Have you ever heard of the steel wool [linked by editor to product info at Rockler] test? A web site that would really help you understand is http://www.spartechsoftware.com/reeko/Experiments/ExpSteelWoolGeneratingHeat.htm I used this web site for my science fair project 2 weeks ago. Hope this helps. If it has please email me back. Bye
