WHY DOES SMOKE FOLLOW YOU AROUND A FIRE
wikipedia.org
have you ever sat around a campfire then the smoke seems to just head your way
so
you move around to the other side then it moves back towards you
like
its got a mind of its own
or
it has something against you
or
its out to get you
there is a scientific explanation why
lets see if i can explain it
if you read this and still dont understand it
then read this nice article explaining the science behind this
basically when you sit down around a campfire you displace the airspace you are now occupying
there is sort of an air vacuum thats formed which pulls the smoke towards you
if for example you sit across the campfire from a group bunched together
the campfire smoke will head over towards them instead of you
try that at your next camp out to get back at your other campers
if you all sit equally spaced around the campfire it goes straight up
unless of course
there is a strong prevailing wind
again
if you dont understand how this all work then read the article
now
i just need to find a campfire somewhere to try this out
that sure explains how the smoke always got in my face when i went to toast marshmallows in the campfire
