At about 2:23 there's a guy in the background acting like a total dork.
@@sonicplanet9193 No i mean, you replied to your own comment if i'm right..

I replied to the others who liked my comment. I wasn't sure if anyone else noticed. It's sort of like that whole guy in a guerilla suit playing basketball experiment. The viewer is so focused on what's in the foreground they miss the hilarity in the background.
This video is next level shadow banned
So shadow banned that it says it was posted a day ago and your comment was made 6 days ago
Nowhere near shadow banned as "The Great Thermite Debate"...
Yo how does your comment predate the video
@@bobbabouy8537 early access for members
Definitely
Allegedly all you need to ingite it is one of those really cheap sparklers
that have those metal wires
Yup we kept lots of those for fuses at a junkyard to ignite the thermite shearing charges. For that mixture add about 30% by weight of potassium perchlorate and use course aluminum chips as the fuel. It burns the metal you are wishing to shear. Was used on stuff too difficult to cut up as is with a torch directly.
As kids we would tape sparklers together in a certain way and use them to remove small stumps and scare pests away.... One day my buddies and I decided to tape 1,000 together.... It shattered ours and my neighbors windows.... The neighbor lady ran out screaming she just heard a shotgun right outside her window. The one buddy severely doubted it would do anything but we had done it many times before with smaller amounts. Thermite is no joke.
We did the same thing... not sure how many we taped together, but we set it off outside of a guys window at about 2am and scared the shit out of him.
Sparklers????
@@Idrinklight44 yessir! Tape them up tight
@@Blinkerd00d ty! Something to try!
how the hell you get a thousand of anything as a kid?
Yeah, science!
Science Easter Sunday
I remember a patent that made thermite into pellets by simply compacting them and leaving it in water, forming oxide layer was strong enough to keep it togather maybe then you might be able to stick to a surface
WTH is going on in the background 😂😂😂😂
I try not to pay attention to it
I totally didn’t hear the instructions part of the video because of this😂
Imitating GarandThumb
@@kornfed81 we did this tomfoolery first…
@@DeskPop if that's true I apologize
Great video and thanks for showing my comment ! My next idea would be to just make a ring of aluminum foil, tightly pack it full of thermite, inhibit it with some sort of filler media, and pray for the best!
Next video idea: what is the spiciest round you can make and launch from your shotgun?
We have seen some tannerite filled hollowpoint slugs that were capped with 22 blanks, but what else can you get away with legally?
Try drilling out the centers and put grade 8 screws in there.
Try magnalium powder in there.
Just make some truly diabolical stuff haha.
You're not too hidden in the algorithm. I've never heard of your channel but I found this video!
Favorite.... Channel..... Ever..... Never cover the ankles.
Oh mannnnnnn we are all on a watch list now.
Anything for you
It no longer if you're on one, it's how many.
I dunno, the MythBusters did thermite heaps. It's not really that scary
If your not on a watch list your not patrioting right 😂
Try using a ceramic flowerpot with a hole in the bottom.
You should have a better flow and will only go through the hole. 😊
You could mix thermite and plaster with 90% or higher of rubbing alcohol. Much less water.
I hope people send you lots of money
That would be incredibly helpful to my debt problem
It would help y’all pay off the $500 y’all owe SDS imports from your last shotgun video.
@@themighty4th138 $1000, we bought 8
@@DeskPop attaboy! Keep them shotgun vids coming.
Thermite grenades in the military are just used to disable equipment not to breach that's what real explosives are for.
Correct; the depositing of Iron is the benefit of thermite- not so much for cutting through as it is for disabling
@@DeskPop Thermite can absolutely cut steel if the reaction is contained and directed properly. Look up "The Great Thermite Debate" if you can even find it on here...
@@NotTheRealRustyShackleford I was just thinking about that video. Pretty sure he just used some square steel to direct the burn.
@@classCexplosive Yep, it's pretty easy to make thermite cutting charges...
They are also THERMATE (TH3) grenades and not thermite. Big big difference.
So I noticed tou had a small clay planter for a "measuring device". But typically when you want thermote to burn through something you put it in a crucible with a hole in the bottom to concentrate and contain the molten metal in one small area. Sometimes a clay planter can be used as a crucible. The older thicker ones work better than the dollar store paper thin ones.
This was testing thermal paste.
Also, the thermite will deposit iron instead of melt through
You don’t necessarily need more thermite you just need to contain and project the thermite in the direction you want
Video definitely unrelated, and definitely doesn’t show regular thermite vs directed thermite in a rapid building demolition

