This is great experiment. Personally I thought it deserved to win the BIG event demo competition.

what you may not know about the Oranges skin is the fact that if you peel it and leave it to dry very hard to the point of been crisp it almost BURSTS into a mini fireball of doom.!
No am not pulling your leg, my grandad told me this odd little trick about starting log or coal fires in WW2, its a very good firestarter for subborn fires which will not light up.
Note if you try this at home be careful as it will suddenly burn up without warning once a flames touch comes into contact.
If you wish to try it you must air dry the skin until its super rock hard.
