leather products

I think the ignition source with leather is a mix of the high surface
area and permeability of the leather, helped along by catalytic
behavior of the leather, often from metal ions from the tanning
process. I suspect the chicken by itself in a clean glass beaker would
be far less dramatic. Not something you'd want your hand to do, mind
you, just not as dramatic as the boot.

I have little exposure to peroxide work but I'll always remember an
(accidental) high altitude peroxide spray at a flight test facility which
caused little painful white specks on people who didn't get under cover and
some 2x4s in a pick up truck to spontaneously catch fire half an hour later.
That's my little peroxide story.

Is the old Armadillo video still out there somewhere? Does anyone have
a copy they could share?
Thanks!

There was one of these videos from Armadillo back in the day, but nice
to see it done again at FAR. This demo takes a "more is better"
approach, no pipette here.

Though the chicken drumstick that gets ejected seems superfluous. Meat
just bleaches in peroxide, it's not very reactive.