if your goal is to burn through things, stainless steel break line, stainless steelwool, add some o2 and its a thermal lance in minecraft.
11:39 'Why am I the way I am' 🤷
Lol I say this to myself all the time..😂
Add some sodium or potassium perchlorate if you want shearing mixture. The perchlorate should be in excess and aluminum must be course. Used this mixture to cut up scrap at a junkyard. Mainly because we had a bottomless amount of aluminum turnings and rust, leaving the perchlorate as the only component that we had to buy. It actually burns the metal rather than simply melting it. We used it sometimes for direct shearing, sometimes to prep for cutting with a torch. Usually used for scrappling large heavy assemblies that would take up too much space in the bins.
Nitrocellulose works.
PBAN is used to bind thermate in TH3 Grenades so probably works with thermite too
Media has LIED to us once again! Oh, the huge manatee!
The awkward dorkiness, the crazy guy in the background, the deadpan delivery, this is a fun video.
We need to make a thermite belt
That would actually be fun
Guys. Can you make this a spinoff?
Like
[DESK POP LABS] or something? This is a cool recurring idea. Maybe similar to mythbusters. Etc.
We plan to do a lot more science. Shoutout to our state for banning a bunch of guns and making this our only option

3:10 ...so Thermite....
Guy in the background: 🤸♂️🤾♂️🏌️♂️
I love when people say not to do something while explaining how to do it
Thermite definitely gets through metal easier when it's directed. The AN-M14 incindiary grenade can go through about half an inch of steel
There are some very interesting sites on the web showing how the railroads weld track together with thermite
New to UA-cam?
Thermite will melt through your whole engine block bud, I saw that here some 14 years back before Google Mucked everything up.
You're going to do well here!
We’ve been here for over two years now; UA-cam just doesn’t like to push our content unfortunately
Ordance Lab attempted several mixes of thermite, they had trouble burning paper inside a thin office cabinet. Solid metal acts as a good heat sink so while you heat it red hot and potentially melt a little on top, melting through requires a refractory shield, like in thermite welding for train rails.
6:45 this guy is hilarious
I feel like if maybe you used alcohol as a binder rather then water you might maybe get a better result. Because alcohol is also flammable but evaporates way quicker. But im no scientist.
The great thermate debate is a great video but.. it's not on UA-cam anymore but it is on rumble.
you need hotter igniters, maybe add a loose sleeve to them packed with raw material as it ignites easier to increase the heat into the mixed goop
On the first world bank heist you melt through a floor into a big vault using thermite but you use a LOT of thermite, like, 2-3 Jerry cans full and then it takes like 5 minutes
I wonder if making the thermite hydrophobic somehow might help? Not really sure tho.

@@DeskPop Thank YOU for the entertainment. All this needs is an outro music video parody about the science of explosives and Bill Nye would have nothing on you guys
under rated channel getting killed by youtube once again
using thermite at work to cut at times over 1m thick metal regularly... depends on how you use it, you need high pressure oxygen for most cutting
great video boys
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Probably the water oxidizes the aluminum. Even if you let it dry it won't go off.
Thumbs up to the guy in the background !😅😂
Got this reccommend, great video keep it up
Thank you!
This seems like the type of guy who doesn’t like the government. I like that.
@@fvlse_ it’s my whole personality, tight pants and hate the feds
@@DeskPop a fellow man of culture👍🏻
I wouldn't call it impossible, but there's a lot of work to be done in getting a functional formulation. It should be possible to make microscopic pellets that themselves contain compressed particles of aluminium and iron oxide which in turn are probably 50-200nm in size. These pellets would need to be held together by a burnable plasticiser which probably has to work with less than 10% mass percent. Even then, what's the point? You have molten metal running down metal bars! That won't cut through it! Unless your target is horizontal and not rounded...

