What Thermite is and How to Make it
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2017
- I show how to make thermite using aluminum powder and iron oxide. Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition usually consisting of metal powder and a metal oxide. It creates extremely high temperatures in a very small area for a short period. With aluminum/iron oxide thermite the temperatures are as high as 4500 degrees F. Thermite is used for welding, metal cutting/boring, field-expedient metal repairs, science demonstrations, high-temperature ignition, disabling military equipment, and other applications.
Materials used:
- Aluminum Powder: amzn.to/3Uv4sJz
- Red Iron Oxide Powder: amzn.to/3UAtSWr
- Magnesium Ribbon: amzn.to/3W9MPAm
- Precision Scale: amzn.to/3Uy8GA5
- Flower Pot: amzn.to/3Wh8vL4

The basic thermite recipe for iron oxide and aluminum is 3 parts iron oxide to 1 part aluminum powder. You can modify the ratios to find what works best for you, this may take some experimentation. To make a 4 ounce batch of thermite, weigh out 3 ounces of iron oxide. Then weigh out 1 ounce of aluminum powder. Dump them into a sealable container, and put the top on. Shake them until the color is consistent throughout. Having the correct balance of fuel and oxidizer is key to having a stable burn in a thermite reaction. The finer the ingredients and the better they are mixed the easier it will be to ignite, and the faster the reaction will be.

Disclaimer: Take all of the proper safety precautions before attempting to make thermite. Burning thermite can spatter molten iron a long way from the burning pile. Do not stand close to the mix when it is igniting or burning. And make sure there is nothing nearby that can catch fire. You cannot extinguish a thermite fire with water or a fire extinguisher because it has its own oxygen and you need to cool it to the point where it stops burning otherwise it will keep burning. You could hit it or move it to remove the thermite that hasn't started burning yet from the burning thermite but this would only reduce the burn not put it out. Lowering the surrounding temperature with the addition of an appropriate quantity of Liquid nitrogen can easily quench a reaction. www.skylighter.com/fireworks/h...

When you mix fuel, metal oxide, and metal powder in just the right way you make a substance that burns at nearly 2,000 degrees Celsius, hot enough to burn through nearly any barrier known to man
The Zesty Bagel RAINBOW SIX SIEGE thermite
One big fucking hole coming right up
Throw some C4 into the mix
And you've got one hell of a combination.
The Zesty Bagel isnt we al ceruois if the games lieing pr not game logic be like
As a friend would say: “One big fucking hole coming right up”
"Add some c4 into the mix, and you've got 1 hell of a combination."-Thermite
Actually, you could cover C4 with ignited thermite and it wouldn't do anything but burn. In order to actually explode, C4 needs an initial shockwave from a detonator shoved into it, or another explosive near it.

