I think the earliest reference to Smellovision™ is in a cartoon from either Wireless World or Practical Electronics from the 30's or 40's. I saw it in an old issue my Grandfather had kept.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision
Smell-O-Vision was a system that released odor during the projection of a film so that the viewer could "smell" what was happening in the movie. The technique was created by Hans Laube and made its only appearance in the 1960 film Scent of Mystery, produced by Mike Todd, Jr., son of film producer Mike Todd.

If it gets beyond hair burning and howling at the moon... I suggest we start a dumpster fire to keep us warm.

Now I wonder what that smells like. Can someone set some hail on fire please?
I actually have been in a room where someone accidentally set their hair on fire with a candle. Its not a good smell, even though only a little bit of it was burned. Happy Tuesday everyone!

But I was asking about setting hail on fire, not hair. :)

Hmmm - setting fire to water......... yes it is possible, but one really has to try hard and be very careful as it involves very high pressures, weird catalysts and liquid oxygen.

(And if done right you end up with HTP which is used as the oxidizer in some rocket motors - you have been warned)

However setting hail onto fire is very different task - get a wind machine, a load of finely crushed ice and a BIG fire. Point the wind machine at the fire and turn it on then throw the crushed ice into the downstream side of the wind machine and watch the fun :-)
Sometime located elsewhere in the (un)known Universe
But most often found somewhere near the middle of the UK

Perhaps if the hail formed from acid rain?

With all of this burning hair polluting the atmosphere, that may not be much longer.

Dusts off the thread, the floor and the general manager. It's gonna happen again soon! Make ready for the influx of moon burners and hail wailers.