Back in the day my dad had some magnesium plate in the garage... as a young kid hey lets put a propane torch to it... .25" heated it and when it lit holy shit exploded..
Without watching the video, i wanna say it can do that, the temperature is insane, if you use it properly.
and this, kids, is why Breach Pens exist 👀
I just want to welcome all the new guys to the atf watchlist. Were all a little mad in here lol
Create an alcohol gel, by mixing calcium acetate with pure alcohol. The resulting gel should not “wet” the reactants. Resulting in perfect ignition, in theory 😅
they do weld railroads with thermite
I think pouring half a pound of termite into an engine would kill it whether or not you ignite it. Al the fine dust will clog the oil and seize the engine eventually
Interesting topic 😅
Forgot how i got to this channel but im loving the educational content
Just trying to work around the weapons ban in our state
I was on a warship and part of the destruct procedure was to detonate thermite grenades on the very sensitive electronics for the radios.And radars, as well as certain very classified files.And there isn't why they used termite instead of explosives was because it was supposed to burn which means things could catch fire. So i'm fairly comfortable in thinking that the thermite won't belt through the plate. And what's up with the guy in the background.
i wonder if a "thermite tape" (some sort of prestaged duct tape with a thermite payload under the sticky side) would be a better way to do the paste idea
If you do the experiment again may I suggest theremite and magnesium mix toget work better
what if you put the thermite in a tube with a slightly narrowed end?
or if you put it in a springloaded, shaped container to keep it under a constant pressure as it burns away?
spoilers: this one works to cut, I just wanna see someone do it in resolution higher than like 240p. although, they specifically used thermate, so I also wonder if plain thermite can do it.
Tough to keep it pushing down, thermite is so so hot spring tension isn’t going to do much- we have some plans to try in the future
@@DeskPopcan't wait to see what you come up with.
also I'm afraid I didn't explain well enough, since I'm awful with words. I meant for there to be an exit, like a slot where the thermite would be shot out as it burns. the spring is more to give it a minimum pressure, so it doesn't just sit and burn in place. spring outside or separated by a piston, pushing piston into the thermite.
@@CaptnApathy It sounds like you're describing devices from "The Great Thermite Debate". The guy in that video made a device using square metal tubing and a gas piston, but the piston wasn't really necessary. Thermite can generate it's own pressure when confined and forced through a nozzle...
@NotTheRealRustyShackleford sounds like the same thing I saw, but not the same name. One of the devices did need something to keep pressure though, because it was leaving through a slit the same length as the device, not a nozzle.
I would think something like petroleum jelly would make more sense unless you needed it set up and harden.
Next video idea: Can Burning Jetfuel Melt Steel? 🤔
This is a highly underrated channel
We’re doing what we can with what my empty bank account can afford
@@DeskPop aren't we all
Hotter than the surface of the sun
Pls try 7 parts KC1O4 and 3 parts Al with Titanim shreds (small)
13:45 instead of a 4 to 1 ratio. Use a 4 part iron oxide and 2 part aluminum oxide. Then you’ll be able to do some absurd things.

I saw the lab coat and thought this was Garand Thumb for a sec.
Check out the Mythbusters Hindenburg episode and try again
Bring em on!
What if you mix in a tiny bit of magnesium powder or gunpowder?
A video about termite and termite paste... and not a single BS 9/11 tin foul conspiracy comment was found. (Admittedly I didn't go through ALL the comments) Very refreshing.
Can you safely compact/compress thermite into a block similar to like rocket fuel? Would a more solid block of thermite burn better or not?
It’s extremely hard to ignite and needs a match wrapped in magnesium just to stay ignited- I suspect if you can overcome the ignition issues there’s a chance it would work? But there’s lots of other options for thrust!!
@@DeskPop Could denatured alcohol be used to make larger grains of thermite? would that burn better?
hey im kinda new viewer and i just wanted to say please dont fill plastic bottles with stump remover and gardening substances and then dont use sticky wheelbalancing weights to wrap all around the plastic bottle, because that could create a legal frag grenade
Add magnesium helps speed the reaction gets hotter
It's acetone and Styrofoam that makes it ;)
if you idk mabie got Silicon and mabie fell and dropped some purple powder and they dried on accident mabie just mabie it can mabie light that mix with no problem.
thermite is routinely used to weld rail together. it can indeed melt steel
It welds them by fusing it together with the iron deposited from the reaction…
I'd like to see you try again with other materials, mainly clay or play doh, something already malleable that you can just mix the powder into.... maybe bread dough or something idk.
Railroads use magnesium fuse's.
That’s what I built
You're right, those cuffs are awful. Here's my subscription
Что если использовать металлы с большим удалением в ряду активности? Насколько я помню при достаточной разности смесь может даже самовоспламеняться. В данном случае пластификатор выступал бы как предохранитель не дающий самовоспламениться.
just bget a thermal lance cut through almost anything like butter
"thermite" is a generic term make magnesium thermite it will burn hot enough

"pre-mixed really thin thermite" there is your problem.
dont use the thin stuff that can be used as your "welding-type"
there are videos of thermite really melting through engine blocks
There are various videos of thermite grenades failing to melt through engine blocks..
You also watched me mix thermite; the way thermite ignites you often NEED a thinner mixture to ignite the more coarse mixture.
