A small heap of wet magnesium powder, when strongly heated, burns very brilliantly in air, better than with dry magnesium.

  • @Hayonaise I'm sure that lighting it won't be necessary.

  • where can i buy this at 200+ mesh?

  • I got a coal mouse from my grandpa that had a small amount of magnesium in yesterday. I lit the our stove with it today and let's just say this: the magnesium did its job, if not overdid it. Couldn't even open the stove door. Too hot and smoky.

  • if looked into directly, this stuff could blind u

  • i dont think so.. but just ad a few drops of water to the powder when its on fire.. but dont do it inside.. it makes some crazy 2500 C how sparks that will last for about... 2 seconds or so which gives a huge chanc of putting your house on fire

  • We burnt Magnesium a few times in my science class last year. Its amazing stuff

  • can i put magnesium powder in water, and then light it?

  • No, just hydrogen gas

  • because mg splits water into highly flammable hh0 gas

  • Sweet vid', burning Mg is crazy when you dump it in water! 5*
