Just take some household Aluminum foil (the cheaper the better), and use your BLENDER to turn it into powder.<br /><br />Just Google for "make aluminum powder with blender" and you'll find dozens of sites and videos.<br /><br />And I, too, have a genuine, legitimate use for Thermite. Small quantities of it are used to bond ground rods together with heavy cable. It makes a permanent, rust-proof connection that has VERY low Ohmic resistance, exactly what you need for bonding grounds together!drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-31409438804779467772012-12-15T22:18:07.789-06:002012-12-15T22:18:07.789-06:00WHAT???

Works like a charm. Also, I UNDERSTAND that if you take a 50' coil of fast burning cannon fuse (mostly coiled with a 2-3 foot leader on it) and dump one pound of thermite in the center of it, then light the fuse and run like hell, it'll burn right thru a cop's...I mean a car's...engine block.Fuzzy in AZnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5183651835847025449.post-69244599410493497162012-12-15T21:47:22.149-06:002012-12-15T21:47:22.149-06:00Hydrothermal Explosion.

There is so much energy being released by thermite that the water vapor becomes just another source of oxygen to feed the fire. <br /><br />There is a new rocket fuel that exploits this effect. It is called ALICE or ALuminum ICE rocket.<br /><br />Water will also result in magnesium fires burning hotter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
