NightHawkInLight | How To Cut Steel With Electrolysis [Experiment In Progress] - NightHawkInLight @Nighthawkinlight | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 2 minutes ago
Cutting steel with electricity and water. I've been playing with how to this method for the past few weeks and am having some trouble, but I know it's possible.
Check out this video to see where I got my inspiration: youtu.be/jEnNMTMZadw
I tried this same method at one point a few years ago and had better results than I have so far been able to replicate in my latest experiments. Possible causes that I'm considering:
1. The metal etching paint formula has been changed
2. Paint requires a longer time to cure
3. Baking soda is not an acceptable replacement for salt (I used baking soda in these latest tests because it does not produce chlorine gas as NaCl does)
Let me know what you think in the comments below!

![How to Make a Fire Wire [Easy Steel Wool Fireworks]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/wdbCzYN95cg/hqdefault.jpg "How to Make a Fire Wire [Easy Steel Wool Fireworks]
This is an old trick done with fine steel wool to make a huge spiraling shower of sparks. Rapid oxidation of iron contained in the fine strands of steel is an exothermic reaction hot enough to provide the sparks. The process results in black iron oxide (Fe3O4) and red iron oxide (Fe2O3), which is more commonly known as rust. The carbon content found in steel adds to the brilliance of the sparks.
000 or 0000 grade steel wool works best. Any courser and it will not burn properly. If it is fluffed up before igniting it will not burn as long, but it will throw off much thicker sparks. The first two shots in the video show firewires with steel wool that has been fluffed up in this way.
Because these use no self contained oxidizing agents like most fireworks, these are probably legal in most areas - But this does not mean it is smart to use them anywhere. They throw off many hot sparks and should therefore not be used in dry environments. Glasses of some kind are also necessary to avoid any sparks getting in the eyes. A wide brimmed hat or a hood is not a bad idea either to avoid getting spots burned in your hair.")
