  • looks like I am gonn ahve to try this one soon

  • @egloskerry we could just go with " it is thermite AND better..(than standard Fe2O3/Al)"

  • @egloskerry

    I guess you could call it that.

    All thermite is just a redox reaction though. Never thought about replacing the iron in common thermite with something lower in the activity series though.

    Awesome vid though :].
