    Yes. Steel is >99% Fe by volume.

    Steel collides with other steel. So much friction is created at the impact site that the metal there heats up past the melting point of steel, and it is flung away with the kinetic energy imparted to it and stored heat energy, wherein it flies off as a spherical droplet that quickly dissipates heat in air <100 F, leaving a rapidly cooled particle that is still midflight and spherical.

    Not understanding what is happening. It's an oxide layer not the Iron melting igniting the sparks. It is caused by the friction steel hitting steel. The oxygen- oxidized steel and heated caused the sparks.

    Steel is an alloy and your ratios are way off the content of Iron.
    Elemental Iron and Steel are not the same.

    Your video does not play.
    You have provided no explanation for the molten Iron spheres found in the dust.
    You can not make Fe spheres from Steel- its alloy mixed with other elements listed on the chemistry table ( it be steel microspheres)
    Oxide layer would be Iron oxide.

    That's why I'm explaining it to you.

    No, there is no oxidation on the steel. Swords are polished to keep their surface from oxidizing and sharpened regularly. Additionally, as you can see in the 960 FPS video, even when cutting past the oxidation layer of bulk iron/steel, sparks are still produced in equal measure.
    The oxygen- oxidized steel and heated caused the sparks.

    No. Oxidation of steel does not heat the steel to the point where it creates sparks. Try this simple experiment: get a piece of steel. Observe it in a dark room. Are there sparks? No. Because oxygen reacting with steel does not cause this to happen.

    Not way off at all. Depends on what grade of steel, their composition is industrially controlled. For example structural 460 steel is *minimum* 97.755% Fe.

    .
    Reminder: You have not explained the absense of aluminium oxide. You'd dodged and ignored the question.

    You have not addressed the fact the RJ Lee study shows that neither byproduct of thermite reactions were present.

    You have not actually explained what you believe sparks are.

    I have, in fact, provided an explanation. You just don't like it.

    What is your explanation, and where are the other missing ingredients of your explanation, such as aluminum sulfide, aluminum oxide or some other proposed chemical reaction?

    As I said, the steel is not oxidized. The swords are polished. In the case of structural steel 460 it is >97% Fe by composition.

    Since you don't believe my version. I looked it up online now.
    A science debate online, And this poster revealed what does occur- metals hit metal- steel hits steel-and iron hits iron.

    steel is not pure Iron. It is impossible to pull the Iron from the grains to make molten Iron. Steel mixed in with other elements (impure) (therefore not elemental Iron)

    Your two friends on video are outside in the air playing sword fights (oxygen everywhere:)

    And the swords are polished, their surfaces are protected from oxidizing.

    This still doesn't explain away all the sparks in the 960 fps video.

    No.

    Strange the video plays fine here for me.
    I've tried it via Ireland and multiple other locations on my VPN and it plays fine.

    Could be geo-blocked for you maybe?

    Just happened today. Look at those sparks fly

    edit: no spoilers I'm watching this.

    edit 2 do you see this google maps overlay the helicopter has? 2020.

    The name of the street along the road- shows up on the overlay, handy :D

    Its brilliant. Wait until its tied into weather data etc.

    Lets see.
    Mick West believes he saw Iron Fe Microspheres after this test.
    Laughable test
    Sparks were hitting the paper everywhere and this black residue neatly formed a square at the top of the page:D
    There's no pure Iron spheres after this test.
    I can show you what pure spheres of Iron look like- but i let you comment first.

    Is that why you think the test is laughable?

    He placed a ferromagnet under the sheet of paper. A square magnet. That is what was clamped.

    Are you sure about that? It looks like to me he just clamped a piece of paper to a piece of wood?

    In the thread he says he used a magnet when doing this test. Not the one in the video. You can see the yellow paper to his left side.

    Why would it be purple and have a yellow tint?
    Pure Iron Fe spheres are Grey/dark.

    I'm absolutely positive.

    And even later post shows him using a much larger magnet to trap sparks.

    You not notice the dimensions of this magnet and color and how big is there in the last picture.

    Watch the video again look at the color of the piece under the paper. Mick picked it up like it had no weight to it.

    Cheerful. It was a magnet.

    He picked up the paper + magnet by the Clamp.
