  • A Florida engineer, Jonathan Cole, recently demonstrated how to use packaged thermite to cut steel girders, box columns, and bolts. See my video:

    Incendiary Experiments

  • I think I did something like this when I was five and playing around with iron replacement, for water softeners. My mom always used to tell me I was going to blow myself up and not to come crying when I was missing some body parts..... Thanks mom!

  • "Thermite er kraftige saker"

    hæhæhæhæ se det lyset XD

    jævlig fett :)

  • i got iron from the ground with a mganet i think its iron oxide and i just grinded up a luminum can and cadded some charcoal so it will be easyer to light =) but i only had a small amount so it might be like a very hot fire cracker

  • use a fuse

  • Congrats no brain ...

    USE FUSE!!! b4 u lose hand or head...

  • 1.24

    Hahaha, se det lyset! Hørtes ut som du hadde blitt kastrert eller noe..;-P

  • I love this reaction. I recently had to perform it for a "magic" show in my ap chemistry class. However, we used potassium chlorate + sugar mixture and sulfuric acid to set it off.

  • do this on someones engine block on there car hahaha owned

  • where to get red iron oxide

  • iron oxide is rust u moron

  • you can actually hook two iron nails to a battery in a saline solution. Just make sure the nails are touching. After a few hours, you can scrap off the iron oxide.

  • Husk va du selv sier :P sikker het først bru lunte. men her bruker vi fyrstikker :D

  • sure, claim science and then don't bother to include material ratio :P

  • @explosiveooze its 2 parts Fe2O3 to every 1 part 2Al.

  • NORWAY FTW!! where did u get this in Norway? I also want to buy salpetre (kno3), any clue where to get it exept felleskjøpet and pharmacy ??

  • Yeah! Norway rocks! :D

    The iron oxide is from an art/pottery store (in Oslo) and the aluminium from a (Swedish) shop on the internet.

    I have also some aluminium from a store in Poland in my basement / lab, I use that in one of my other Thermite videos! Visit my youtube channel.

    Kjemishop . com is a Norwegian internet store that sell KNO3 (1kg for ca. 50 NOK), but there site is down for upgrading or something now

  • you can make the ingriendients for thermite easy

    just type in how to make iron oxide, and aluminum powder and it will come up

  • very cool !!

    I did the saltpetre, but I want something more powerful! I like to do the termite, where to buy the ingredients?

  • Well accually the 4 buckets of water you had isnt going to be much protection since the water can cause a phreatomagmatic explosion, spraying hot fragments in all directions. o.O so yea lol

  • What recipie did you use to mix them as in what parts?

    Like:  6:4

    Fe203:Al

  • ok 4 things

    1 way to go wasting money in fucking poland

    2 rust is very easy to find and grind for free although aluminium may need some effort (try a electric sander?)

    3 uh use a magnesium strip and make the mix a ittle "less perfict" to avoid having it blow up in your face :(

    4 did you say black iron oxide? um thats kinda um explosive Stoichiometry

  • 1 Chemicals are cheep in Poland.

    2 I didnt bye rust from Poland, only aluminium and it was cheep.

    3 I did you sparkler as a fuse in my second thermite video: watch?v=UKSm8kK8ILQ

    4 No, I used red iron oxide.

  • @legionnaire100 thermite doesnt explode.

  • @legionnaire100 "fucking poland" ?! way to go for a redneck who can't spell. Go fuck yourself, eskimo!

  • Jeg kan bare gå opp til barneskolen og rulle en magnet i sandkassa også er den full av svart jernoksid. det er tydeligvis masse av det i fjellet som skolen er bygd på. det stikker svarte klumper ut av fjellet som er igjen. som også er magnetiske.

  • You stupid kids! Stop playing with fire! It's dangerous!

    Hahaha are tuller Thor :) Jeg liker Thermit.

  • what cam did u use for this, n where can i get tht stuff

  • Canon HG10

    You can buy the chemicals online.

    I got my iron oxide from a local art/pottery store and the aluminium from a shop on the internet.

    You dont need so very fine powder for thermite, so you can make it yourself I think, but it is much simpler / easier to buy it.

  • I got the aluminium from a dude in Poland, I did also bye some aluminium from svenskakemi . nu

    I got the iron oxide as an pigment from a local art accessories shop. I think they use it as a pigment in pottery.

    Soon I will make a new thermite video, were I test thermite whit black iron oxide, yellow iron oxide, red iron oxide and copper oxide! And some other pyrotechnical, chemistry and science-videos!

    So please Subscribe and you will get e-mail or something when the new video is coming up!

  • where did you get Fe2O3 and Al?
