Just a stoichiometric thermite mix lit with a sparkler (the magnesium tape was sulking). By crikey, it goes foosh! The un-extinguishable reaction produces molten iron at over 2000c - watch it drip through the bonfire.

  • Just mix iron oxide and aluminiun powder in the correct ratio - which is basic chemistry. :)

  • how did you make your thermite???

  • Gasp! OK, so that's quite cool. But take care of those bleach-blonde eyebrows.

  • SQUEE!
