May 26, 2009 - wow I was thinking this was going to be some future darwin award winner of a teacher igniting thermite inside. Pretty cool demo though

Sep 9, 2009 - Wow... really some experiment. I don't think I would want to try this "at home" :)

Sep 17, 2009 - I've done this in a science room, I was chatting with my teacher (my biology teacher by the way) and the conversation got onto thermite and he says "why not make that now?" and sure enough a minute later we have the flowerpot set up on the desk (above a tray of sand for safety)

Mar 22, 2010 - what would happen if the thermite when into a collection of liquid nitrogen? would the reaction be violent? or would it just make the nitrogen boil and return to a gas more quickly?

aaronakeller Says:

Apr 11, 2010 - @beastabuelos: I've never tried it. I suspect it would cause the liquid nitrogen to explosively vaporize. Now, that would be exciting. But I wouldn't want to be standing anywhere near it.

Jul 2, 2010 - I wish are school would teach this kind of stuff, we'd actually LIKE going to school to learn this. But no they think book work and playing with helium is more safe.

Jul 8, 2010 - I wish I had a chemistry teacher that did as much demo as you it would have made chemistry alot more interesting

dotcombatgames Says:

Feb 13, 2011 - you can chop a car in half with it =)

punxsutawneybarney Says:

Jun 9, 2011 - The mythbusters guys set off 1000 pounds of thermite trying to cut a car in half, and 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

Sep 1, 2011 - Your voice sounds a lot like the Brain.

Jan 4, 2012 - i'd imagine some kind of exposion... if you put a ton of thermite on a block of ice, it explodes. check out mythbusters
