Fire of a Night Fury?

[HellstormOP]

Another interesting snapshot from a clip on YouTube:


Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Looks like a Night Fury donated some of its fire mass to a few bored guys which then placed the stuff on the ground and set it on fire at night? Actually, you get that effect when you dissolve styrofoam in way too much acetone, then pour everything including the excess acetone at the ground and light it. Note the ring of blue fire which is spreading from the ignition spot, I think it consists of vaporized acetone (acetone is extremely volatile), a few seconds are enough to let vaporize enough acetone for this effect. The styrofoam only increases the time it burns.

Maybe this would be the explanation why you can see an indigo-colored ring of fire when Toothless attacks the command towers, while you can only see a much smaller, light-blue ring of fire when Toothless blasts the ground, and later lets a blast explode in the air to fly through. I think the indigo acetone vapor flame is just not bright enough to be visible at daylight.

EDIT: Replaced the picture with a lower resolution one, original was way too big.

Can you post the video?

Hey and do you think that maybe comparing a photo from the movie with those screen shots might help a bit? If you want I can post a few.

And yes, please post screenshots, especially of the end fight with the Red Death, I remember that at one scene there you could see one of Toothless' fireballs flying. But also please post screenshots of the explosions.

No problem, I'll post them later though since right now I'm getting ready for school and I don't have time.

[toothless11]

I got them ready but I need my computer to upload them, I might do it later.

Ok so here's the part where Toothless shoots the watch tower and where Hiccup is about to shoot the bolas to him. At the third picture, the ring that forms around looks a lot like the one in the most recent pic you uploaded:





And this is the part where Toothless is trapped in the cove when Hiccup finds him:




Next is the part where Toothless attacks the Red/Green death (or whatever it's really called):





Those are all the pics I took for now, if you need more than tell me.

Thanks for the pics, maybe also upload the scene where you can clearly see the flying fireball from Toothless to the Red Death (there are 2 such scenes in the final fight, one comes close after the other).
BTW: Dreamworks still didn't respond.

UPDATE: In a German chemists' forum (I'm German, so I can understand it) I've read that acetylene explodes when it is compressed and gets heated, the energy unleashed is similar to nitroglycerine (!!!!!!!)
This could be the explanation for the powerful blast wave you can see in the movie, maybe Night Furies can build up so much pressure in their fire breathing organs (maybe their lungs help doing this, at least they are probably big and powerful to supply enough oxygen for the amazing flight maneuvers) that enough acetylene gets into the semi-solid mass to cause such an explosion on impact. But why on impact, and not on ignition (already in their mouths)?

Awesome! And epic pics toothless11

[HellstormOP]

toothless11: Could you please upload more of the screenshots, I already told in a previous post which are still missing.

EDIT: Please also add the pics where the yellow, sooty fireball from the explosion is rising.

[toothless11]

I'll possibly try tommorow, I already took them but I havn't uploaded them to a page to post them here.

So, what's with the pics now?
Another interesting spot is where Hiccup rides Toothless and Toothless spits a small blast in ther air to fly through. You can perfectly see there how the fireball comes from Toothless' muzzle. A screenshot from there would be nice.

[toothless11]

I'll take a pic of that part then, and sorry I won't be able to upload them today, I arrived to late to my house and I don't have time. I hope tommorow. Sorry .

This good?

[HellstormOP]

Yes, but quite poor quality...
