Why does a coconut shell make sound when thrown into fire?
I always wondered why does a coconut shell make sound when thrown into fire? Be it in the houses where we use coconut shells as fuel to boil water and we get hot water to bath.
While in temples too, when performing homa, they offer dry coconut shells to fire. It will make sound as soon as it catches fire.
Wet coconut shells will not be used. Only the dry coconut shells. These shells are porous and because of this, gases are trapped in these . Hence when the shells are thrown to fire, the pressure inside the shell created because of gases, try to escape outside.
Hence, we hear a loud noise . The gases which are trapped inside the shell are responsible for this.
