I've been shopping. Can you guess what I'm going to make?

Today two packages turned up, one containing the iron oxide and one with the aluminium powder. As I opened them Little Miss Feek (who is 14) said to me "Chemicals? Are you making thermite or something?" When I replied to the affirmative she called me an idiot. I asked why and she said "because it's dangerous, stupid". Then a few minutes later she called me an arse.

Sounds like she would do well as a health and safety manager.

Heh, reminds me of the gag we did on X-perimental. What consumes a barbeque the fastest - thermite, a bucket of liquid oxygen or a bucket of petrol? Well the oxygen did, just for the record, that was awesome :cool:

Also you can't get a fireball that way. The only way we ever got a fireball was with quite a large explosion followed by a flame pot to ignite the vapour cloud :)

There's a guide to lighting your BBQ with liquid oxygen.

The method has to be stack bricks, place lit taper above them - then pour on oxygen.

If you presoak the fuel it goes off like TNT.

Some kid has already been given a custodial sentence for having it. And yet Amazon still sell it. :confused:

No way? It's been widely regarded as a load of old tosh, that book. A whole load of the stuff in it is completely innacurate and has been disproved. The toadskins thing, the bananadine, and others that i can't remember.

Given the contents of it, the most damage a prank horny scrote could cause is a pair od burnt hands and a reluctance to try again :(
 
Postman's been.

That's what I was thinking - I scrapped my micra in September for £40 - there was probably about 5kg of rust on the thing.
 
I do trust you are going to video and take pictures of this "experiment"?

*gets popcorn* :cool:
 
Now I've seen what thermite does to a PC, ie the huge black cloud of smoke that is produced I've decided to tone it down a bit and just use the hard drives instead for nice secure data removal!

I shall of course have the video camera rolling.
