Thermite in a Glass Jar

I put some left over thermite in a glass baby food jar. I used a new system that is fool-proof in lighting thermite. I've never had it fail even when magnesium ribbon and sparklers did. Ask me about it!

Check out my other vids! I have thermite and fireworks! Some thermite made using copper oxide and even sand!

i just use wisco fuze butt my Fe2O3/Al explodes almost like CuO/Al.

try thes: 50% CuO/Al thermite

and 50% (80% KMnO4/20% Al)

in carbord tube

max 5-10g. mixing: diper methode ONLY!

Yeah, you use fine enough Al powder and it reacts much more quickly. I've used it with some indian dark flake and it pretty much exploded as well.

I don't know that I would mix permanganate and aluminum, that seems too sketchy, haha.

So then, whats your method of igniting?

cheers

I use magnesium chips mixed with some black powder(technically green mix) and a fuse to ignite my thermite. I've never had it fail.

[11vvdd]

Yeah, I still have most of the left overs from my thermite stuff, I suppose I could do a short video sometime.

I don't know why people go through all of the trouble of using Magnesium wire or Sparklers. Any mixture of a potassium oxidizer + sugar will easily ignite thermite.

[11vvdd]

Ah yes, I suppose that would indeed work. Well, I know the hot burning ones would such as KClO3 or 4, but I wonder if KNO3/sugar mix would be hot enough? Never tried it, but let me know if you do.

[surplusdriller]

kMnO4/Al is relativly safe just do not grind or mix with sulfur.

try to make 1g and test friction,heat and static ignition proppertis.

stay safe.

A fricken sparkler will do the trick!!!

[hkparker]

Ive heard of KMnO4 with glycerin being hot enough but sparklers and magnesium ribbon are easier to get
