Firewalking feat

(Photograph) - Southampton University students have been exercising mind over matter to walk on burning coals. Former Southampton lecturer Robin Allen returned to the university to lecture students on the physics of heat conduction. This was followed by a firewalking spectacular where 100 students put their knowledge of physics into practice. With fire extinguishers and wet towels at the ready, few students had cold feet when it came to putting theory into practice. Photograph by News Team.
