It's not only cool, it's really brave and smart and beautiful, and a great friend.
Magnesium & Titanium burn extremely hot.
So hot that if you put water (H20) on them, you make an explosive. H by itself is explosive, 02 by itself is super explosive. The burn is so hot it seperates the two.
But both transfer heat in a super quick manner. So its the dust or chips like mentioned before that are the flammable hazard. Those two also make up the "white" in fireworks.
much respect to those who can weld it.
