Great BUBBLES of Fire!

Summary

Nate from the internet teams up with Hacksmith to demonstrate a fun experiment creating 'fire bubbles' using water, dish soap, and butane. They mix the soap and butane to generate flammable bubbles, which they ignite with a lighter. The experiment produces exciting results, with the bubbles catching fire dramatically and even surprising a nearby dog. While the process is fascinating, there is a humorous moment when Nate slightly burns the hair on his hand, but no major mishaps occur. It's an entertaining, science-meets-fun demonstration with a fiery twist.
