  • chuck norris doesnt need thermite to burn a copper tube

  • guys isnt thermite just sparkeler stuff?

  • @WhereIsYourGod Hmm, that looks *just* like the spark coming out of The World Trade Center......no wait...911 has PROVEN that all we need is a little bit of kerosene to bring a building down to its footprint, and crumble it to dust. Ahhh. I just love science. Hey lets all get rich and follow that advice. Thanks to 911 we can start a demolition company with only jet fuel!!! Yay I'm rich!

  • yup, 9/11

  • yup, 9-11

    

  • @sandcrab132

    Al + Fe2O3 -> AlO3 + 2Fe

    There we go, I balanced it for you. :)

  • Thermite in small quantitys is really good for picking locks :)

  • I did this sort of thing, but I used Magnesium instead of thermite.
