When a battery's terminals touch steel wool, the electrical current rapidly heats the wire; causing the iron to react with surrounding oxygen, sparking a chain reaction that creates iron oxide, which is heavier than the original wool.

This is something not a lot of folks know. Static from running wool batting can build up to dangerously high levels. Instead of spraying an anti-static agent (chemical) on the wool which is done commonly in the wool industry, we have an anti-static bar that creates an ionized field of positive and negative ions, which in effect neutralize the static charge when the wool passes over it. It is also grounded 8 feet deep in the earth.

The 'Iron' That Is Added To Cereals To Make Them 'Fortified With Iron' Is Actually Metallic Iron Filings. Elemental Iron Powder Is Added To Cereals Because It Is Cheap & Shelf Stable. These Metal Shavings Are Highly Toxic & Not The Form Of Iron That Humans Absorb & Require. Derived from iron ore, elemental iron powders are economical for producers & do not disturb the flavor or storage properties of the products to which they're added. But the same traits that make them less reactive with foods also decreases their nutritional bioavailability. Absorption rate of elemental iron powder is only 2%. Our bodies cannot absorb or convert these metal shavings into bioavailable iron. Most cereals & grains are fortified with metallic iron powder, specifically, electrolytic iron. Evidence & research shows that electrolytic iron powder used to fortify cereals & grains is of low to no bioavailability. (Fomon, 1987; Hurrell, 1984; Hurrell et al., 1989). A similar conclusion was reached by Hallberg et al. (1986) for another metallic iron powder with similar solubility. These metal filings are the same iron threads in steel wool scrub brushes. Elemental iron, combined with steel, are what nails, rebar & automobiles are made from. These are all obviously non-heme iron sources. Our bodies require heme iron, which is bioavailable iron in animal sourced foods bound to a hemoglobin molecule. Heme Iron is an essential mineral & plays a vital role in the body. It’s used to make red blood cells, which carry oxygen around the body, it is crucial for normal cognitive function, normal energy metabolism & the normal formation of red blood cells. The brain requires bioavailable iron. Heme Iron is involved in many fundamental biological processes in the brain including oxygen transportation, DNA synthesis, mitochondrial respiration, myelin synthesis & neurotransmitter synthesis and metabolism. Elemental Iron filings & powders result in side effects. Indigestion, stomach upset, flatulence, GI distress, metallic taste, teeth staining, nausea, vomiting, epigastric distress, constipation & diarrhea are common complaints from elemental iron fortified foods. 👇Fortified Iron Added To Foods👇 👇Elemental Iron Powder In Breakfast Cereal👇 👇Iron Powder Low Bioavailability👇 Speaker: Dr William Davis, MD Cardiologist Video: WR

Zimbabwe's $1,5bn Manhize steel plant, Dinson Iron & Steel Company Zimbabwe (Disco), successfully started pig iron production yesterday. Pig iron, also known as crude iron, is an intermediate product used in the production of steel, which is developed by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace.

Watch how Graphene Oxide reacts to a phone call. Every human being in the world has magnetite (magnetic minerals) in our brains which is a mineral composed of iron oxide that is naturally magnetic. Now imagine what's going to happen once the 5G is fully activated. Black Goo = Graphene Oxide

Physics is fun. High-frequency alternating current passing through a coil, which creates the electromagnetic field that heats the metal workpiece placed inside or near it.

Iron carbon oxide (graphene), perhaps. The truth is that it is everywhere and reacts in this way when in contact with some magnetic force.

This setup demonstrates electromagnetic principles . A basic electricity demonstration can be created by wrapping copper wire around iron nails to form coils and placing them near or inside copper pipes. When the coils are moved or connected to a changing magnetic field or an external motion source, a small electrical current can be induced in the wire.

That moment when a "ladle" of molten pig iron (still full of fossil carbon atoms from the coal) is poured into the converter to be mixed with scrap iron, ready to be converted into liquid steel. 🔥😍 At ArcelorMittal Belgium yesterday. It was a blast!

THERMOBARIC WEAPONS A thermobaric charge is a type of explosive that uses oxygen from the surrounding air. The use of warheads with such a charge creates an explosive wave that lasts significantly longer than conventional condensed explosives. 👇

$BREAKING: Israel reportedly will unveil a new defense technology called "Iron Beam", which was not slated to enter service for years. Iron Beam is a breakthrough technology that enables the country to use a laser beam to shoot down hostile projectiles at a fraction of the cost of the Iron Dome. It literally costs about $3 per shot rather than hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Iron Beam is a directed-energy weapon air defense system that has been designed to destroy short-range rockets, artillery, and mortar bombs. Below you will see the capabilities of what the Iron Beam can do. Is this the future of defense?$

A scene from F.W. Murnau’s masterpiece Faust (1926), where the demon Mephisto takes Faust on a flying tour of the world. To fake this in the 1920s, the crew built a hidden iron platform in the studio to hold the actors, using massive fans to blow their capes and billowing glass wool to create the surrounding clouds. They then used double exposure to layer the actors over a moving, miniature model city, making it look like they were actually soaring over the mountains and rooftops.
