Red Hot Nickel Ball on Floral Foam

YouTube member carsandwater has another mission for his beloved nickel ball. He had a request to see what a red-hot ball of nickel will do to that foam that florists use to hold flower arrangements. Now, we are used to seeing the nickel ball tear through materials as the heat melts them, but this is different. Weirdly different. It doesn’t so much melt the foam as it …”effects” it. Now I wonder what kind of weird chemistry went into creating that magical material. (via Boing Boing)
