Today, April 22, 2010, using wire and needle-nosed pliers, we created a gas jet unclogger and used it to remove a paper wad from an air jet.

It took 10 minutes to get the paper wad out, and then another 10 minutes to find where it flew off.

SCIENCE: I was able to create this useful tool because the metal of the wire was malleable (bendable and deformable).
