A Little Thermite Explosion

[TheShadowedOne1995]

How much thermite did you put in there?

@TheShadowedOne1995 I can't quite remember, that was almost six years ago... I want to say it was about 300 grams...

so...tired..of...this...song..­..

[MoskowFreak1111]

I am making a smaller one :)

[DarkHero1989]

Did you use aluminium and iron oxide?

Its cool but the reaction wasent that powerfull. Ive seen a guy burn through a frying pan and a 1/2" steel plate.

But he used a redbull can maybe it was more concentrated that way.

I used fireworks grade 50 mesh aluminum powder and the iron oxide is probably where it went wrong. I don't know what kind it is, I think it was iron(II) oxide but it had been stored in a barrel for many years outside and rained on an contaminated with god know what... If I ever try it again I'll make sure its good pure iron(III) oxide.

I just bought some new thermite and il probably light it up next week. Il try to find some steel and a old frying pan and record it.

You can also find the video I mean in my channel i uploaded it on youtube and there are instructions included on how to make it. (not recorded by me)

@amethyst8teen try replacing aluminium oxide with titanium oxide

[Irviemonster]

@DarkHero1989 red bull gives you.... powerful thermite?

[AScannerClearly]

It didn't quite melt through there, but it was still pretty cool to watch!

[amethyst8teen]

Yeah, it was pretty fun to make.

Later I took a hammer and gave the bottom a small tap and bottom of the pan collapsed... so it was close.