@@TheGrrson I heard that if you were to shoot the composition 4 with a tracer round of high caliber then it'd explode
@@ac-Lukesbiggestfan It might, depending how it is struck. That's why det cord is so invaluable.
I don't know the exact composition, but dry ice mixed in correct proportions with your thermite will make a very hot explosive mix. Don't hold me to that, but I think that's correct, from memory.
Thx, gonna go get some methylamine.
Lmao😂😂😂😂
@@staysaltykid5862 lmao
Science! Bitch!
A.G. P SAY MY NAME!
Be sure to ROLL the barrel!
I used to make for fun raw thermite....when I was 14 a friend bright me some Titanium shavings to mix with my therm....And I had a chance to aquire some magnesium shavings also....I found a spot in my neighborhood where it was bare ground we made a wooden sandbox about 4'x4' and about 6" deep...we put the mixture together in a brick pipe using a sparkler we lit it and ran like hell!! The reaction was brilliant like the Sun as it sparked everywhere like a runaway flash bomb when sparks jumping around 6-7' into the air we we moved even farther away as even the wooden sandbox caught fire and was burning violently...Later when everything cooled down and Neighborhood Fireman saw our experiment...we had turned a good portion of the sand from the box into a glassy material... He figured that the Titanium shavings made it real violent and that was my last time I made thermo....
you should make a video on how glass is mad ..... the cool way!
Mom is going to be pissed when she finds out what you did to her pans.
If I'm on the FBI watch list imma say I'm just a pyromaniac who likes science
shall not be infringed brother
xAmpzie or just say that ur a thermite main in R6s
Sure and I’m just a guy who wants to get ride of an Alexa
I just want to burn my old vw engine block. If you throw one in a fire it will burn a hole in the ground.
Everyone is on the fbi watch list is u have Instagram on ur phone or mostly any app really, read the terms & conditions, no one does that cause I guess they never learn to read before u sign, same shit
1:28 Or you can just bandit trick
Or now Kaid trick
Or shoot it if it’s on a soft wall
Pffft real chads mira trick it
Me: Watching how to make thermite
5 minutes later
Dad: Why is the FBI here
why did he use a wick if he just burned the hell out of it anyways???
I was thinking the same thing 😂
When you mix fuel, metal oxide and metal powder, it burns at 2000 degrees Celsius, hot enough to cut down any barrier known to man.
*C4 Explosions*
And some C4 into the mix and you get one hell of a combination. #ThermiteOfRainbow6Siege
not hot enough to cut through tungsten, lol
Heating up something isn't enough to cut trough it, you'd need to melt the thing... And objects have thermal inertia. A simple flower pot can somewhat hold a thermite mix even tho it cracks, but then a piece of steel will tank the reaction without much damage
Amazing how flower pots are so useful in most thermal or explosive products. Not as good as mil spec products, but will do in a pinch if you need to melt or blow a hole in a door/wall.
Is this going to get me on the terrorist watch list?😥😂
well colinfurze made a thermite luancher and i don't think hes made it onto *the list* *yet* *maybe* xD
@@leviathan1082 he lives in England. And thermite is 100% legal,so your not on a watch list
Unlikely. I assume, some sort of program has been developed to help find the higher potential threats.
Dear CIA,, I was researching the insect and this video came up. Google mispelt, not me.
Almost definitely on a watch list because of this video
Thanks, I will definitely need this
Really interesting stuff, chemistry truly is a great science!
Thanks for the awesome video!
Very Cool. That's some useful MacGuyver knowledge right there.
Hey professor what was mix two about plaster of paris? I know thermite requires major heat to initiate the burn. Sparklers magnesium are good what of the 3 would you say worked best?
dude i thought that it would be you have to have this stuff but now he tells you how to make it and the ratios thanks this is helpful
Thanks!
Get some fuel, metal oxide and metal powder, and combine then in the right way.
Throw some C4 into the mix, and is a hell of a combination
What if to use aluminum powder and lead oxide(pb2o3). have you tested that?
will adding charcoal help with igniting it? ive heard that burning layers of newspaper in between aluminum before breaking it up and then milling it is a "trade secret"...
Gonna end up on a watch list after this
Tsk, tsk, tsk...
You didn't tear your paper weight. ;-)
What i heard while whatching this is *FBI open up !* and i'm writing from prison thank you youtube
MUSTAFA DURMUŞ I laughed out loud so hard when I read this. Thanks 😂
Welcome! To “how to get onto the MI6 and CIA watch list!”
sticler21 you’ve ruined the vibe
Or stay on it.
Does anyone happen to know where to find that 3D effect from the intro?
when you use bottom of a can your adding more aluminum wouldnt that throw off you 3 to 1 Ratio?
it doesnt get mixed so no not realy
and sometimes cans have an inner layer of plasticfilm
I’m on a watchlist now
How can you be sure you are measuring out the right quantities when you don't take into account the weight of paper?
Lmaoo why is this in my recommended? Is youtube trying to get me on a watchlist
trust me you’re already on one
My parents are away for some days...
...lets make thermite!!!
And now, how to burn through a reinforced wall with Thermite!
well... im now on a watchlist
ngl I was always curious about the third ingredient since I only knew aluminum and iron oxide because that's all my parents who did chemistry and liked making jokes at the time. This shit is too dangerous to play around with but it doesn't change the fact I was curious

