Thermite

phisher453 Says:

Nov 11, 2010 - it would probobly melt through the plaster, thermite burns at around 4,00 degrees farenheit

metalmanga Says:

Nov 11, 2010 - it does, but your knife will be really weak, becouse it wont be hardend

kentofmississippi Says:

Nov 12, 2010 - it sounds like it would work. Of course, there is only one way to test it. Who wants me to make a video?

vilago5 Says:

Dec 22, 2010 - screw the knife just throw thermite at your enemies

bombbuilder2010 Says:

Feb 8, 2011 - what kind a fuse dide you used light the thermite??I life in the Netherlands but do you ore sombody else know if thermite is illigal in the Netherlands??

shotgunninja0 Says:

Feb 9, 2011 - it would be full of impurities, and unless you had some miraculous feat of engineering ingenuity which allowed you to immensely compress ONLY the iron and extract the aluminum oxide, then it would just give you a mould full of powdered or encrusted iron and aluminum oxide. The "blade" it produces would flake and fall apart right away, since the material structure would be so irregular.

Collinoeight Says:

Feb 17, 2011 - not even close.

Feb 24, 2011 - I HATE ADS THUMBS UP IF U AGREE!!!!

ctcole77 Says:

Feb 27, 2011 - 3 QUESTIONS 911 TRUTHERS DON'T WANT YOU TO ASK THEM:Why did Dr. Steven Jones circumvent the peer review process by not showing his nanothermite paper to the chief editor and printing it without her approval?How can Marvin Bush be in charge of WTC security when he stopped working for Securecom in June of 2000?If the WTC was destroyed via demolition, how did the charges survive the plane impacts and how did the perpetrators know exactly where the planes would hit the buildings?

Apr 9, 2011 - completely legal.

Viratic Says:

Jun 1, 2011 - SCIENCE!

punxsutawneybarney Says:

Jun 3, 2011 - A Florida engineer, Jonathan Cole, recently demonstrated how to use packaged thermite to cut steel girders, box columns, and bolts. See my video:Incendiary Experiments

canmoore Says:

Aug 6, 2011 - Carbide, or diamond will also probably hold up well to thermite.

sithnick Says:

Aug 12, 2011 - diamond would actually evaporate

Brianfellowes Says:

Aug 16, 2011 - So does the hard drive still work?

mynameismatt2010 Says:

Aug 24, 2011 - It's legal, all it is is rust and aluminium. We messed around with this stuff in my chemistry class. :)

ComputerGamerify Says:

Sep 19, 2011 - 5000 degrees of awesome

jadeisonlinetoomuch Says:

Oct 12, 2011 - it's 8grams of iron oxide to 3 grams aluminum

mariah128 Says:

Oct 19, 2011 - Wouldn't burning those plastics and metals release harmful toxins? (Not meant to sound condescending). 

booksandvideos Says:

Oct 19, 2011 - I know you said this a year ago, but for everyone else's knowledge I have also experimented with thermite. If you tried to make a knife out of thermite iron, you'd probably have a really crappy blade. The iron at the end of a thermite reaction is not really pure and solid. It's kinda crystalline, lightweight and fragile.

Pimpmastahanhduece Says:

Oct 22, 2011 - hackers should have all their sensitive data on hard drives with the wires so that its outside the computer. if the cops stomp down their draw, they could have pottery with thermite and a fuse ready to go. they cant put it out. its super hot and needs no air to burn. basically a full proof way to destroy data. how to do that without burning the place down it up to them.

Dec 29, 2011 - Makes you wonder what he had on the hard drive... O.o

iskatelikeanoob Says:

Jan 7, 2012 - what kinda thermite composition did u use

1nemindgypsy Says:

Feb 3, 2012 - I think you needed more iron oxide or maybe red iron oxide

Ilovelazers Says:

Mar 5, 2012 - No, it would not. You would have to pour it or forge it. The reason why is 1. the knife will be brittle and 2. themite has a too high burning temp. I think its like 3000 C
