As cool as Bill Nye is, the real reason he's on these shows isn't because he's knowledgeable about the subject, but because he's a well known scientist.

He means the flame is sustained because hot co2 floats away and is replaced by o2 to keep the fire burning. A big enough explosion will divert enough o2 to put out the fire.

sure

mouse over your fan, hold shift, then click it and drag to choose velocity/direction

you can use shift click to make lines of material, ctrl click to make blocks. scroll wheel lets you select your mouse's size, and finally hold S then drag to select an area to save (K to load)
