effect'

Vídeo: The footage was filmed in real time. The rotor takes advantage of the thermal agitation of the water. The agitation is uniform, so the resultant is zero. When the aluminum cylinders containing frozen water are immersed in the water, about 30% of their surface is in contact with the water, and the rest is thermally insulated by styrofoam. This creates an imbalance in the agitation: the cold side of the water "shrinks," so that the hot side pushes the cylinders toward the cold...
