How to start a Fire with Steel Wool and a Battery

This is a detailed guide to start a fire with Steel Wool and a battery. I don't think that any battery works, but just use a 9v because that's the only one that I know that works 100%.

Excuse the music lol the original song got deleted cause of copyright, but this one is pretty funny.

i did this in my science class, and are the odors harmful in any way to your nose, or eyes?

[leadpill13]

@Anonymous1276 Definitely harmful to inhale and can damage your sinuses, and can cause some eye irritation. It is not juts some regular wool, such as that used in socks or that can be used in sewing, but it's a treated industrial wool. Normally supposed to be used for hard scrubbing and such, when it melts it releases all of these chemicals as smoke. I'd keep my face away from it if I were you.

If you put a cicada in there, the wool+battery combination would only magnify its sound by 9000 times the normal noise, causing a mass disruption in telecommunications, possibly tearing a hole in the fabric of time, allowing future cicadas to come back from the future and take vengeance for their fellow past cicada on you.

I put a cicada in mine and it exploded and burnt me so bad!........ -_-

i tried it once, but i wasnt successful

perhaps it was because the battery had run out of charge or the wool was somehow wet

[poiiihy]

@biteofdog can you use a 1.5 volt battery and get a wire to make the - touch the wool?

And can you do it with 120 volts?

If you wrap a sausage in steel wool and burn it like this, would it get cooked or at least warmed up?

[HeavenBlue7]

Oh my gawd! I actually just put a cicada in the steel wool and lit it, the damn thing screamed so loud like a thousand jet engines or a bunch of girls at a Hannah Montana concert. I need to go to the ear doctor now!
