it's actually not the flint that sparks--its the steel (or iron) that the flint is struck against. remember the beginning of the video, when iron is said to be one of the sparking elements?

@Dante396 It's a book called "The Strange Story of False Hair" by John Woodforde, I'll have you know!
And it's a woman on the cover...

If you have one of those cerium rods, what I find most effective is to carefully scrape the rod over tissue paper or silver birch bark WITHOUT making it spark. After collecting a small pile of cerium dust scrape it again WITH sparks. Hey presto! Fire!
If you scrape it with sparks you end up burning up all the dust before you manage to collect enough to ignite your paper/bark.
I used to use one all the time and it wasn't much more effort than using matches.

@Zachdudeio2 uh huh...right. Go watch Iron Man 2 and you'll know what I mean.

This nearly turned into a video about hair burning.
I wonder if the Prof would have told us what is happening if his hair did catch fire?? :)
