Why would anyone create 'robot sheep'? For steel wool?

That was strangely amusing. I'll remember not to keep 9V batteries alongside steel wool from now on.

Don't Brillo pads also have some sort of cleaning chemical coating on them?


I don't know about brillo pads itself, but this can be done with pure steel wool you can buy fron a hardware store (I have done this lots of times when teaching a science class) =)

Ahh you talked about nipples, my virgin ears are bleeding now I must wash with steel wool before castrating myself

Adding acid to bleach gets you chlorine gas, a chemical weapon. You don't want that inside your house. Hydrogen Peroxide is much safer for oxidizing steel wool.

You can also make iron oxide by soaking some steel wool in a solution of bleach and vinegar. once it's disintegrated, strain the water through a coffee filter and let the remaining red stuff dry out. da nah.

If you google thermite, there're some pretty creative ways to make iron oxide.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

That's pretty impressive. I didn't know that steel wool would combust.
