You blow pure oxygen on it or supply it with pure oxygen. It gets white hot to the point that it will blind you.
What substances burn faster in oxygen?
Any substance that burns in air is likely to burn faster in pure oxygen, if all other conditions are equal.
What do your lungs fuel your bodies with?
Lungs provide the body with oxygen. Oxygen is not exactly a fuel, but oxygen is necessary in order to burn fuel. Fuel for the body comes in the form of food, and oxygen is necessary to metabolize the food.

Is pure oxygen explosive?
No. Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it is necessary for fire. Fire is a chemical reaction between oxygen and a flammable substance. Fire is possible on Earth because ordinary air is 21% oxygen. Pure oxygen is considered a fire hazard because higher concentrations of oxygen will make it easier for a fire to ignite and will allow it to burn hotter and faster than normal.
Does pure oxygen make things burn faster?
In general, no, it accelerates / increases fires. If the fire is based on methane, say, and the oxygen displaces all the methane, then the fire will go out. If the oxygen is passed through / across the fire at something approaching supersonic speed, if the fire doesn't go out, it *will* go somewhere else.
Why doesn't oxygen in an oxyacetylene torch burn without the acetylene yet medical oxygen is explosive?
Oxygen is not actually explosive. In an acetylene torch, the torch burns the acetylene and the oxygen only facilitates combustion, so it is not burning the oxygen. Hospitals warn of the explosion hazard of oxygen because pure oxygen accelerates the burn of fuel so fast that it is like an explosion. In common air there is roughly 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, all fuels must have oxygen to burn and when pure oxygen is introduced the fire then has more oxygen thus it accelerates the fire.
Can gold burn?
Pure gold is a noble metal and does not combine readily with anything. It is inert in an oxygen atmosphere and will not burn.
