Steel burns super hot! What happens when you put burning steel wool under a jar in water? Will water get pushed in? Pushed out?

Steel burns super hot! What happens when you put burning steel wool under a jar in water? Will water get pushed in? Pushed out? How does that compare to what happens when Isopropyl alcohol reacts under a jar? Which creates the most extreme pressure environment? Watch this experiment and see how changing temperatures effect air density, pressure, and the behavior of water moving into or out of the jar.
