Now I can melt tungsten at home!

Is this the same flame that if you touch it to your hand it won't burn you?? Sigh...

Is this the same flame that if you touch it to your hand it won't burn you??

The video claims that very thing. So let me ask you this:

1) If the flame "registers 259 degF" how can it be warm to the touch?
2) When they put the flame on the tip of the thermometer, why did the thermometer not melt?
3) How does this "warm" flame know to raise its temperature to that of melting steel, but then to remain warm when applied to skin?
