The video explores five unconventional methods to extinguish a candle. It begins with using a copper coil to remove heat and oxygen, followed by demonstrating airflow dynamics with rounded objects. The video then shows how carbon dioxide from dry ice and a baking soda-vinegar reaction can put out a flame. Finally, it features an experiment with liquid nitrogen, highlighting its cooling effect and density. Each method is explained with scientific principles, emphasizing heat, oxygen, and airflow's roles in sustaining a flame.
