Micron thick steel wool in a microwave

#shorts

[@terryenby2304]

Does the steel wool feel soft at that thickness? Or is it still kinda wiry and hard?

[@distantsalutations9120]

Love the watermark. Not Steve Mould, just STEVE

[@GuzmanTierno]

Hey Slow Mo Guys ... there'rs some stuff for you here!

[@evandraperdigital]

Wow, so cool! I’m gonna try this with a dozen forks

[@beefchicken]

If you touch a 9V battery to regular fine steel wool it does the same thing.

[@mpcrazyscience7097]

In my experience, stuff like metal bowls and other items without sharp edges are completely fine to put in a microwave

[@haluke101]

Almost like galaxies space. 🫨

[@leecrawford6560]

it's like something out of science fiction So beautiful 😍

[@ezhilselvan7061]

Put the steel wool in a vaccum an place inside the microwave oven and observe the result

[@csn583]

Woh that's pretty. I've never harmed myself or the microwave overall, but you can definitely shatter the glass turntable plate when creating superheated plasmas with metal... Even Pyrex has its limits.

[@benningtonlocal9704]

It's beautiful

[@sleepydrJ]

Where did you get it?? I’d love to blend it with wool and spin into a yarn!!

[@thenateman27]

So, does it leave a fine powder in the microwave? And if so, what is it exactly? Iron oxide? 🤔

[@elmothewise3915]

yes just iron oxide is left, and since theres more oxygen atoms in the wool after burning it usually will weigh more after letting it burn

It’s going to Valhalla

Where do you get micron thick steel wool?

[@twitterer]

Can we see the same in Ultraslowmo?

[@EebstertheGreat]

Where do you buy such ultra-thin steel wool? The finest I can find is 25 microns, which is like a very fine hair. 1 micron is thinner than a spider web.

[@terryenby2304]

Wow!

[@Adowrath]

Is it still one solid piece after it, or does it break apart either into pieces or a dusty kind of substance? I'm wondering.

[@romanski5811]

No, *you* are beautiful!

[@stephen_boss]

Why does it burn up?

[@1000ksw]

Is this the same as lighting it with a battery?

[@iDard3n]

Same if you light it on fire

[@cslloyd1]

Are we seeing individual photons?

[@thelogician3845]

No those are heated pieces of iron oxide

[@geoffdparsons]

did it vaporize or what?

[@JWQweqOPDH]

I think it burnt (like rusting but faster).

[@shirelle5446]

You're beautiful. 😉
