Watch the reaction that takes place between two very common household items…a steel wool pad, and a 9 volt battery!

The electrical current from the battery heats up the wire which then reacts with the oxygen surrounding the steel wool. This generates an initial spark that creates a chain reaction causing the entire pad to burn.

A combustive reaction…without a match, or lighter of some sort? Sounds like some great tools for a survival kit.