*You have unlocked thermite*
GUYS, THE THERMAL DRILL, GO GET IT.
LOL .What was the wick for ? You just blasted it with your flame thrower ....cool vid though ...thumbs up and subscribed
its magnesium the torch doesnt blow hot enough for the thermite to ignite magnesium does so he lighted Or melted the magnesium in to the thermite
Great looking fire but what are the chemical products of it?
Now we just need to know how to make hand held EMP
cool! but why do you have such a lab to make this stuff?
This iron oxide in this video is probably fully or partially iron hydroxide. I say it because red iron oxide should be dark ugly red. This looks like orange pigment. Or does it look like that because of lighting and video recording settings?
Jordan Trace approves.
These are some survival tips
Excuse me but you Frogot the C4 now you will get one hell of a combination
“One big fucking hole in the wall coming right up”
There are 2 kinds of iron oxide feo2 and feo3 which one?
From what I'm reading it's red iron oxide go to a scrap yard and get some exhaust pipes and Santa rust off of it and you got all the rusty you need
This is the way.
Dear FBI agent that’s probably watching me because I search shit like this up. I’m just interested in learning science. I love welding and I like studying things like this. Don’t break down my door please.
Old aluminium oxide and iron oxide work together?
probably not
BREAK A METAL REINFORCEMENT and bring some c4
Rainbow players be like hahahah
GLAMIS DUNES CALIFORNIA, people would throw VW bug engine blocks into a big camp fire and HOLY CRAP! it was like a 10 foot tall flash bulb that stayed lit for hours...
I just wanna know and see how it works really, not interested in playing with fire. And Now I know! SCIENCE!
2:14 can't you just calculate what amount you'd need based on the reaction?
like that
-Thermite
Honey pot video - but I’m behind 7 proxies lmao
I wonder if they found this out by accident the way some of did with a certain pool chemicals and a certain product from Midas.
When your molotov cocktail reaches its final form
I read on a website that you have to bake the iron oxide for an hour at 200° Fahrenheit?? True or false
I can confirm that heating iron oxide makes a better result. First I tried to cut a steel pipe by just mixing aluminium oxide and iron oxide. I spent all 400 grams of thermite and the pipe was still strong enough to bend. Then I heated iron oxide in oven to make it dry. Then I was able to cut a pipe with 200 grams of thermite. Second attempt was also much brighter and much less spills.
I don't know but if it's true it's probably getting all the moisture out of it
How is this useful if you need to do it with blow torch, like what
Next up how to make a boom boom covered in paper and wires with a timer
The FBI agent watching me be like "WATCH THIS DUDE"
Had to make sure I remembered what the military guy told me lol
You’re probably watching this and wondering if making thermite is illegal, it is not. But that doesn’t mean you can go and make ridiculous amounts of it because that would still burn your face off
1:25 does that mean you can burn it in space and it would light up cause it makes its own oxygen
We on a watchlist now lads
can you use aluminum oxide and iron powder?
yes but it’s better the other way around use aluminium powder an iron oxide
Why is there so much fussing with that small scale one. Blow torch on the magnesium. More blowtorch on the thermite. Poking, prodding. Is it not going well?
What’s the point of a fuze if you have to light it with a torch anyway? 😂😭
Why u put a wick and burn it with a torch?
Guess I'm on a list now
Everyone is on a meta data list. Set off the correct sequence of flags and big brother needs to at least take a peek, as they should. I assume thermite in experiment quantities are low on the peek list. Show intent to do harm and your experiments to find a better way for humanity will end in cell time. A terrorist would need truckloads of thermite to do little harm at a high price tag. Anyone who can read, can do more harm with household chemicals. What’s your plan for thermite? Do you think it possible transport enough to do harm to an armored vehicle/contents, then even get close to such an armament? Thermite is a tool or a toy, only that. If you can purchase a thermite kit online from pyrotechnics dealers, it’s not a threat. Trying to make up some wild conspiracy about thermite is a fools errand. Better stick with beer is dangerous and kills every day!
1:06 unexpected Pitch Meeting.
I just trying to open a an old safe FBI
Bandits laughing at this
He listed some of its uses but strangely enough he forgot to mention building demolition...
Scorch mains realizing they can commit warcrimes irl
I might be shit at science, but at least i know how to make thermite.
Iron oxide III created using bleach...does the residue need to be cleaned of bleach?
According to color, I guess it is at least partially iron hydroxide in this video. Not iron oxide.
I was making pipe bombs in my garage at 16, I wish I had known how to make thermite! I could burn in at home, unlike pipe bombs.
This will be good for the revolutionary war part 2 “movie” that I’m making. Yes just a movie.
Lucky me I can play entry point in real life
Good luck surviving somehow endless hordes of SWAT if you wanna go there
I am making an artificer in 5e. No questions asked.
You can burn through a car block engine but it’s risky when it comes to safes.
Big Bang Theory took me here.
odd so just rust makes Iron oxide great thanks.
Wear a respirator when doing this, you do not want to breathe in metal dust.
Boutta go get some methylamine
Isnt this the shit that got on the guys cheek in We Were Soldiers and they had to cut the cheek off with a bayonet?
Scorch AI transferred to pilot
Don't make magnesium powder or tear it in little pieces, magnesium ingites itself with the oxygen and moisture if cut in little pieces, to store magnesium safely chemists puts it under Petroleum ether for preventing autoignition with air
WARNING don't expose magnesium to water or high humidity places it will autoignite or worst explode, you does'n want a metal fire in youre garage because you can't put it out with normal household fire equipment (fucking bucket of water)
Don't mess with magnesium, inform youreself before buying it BE SAFE
Sorry for my bad english tho
Starting the thermite with the blow torch is cheating. I wanted to see if the magnesium could start it burning.
Looks like the corner of the WTC on 9-11
ha i remember the mythbusters blurring this out
id like to clarify that I dont know want to know how to make it, just curious
