Nov 27, 2011 - I think you can. Should get hot enough to ignite the thermite

Jan 11, 2012 - what is thermite for ?

Jan 17, 2012 - To light thermite you need a fuse that can reach verry high tempratures and one of the things that burn hot enough is magnesium. There are other substances that can do it but they choose magnesium (think it's the easiest to get a hold of).But to awnser your question, no it does not have to be magnesium.

Feb 7, 2012 - In World War II the British and American scientists created it for more effective bombing and also so it could burn through the steel of tank incredibly fast. Most of the time thermite was used in anti tank grenades, which on contact (its primer was set to contact) would burn the tanks engine thus disabling it.

Feb 15, 2012 - can I get the Aluminium and the Iron Oxide in a store or do I have to do it myself?

Mar 13, 2012 - No, the lack of sugar coating will prevent a chemical reaction! ALWAYS use full sugar! youve been warned!

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.

Mar 29, 2012 - @Billdude21 you would need to preheat the mould, i attempted and the crematic mould shattered due to heat

May 5, 2012 - If you learn some basic chemistry you could figure that out
