Fun with wire wool

Ingredients for a fun evening project - an open space with no flamable materials in close proximity, wire wool, a metal hand whisker, rope attached to the handle of the whisker, a 9 volt battery, protective clothing and hat, a camera on firework settings, a 16 year old to swing the flaming whisk ... do try this at home !











Thanks to Harry and Nick for bringing this into our lives - what did we do for fun before we learnt how to ignite wire wool with a 9 volt battery ?

  1. As a confirmed firework enthusiast and (some would say) pyromaniac, I HAVE to try this. Ooooooh!

  2. All good stuff, a group of us have had a few goes at this, the last lost the other month in an underground bunker - maximum spark bounce,
