It’s so surprisingly fantastic and magical that I’m going to go buy steel wool and light it on fire right now. It’s like having front row seats to an intergalactic light show. [Boing Boing]

We used to get a length of electrical cable with exposed wires tied into steel wool. The other end had a 9v battery with a rudimentary switch attached.
Next was to swing the wire in an arc or pattern whilst pressing down on the switch. Instant fire trail, and things on fire.
