Thanks! I think with each video it gets a little better as I test out new things and this video was the first one that I really tried to ramp it up. Excited to see what’s to come!
very awesome, first time seeing a chromium thermite. the lower reactivity of chromium oxide could be compensated for with Mg powder instead of Al but that is even harder to acquire.
Do you have any recommendations for where to get Mg,Al,Zr,Zn and other fine mesh metal powders that aren't already covered with oxidation? Maybe stored under lite oil if it's pyrophoric grade..
@@petevenuti7355 aside from getting lucky on on auction site like ebay or etsy, good luck finding one that will sell to you. I am yet to find a website that will.
You could use a small amount of Nano thermite (also known as MIC thermite) to get things going with only a standard fuse. Just be careful about the mixture because depending on the mesh size and composition it can actually become self confining and act like a flash powder. Yes, i do mean that it can result in detonation instead of deflagration. That would be bad as the temperature would still be that of thermite so it would most likely ignite the standard thermite while also spraying it everywhere as a result of the blast. *this is for informational/academic purposes only*
Lots of different thermite reactions out there! Would be interesting to see a collection of different thermite reactions as well as where/if they are used in industry. "This one is used in the railroads for welding thick rails together." "This one is used in Deepsea welding underwater cables" Not going to lie and say i wouldn't be interested in the more energetic ones as well of course.
Your level of production on this video, the quality, and you as a host was amazing. I’m subscribing now, I can’t believe there’s not more people !

I enjoyed your video, but I really would have liked to see the cooled metal remaining to get an idea of how much product you were getting.
Thermite is pretty bright, and it's tempting to stare at it... but....?
j/k. Excellent job, thanks for sharing!
Cool!
