0.005 wire
Update: First of all it is platinum. Several tests we made in a lab shows it is pure platinum. So far no success with the ignition. But I don't give up. I have still some ideas to try. I...

Thanks!
Dan, the wire is in the lab now for the tests for platinum. When I'll get to it, I will continue and report. Yes I got it why you made a hole. Congrats on your success with the geek stove!

Heating the wire
In order to check if that wire is really platinum: 0) weigh it in a lab (I can do it) 1) connect the wire to electricity (low voltage - battery?) and try to do the reaction again. 2) put one end...

Thicker wire
Guys, After some math, I concluded that in order to make same ratio of external wire area to its mass for 0.005 wire, you must flatten it by factor of 2 (2.2 more precisely). In this case you w...
