Thermite reaction

Nov 22, 2009 - Yup, sorry.

Dec 10, 2009 - whats the easiest way to compehend that? whats FeO? and what was the first guy talking about?

kashish113 Says:

Dec 10, 2009 - aand where would you get that?

PeriodicElements Says:

Dec 11, 2009 - eBay is a great source for most things... =PAluminium powderblack/red iron oxide

Dec 21, 2009 - That's pretty epic.

Jan 5, 2010 - mix the chlorate with penut butter or chocklate spread works a charm less hassle to mostly

Feb 6, 2010 - Pretty cool !

youpolitics Says:

Mar 11, 2010 - Exactly - the reaction is just like the 911 action that led to the Downfall of the WTC Towers:- North Tower - South Tower - WTC Building 7 [Was 911not based on "Operation Northwoods" Carefully Organised Controlled Demolition by the Powers That Be?]What a co-incidence?Most intelligent people of the World do not think it was a co-incidence!Most intelligent people look at ALL the evidence - connect it together and understand THE TRUTH!Treachery against the US Constitution!

Apr 14, 2010 - yeaup for shure...

jimly976 Says:

May 5, 2010 - i like r sorta "sacred burning circle" lol but ye the thermite was pretty swish :D xx

dunlrock Says:

Aug 7, 2010 - The most exothermic reaction...

ductape95 Says:

Sep 18, 2010 - why?

PeriodicElements Says:

Sep 18, 2010 - If you think about blasck iron oxide, my own experiments showed that black iron oxide thermite is slower...

Oct 14, 2010 - what did you say the gummy bear do? help it fire up because it is sugar? very cool video too Joseph T fly2000jtb

Chemgeek10 Says:

Oct 14, 2010 - The gummy bears are mostly sugar (a good fuel), When the potassium chlorate oxidizes this fuel it produces enough heat to ignite the thermite. The thermite ignition can be tricky sometimes.

fly2000jtb Says:

Oct 15, 2010 - Very cool, so you could do the same thing with potassium permangante and glycrine? very cool Thanks for the very fast email/ response Joseph T fly2000jtb

fly2000jtb Says:

Oct 15, 2010 - how hot does the potassium need to be before you add the gummies? also if you heated the clay pot before you light it would the thermite flow through the hole at the bottom without breaking the pot? would not be as cool but you could save the pure iron you just made for a iron project etc.. Thanks for the info too Joseph T fly2000jtb

Chemgeek10 Says:

Oct 15, 2010 - The potassium chlorate needs to be molten. Propane torch treatment. Heating the pot first probably wouldn't keep it in one piece. Just too much heat. The iron that forms is not pure. It is contaminated with all sort of things but primarily aluminum oxide.

fly2000jtb Says:

Nov 10, 2010 - potassium permanganate and glycrine do just about the same thing wothout the tourch have you all tryed that yet? we got ours at ace hardware 1.5 pounds 15.00 not bad and the glycrine from the phamacy guy drug store. would it work as well because it gets hot real hot?

Jun 12, 2011 - For use of thermite in cutting steel, see my video "Incendiary Experiments".The mythbusters guys set off 1000 pounds of thermite to try to cut a car in half, and explosives experts at New Mexico Tech try to cut a column and a beam, and a Florida Engineer, Jonathan Cole, cuts columns, beams, bolt heads, and bolts.
