How can a super cold block of iron start a fire? We're talking Really cold
[spoiler] if you guys want, i can place the answer at some later time if i remember[/spoiler]
Guys the dang cubes just like sitting there in your house, come on

Just ask it nicely

Super cold? Zero degrees or 250 degrees below zero? How big a cube? A really big cube that's 250 below zero would make you run to your fireplace and start a fire so you don't freeze.

What you will need is sufficient oxygen and/or oxygen in the air paired with certain elements in order to create fire or ignition. For instance powdered oxidized iron and aluminium when combined with a high flashpoint source and sufficient oxygen can burn as thermite. Alternatively, Iron/Steel when struck against Magnesium with sufficient Oxygen can create sparks capable of starting a campfire. Using Chemistry knowledge and Physics in action can create the desired experimental result.

I mean this is a very rudimentary idea, but if it’s a metal then technically it should spark through friction whether it’s warm or cold?
-
It can still make sparks regardless of temp

By pouring gasoline on it and dropping it into a volcano with a bunch of dynamite 🧨

The process of Rusting is very similar to burning, with the oxidation of the material similar to the chemical process within a fire. Essentially Rust is the Ash of Iron.

I don't know the answer and I don't want to look it up. But I will hazard a guess so you'll tell me the answer. By moving it quickly into room temperature?

If the material is flammable

Through friction?
