Thermite is a
powerful substance which can burn through
almost anything, even tungsten, and here is how to
make it……

First, you need hematite. Hematite is Iron Oxide, in rock form.
If
you don’t want to buy it, you can make it by electrolizing a
nail. (An iron nail).
to
electrolyze the iron nail, place it in a jar of water which
has a couple teaspoons of salt
dissolved in it. Then, get a DC power
source, like a train transformer, and attatch the
positive wire to
the nail, and attatch the negative wire to another nail and place that

in the glass of water, as far from the positive nail as possible. Let
this run overnight. />
While that is going, you have to get some Aluminum filings or
Aluminum powder. You
can get this by filing an Aluminum bar. You also
might be able to find this at a hardware
store. It is called Duralumin.
If you choose to use the bar, it has to be more than 90%
pure.
(The bar method is easier and 90% is not hard to find.)

In the morning, get
the jar and you will see a dark, red shit in
The glass of water. Filter the water through a
coffe filter and
collect all the red stuff. This is RUST!! Throw the water away.
Get an
iron pot or pan and heat the red stuff until it is a
light red and dry.

When it
is cool, mix the two together. There should be 8
grams of rust to 3 grams of Aluminum, and
that’s thermite.

Now, how to set it off.
You must get a length of Magesium
Ribbon. You have to put the
Magnesium into the pile of thermite. The Magnesium is a kind of
wick,
which burns white hot!! You can get them from Chemical Supply houses.
All you have
to do is light the Magnesium. This
can be done with a small torch like they sell at Radio
Shack. The
ribbon should be at least 9 inches long. You can try rocket wick,
but it
usually is not hot enough to set off the thermite.

When the Magnesium burns down to the
Thermite, it will ignite
and burn the shit out of anything around it. KEEP BACK!!!

Thermite can vaporize Carbon Steel. Think what it would do
to your skin?? Fucking OUCH!!!! />

Creation of my favorite, thermite!

Thermite is a powerful substance which can burn through most anything save
tungsten. It
is especially of use in trying to crack open "fortress fone’s".
Now here’s how you
make it. It is very simple.
The first step in making thermite is to make hematite. In
layman’s
terms, hematite is iron oxide ( rust ). Here is a good method of making large

amounts of rust. You will electrolyze a metal rod, such as a common nail.
You will need a
source of DC power as well. An electric train transformer is
perfect. Attach the metal to the
POSITIVE wire. Then place the metal and the
negative wire in opposite sides of a glass jar
filled with water and salt.
just enough to make it conduct well ( a teaspoon is about right[of
salt] ).
Let the jar sit overnight. In the morning, there will be a dark red coating
of
crud in the jar. Filter ( or fish ) it out with a spoon.
Now you will need to dry the stuff
out. Heat it in an iron pot until
it all turns a nice light red.
One other ingredient
that you will need is aluminum filings. You can
either file down a bar of aluminum, or ( as I
suggest ) buy aluminum filings
at your local hardware shop. NOTE:If you buy the bar use no
less than 94%
pure aluminum. It is called duralumin.
Thats almost it. Now you must mix
together the rust and aluminum
filings. The ratio should be eight grams ( 8 ) of rust per
three ( 3 ) grams
of aluminum filings. That’s thermite!
Now, to light it! Stick a length
of magnesium ribbon in a pile of the
thermite. NOTE:Local hardware stores should have it.
Chemical supply houses
will, its pretty cheap stuff.
The ribbon should stick into the
thermite like a fuse. Now you light
the magnesium with a blowtorch. Do not worry. The torch is
not hot enough to
light the thermite. When the burning magnesium reaches the thermite, it
will
light. When the thermite burns, RUN AWAY! That stuff can vaporize carbon
steel!
