150gr of thermite, composed of 1 part Aluminium and 2 parts Iron Oxide (III). It burns through two sheets of 5mm thick metal.

How to make is above, both powders have to be very fine, the finer the better, then they are both mixed together carefully and then out on a metal plate and a magnesium fuse is inserted.

  • @terminator0405 as long as a flame touches it it'll be fine

  • is the description referring to mass or volume with 1 part/2 part?

  • SPIDER MAN !

  • Sooo, how do you make it? :P

  • it looks like spider man!

  • you can light it with sparklers

  • Make sure you dont breathe in the aluminium dust, it SCARS your lungs, no-one mentions this in these kind of ivids :(

  • @terminator0405 Would have to be slow burning, but maybe.

  • i think your aluminum is to fine try using 20 micron if you dont have it go to skylighter(dot)com
