[TheForge] Fun with thermite anyone?

[Jerry Smith]

Could we let this thread die before somebody goes out
and tries some of this stuff????? Thermite is very
dangerous, somewhere on the net from Australia is a
video about a couple of young guys playing with
Thermite. Want to see a car burn to nothing, this
video has it. The fire departments have to let this
stuff burn out, then try to save what ever is near it.

Nasty stuff, a little goes a long way, a 5 gallon
bucket could burn your neighborhood down literally.

Next some one will want to try blast fusion of unlike
metals with nitric acid and glycerin, and they don't
understand the process of blending the stuff.
