Those who were injured from use of thermite are almost certainly to have been ignoring standard Fire Safety precautions, probably by standing too closer to the thermite when it was set off, or by being an idiot and playing around with it.Besides, it's not exactly HARD to find out how to make Thermite on the internet. This video just shows it's effects, that's all.

Jan 30, 2008 - Somebody pleeeassseeeee! tell me if you can make thermite with magnalium????

JaevlabQg Says:

Feb 7, 2008 - 25.3% aluminium og 74.7% thermite. HOW u make doesn't I know. Yet lol.

JaevlabQg Says:

Feb 7, 2008 - Sorry. Ofc I meaned Red Iron Oxide.

Feb 9, 2008 - lets go to mars and dump a billion tons of aluminum powder on it and light it on fire with magnesium!!!! yay science!!!

graafenblackpaw Says:

Feb 10, 2008 - 1) Not my yard.2) The folks who own the yard hadn't been able to cut it prior to the filming. It's all nice and trim now.

dogsgone Says:

Feb 13, 2008 - Lol cool dude keep up the good work.And it'snice to know you did help keep is lawn trimming looking good.

TheFluorineMartyr Says:

Feb 29, 2008 - yes.Magnalium is 50:50 Mg:Al right? (Idont have any myself) if so you would have to work it out yourself for I shan't.The typical Goldschmitt reaction (thermite reaction) is as follows:2Al + Fe2O3 => Al2O3 + 2Fefor Mg:3Mg + Fe2O3 => 3MgO + 2Fewikipedia has all the Relative Atomic Masses necessary.I'll leave you to do the maths...

Apr 23, 2008 - Dude, I'm totally doing that!

DavRainbow6 Says:

Sep 30, 2008 - Thermite WAS used in the 911 WTC

Argibon Says:

Oct 26, 2008 - Yes it was used buy the CIA and others involved to bring down the towers.This is a fact.

DerrickForLife Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - no fact, just another comspiracy

NPSF3000 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - WOW, a 300 ton aluminium plane, a huge iron building and intense heat...Anyone here want to hazard a guess to where any Thermite could of come from?

CrazyBoy53JJ Says:

Feb 6, 2009 - Thermite is too easy to make.

uberfresco Says:

Oct 13, 2009 - really wow never knew that

metalschooldrill Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - That's an awful lot of powder. It's too expensive. Fireworks prices more than doubled on at least some products from 2006. I was wondering if Thermite could vaporize wood fast, so as to clear out an old wooden pole going down in concrete. Then slip a new pole in, weather proof this time

gkyy3c Says:

Dec 18, 2009 - I AGREE !!!WTC is the most obviously self-atack ever happened

punxsutawneybarney Says:

Jun 13, 2011 - See what happened when the MythBusters set off 1000 pounds of thermite, and see demonstrations of how thermite can cut steel girders, box columns, and bolts. See my video:Incendiary Experiments

GuruMediator Says:

Nov 16, 2011 - Yowsers! Nice demonstration, thanks for sharing.

graafenblackpaw Says:

Nov 16, 2011 - Thanks! :)

Mar 17, 2012 - Has anyone here in the youtube community ever made thermite and afterwerd measured the volume of iron produced? I was thinking of doing some experiments and trying to get the falling iron land in a mold and basicly make my own cast iron. The thing with the kind of casting I have in mind is you need pretty much exzact measurements. So if anyone knows the ratio of pure iron yeiled to iron oxide used that would be greate.
