knowing what i know about air activated hand warmers, i know that the heat is caused by a chemical reaction between the oxygen and iron, i think. so my first question would be is this correct? i know the other ingredients in the hand warmer play a part to the chemical reaction as well, but i just need to know what produces the actual heat. then, if i am correct, would reducing the amount of iron (or whatever substance is producing the actual heat) in a hand warmer, reduce the amount of heat given off?
