Brainiac Science Abuse - Thermite Vs A French Car - Part 1

[TheTomahawkninja]

Richard Hammond?

[ManuelFerara]

haha its funny cause i hate French.......stuff :D

[skeletorphd]

This is impossible.

The government said so.

[igottahoodie]

I miss this show :'(

"It's been specially chosen to be destroyed because it's old, it's white, but more importantly, because it's French".

LOOOL:P

[LomaPrieta101789]

Was that a clay pot he was using?

[punxsutawneybarney]

The mythbusters guys set off 1000 pounds of thermite to try to cut a car in half. See how it turned out in my video:

Incendiary Experiments

[rudderick]

acutually it really doesnt need to be powder

[sam9116]

could this be used for breaching a door?

[looolz26]

TAKE THAT YOU SNAIL EATING BASTARDS!!!!

[mattman1941]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RICHARD HAMMOND!!!!!!!!

[Sreewtyui]

Is the music from Screaming Lord Sutch?

[nemesisdog2]

@ttjoseph1

for those who dont understand this is

iron oxide and alluminium

[dafones4real]

Way to melt a car on a nice, natural grassy clearing.

[evilhamst0r]

it has be chosen to be destroyed becuase its old.. its white, but importently because it's frensh!

aaahahahaha :D:D

[docbipe]

why does someone not do this on a running engine?

[nattavision]

@docbipe because it would explode and splatter the thermite all over the place, they may be dangerous, but not as dangerous as to put their own people at risk!

[maxhall69]

thank god for thermite........

[ErnestMC]

I had a citroen once. It was the worst decission in my life. All Citroen cars deserve this xD

[EmoEwok666]

is that not a pugoeut or what ever u call em?

[cotullaguy]

Thermite was found in the Twin Towers.

[IBMtypewritergirl]

Oooh.

[pocketsnzl]

i dont believe thermite was in the twin towers as if you burn the iron rods that reinforce concrete you get iron oxide and if you burn steel alloy girders containing aluminium you get the two unmixed portions of thermite throw in a ground shaking crash and there might be small portions of thermite everywhere

[tatara102188]

Well just to prove a point here is some science for you. The thermite reaction essentially leave4s nothing behind but molten iron. The aluminum is dispersed in the air as aluminum oxide. So if any thermite was found in the twin towers it was all caused by the crash itself and not planted there.

[htirah100]

@cotullaguy KLCC?

[ttjoseph1]

@cotullaguy Thermite is aluminum oxide and rust, both extremely common substances. Not hard to imagine those two mixed by chance when a building is destroyed.

[interpird350]

@ttjoseph1 actually it isn't rust it's Fe(III) not the common rust FE(II),

also to start a thermite reaction you would need something extremely hot, like Magnesium, not something you would find in a building.

[entoris476]

@ttjoseph1

lol fail you mean aluminium and rust.

aluminium powder IS expensive XD

[archer89smiley666]

@entoris476

not really... a cheap ass coffee grinder + aluminium off cuts is enough to make semi-effective thermite

[entoris476]

@archer89smiley666

you need FINELY GROUNDED aluminium POWDER. (<-----Expensive)

Not just pieces...

[Haevex278]

@entoris476

Morter+Pestle

[entoris476]

@Haevex278

you need a large bulk if both iron oxide and aluminium, small amounts wont do anything.

and for the last fucking time, a bulk of those 2 finely grounded powders of those materials are expensive.

[Johnsavag]

@ttjoseph1 Not aluminum oxide, aluminum.

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@ttjoseph1 Not aluminum oxide you idiot. And yes it is when it is found in the form of nano thermite.

FIY, nano thermite is extremely fine iron oxide and aluminum powder mixed in incredible accurate proportions.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@CertifiedBad4ss nano thermite burns to fast to melt shit its more of an explosive

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@1ukjunglednbraver Regular thermite is also considered an explosive. Nano thermite isn't an HE, it just burn at half the temperature of the sun, and shouldn't be found in rubble.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@CertifiedBad4ss shut the fuck up...its burns in a flash at half the temperature of the sun 3000 degrees c normal thermite burns for longer and has more effect.....not to mention if you wanted to bring a building down you would just use normal high explosive shaped charges not some super science fiction new bullshit ive been making pyrotechnics for years and such things thermite is a bad choice to bring down a building normal explosives or even a plane will do better

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@1ukjunglednbraver Yes, a guy who calls himself Frank Spank and lists porn and beer as interests is sure to be a master of pyrotechnics. And a guy who can't spell for shit at that.

How would you go about setting up precision shaped charged on steel beams all throughout a sky scraper, without people noticing demolition crew.

Fact is that thermite was found in the rubble, and thermite is used to cut through steel industrially.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@CertifiedBad4ss shut up you dont know shit everything has been discreitited my spelling well im dyslexic...as for the pyrotechnics im a god...thermite is not used industrialy to cut steel the only aplication i can think of it being used is in welding rail tracks...ive made copper oxide thermite manytimes is burns so fast that doesnt melt shit ....your saying that people would have noticed a damoltion company i think they would notice a tonns of thermite being planted in the building

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@1ukjunglednbraver I think you are a 15 year old who googled and watched too many youtube videos and now think you are an expert, this conversation has gone on long enough.

I have no need to prove myself to some retarded kid who thinks he's an expert.

And yes, thermite is used industrially to cut steel, and no, thermite could easily have been smuggled into the building, the fact still is that there were thermite in that building.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

@CertifiedBad4ss i wish i was 15 again im 24 ive got all the chemicals for thermite and other exotic things i wish i had filmed some of my crimes to show you but im not that stupid and have thermite many many times its awfull at melting anything but thin sheet steel like a car bonnet.. metal 2 inch thick solid steel beems would take so many many kilos of themite when just one kilo explosive shaped charge would work so much better thats why they use explosives in demolitions and not thermite

[CertifiedBad4ss]

@1ukjunglednbraver Whatever you say Frank Spank.

[1ukjunglednbraver]

im not done with you cunt flaps were are your pyro videos and know how ile make some tommro and ile post it...what do you want flash powder, thermite, high explosives. rockets.....if you want high explosives you will have to wait a day or two cos ile have to make the detonators and dry out the primary explosive but i got every thing to go....and frank spank i can only assume my brother has changed my name

[leonrocksall]

This is a car. It's been especially chosen to be destroyed because it's old, it's white, and more importantly, it's FRENCH. OOOOOHHHHHHH. French cars got owned.

[Research0digo]

1:57 - 1st attempt didn't work so well I'd say - flower pot switched to paint can,

Re: 9/11 - notice the super white smoke and the very bright yellow 'flame' so to speak.

Pancake theory my fanny!!!

[026060465]

hhhhhhhhhh

french frogs

[meuchy06]

what do they have against french lol?

[EnglandFootballFreak]

ya i would say happy!

[KleineJumbie]

BECAUSE IT'S FRENCH! ahaha

[EnglandFootballFreak]

yes....agree 100 percent mate!

[KleineJumbie]

France sucks

[EnglandFootballFreak]

ya how do you think i feel being an Englishman?

[KleineJumbie]

I think happy haha

[icedragon295]

and White! xD

[KleineJumbie]

And white? what do you mean? xD

[royalpaperclip]

they should have done it to a caravan lol

[ItsCoreyEvan]

Ja!
