The Powder Toy

Air != Pressure

    For example if you drop a bit of dust it makes pressure and air! Which is pretty much weird.
    Same for Fire it creates both Air and Pressure, Fire never makes Pressure.
    I am aware that The Powder Toy doesn't want it realistic but this weird behaviour is just weird

    fire heats air, it expands, there is no place to expand, so pressure grows

    Yes that is correct that fire heats up air and sucks up air and such, but that doesn't mean it would create pressure

    it WOULD create pressure as its burning/moving/heating air creating both positive pressure ( heating ) and negative pessure ( burning up the air)


    think of a giant fireball, it creates quite a lot of pressure

    And a lighter fire?

    I don't really understand what this means...
    Pressure and Airflow are equal...
    Edit: Example, a vacuum cleaner in reverse sucks up the air which builds pressure. When the pressure is release the air travels along with it.
