Liquid Nitrogen only makes Thermite angry

Thermite, not just for breakfast anymore

Ahhhhh, good ole Brainiacs...if the dudes from mythbusters were British, drunk, and had their hands on Thermite.

Enjoy!

The scary thing is, thermite is not hard to make.
That is if the anarchist's cookbook entry I read works.

Fire is nice.

Hopefully w/o getting myself into federal trouble:

Thermite is just 1 part Iron Oxide, 2 parts Aluminum powder. The Aluminum and Oxygen coupled with the heat causes the intense reaction, the iron only acts as a substance capable of sustaining the intense heat.

Thanks wikipedia: Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) → Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s); ΔH = -851.5 kJ/mol

I really liked when they threw a tv / vcr wrapped in bubble wrap off the back of a moving lorry to prove what sort of wrapping protects well.

hilarious.

Saw that episode, funny stuff. Not very scientific at all, but funny.
