That's a bad experiment. If you want to thwart someone's hypothesis, you have to recreate the exact conditions of it. It means that you have to have a big pool of molten aluminium with organics and a big, constant fire.
You can't compare a handful of aluminium poured from a crucible that isn't immersed in fire with the predicted situation in the towers.
Your attempt proves nothing and shows you don't know what a scientific experiment is.
Actually, it is up to NIST to run experiments on their own hypothesis. I think this video shows quite a bit of data. It explains that you CAN'T mix anything organic in with molten aluminum uniformly. It will just turn to ash and float to the top. This so called "big constant fire" would be comparable to a bonfire. Have you ever been camping? I would assume that you have seen a few aluminum cans tossed into the fire, right? Did they melt? Data is data. You can refuse, but it is data.
Have you tried to mix in broken glass, pieces of concrete, and everything else together with organics? If the aluminium melted, and it had to as it happens in every such fire, it wouldn't have a nice, shiny surface. It's bound to have heavy, thick slag over it. Truss sections were sagging, and if such pool immersed in fire as it was, starts pouring, there should be sparks.
I'm open for more explanations, but I reject "thermite" because it's just ridiculous.
I can't believe that people actually think that looks like molten aluminum. At least NIST hypothesized that it was magically mixed perfectly and uniformly to appear bright orange. Thankfully we have this video that shows what happens when you mix stuff in with molten aluminum.
Thank you.

@8real I agree, it's up to them.
