Thread: Sparking Fuse Wire

Hi folks,

Apologies if this is the wrong type of message to be posting here, but I'm looking for a material with a sparkly property.

I need to make a shape out of some kind of material (ideally wire, but will work with other forms) that, when I hold a candle under it, it sparks like a firework sparkler. And then, when the candle is removed, it stops sparking.

Is there a a cheap and easily available material that does this? At the moment I'm just short of detaching the heads of dozens of matches and sticking them on.

Any help would be appreciated,


Tony

Scratch that, I'm just going to use sparklers. Occam's Razor and all that.
