I was thinking about picking some up to add to tannerite (as stated on their website). Does anyone know where I can buy some? Thanks. Digital |

Quoted: You're really making Thermite huh? C'mon, tell the truth...[BD] If you really are making Thermite, which is perfectly legal, please use a mesh size considerably larger than 2 microns. Iron oxide's reaction with aluminum that size is very violent. The goal is to have the molten iron [i]stay[/i] in one spot rather than get splashed around. I've had luck with these guys as well as Fire-Fox posted above. [url]www.pyrotek.org[/url] [url]www.skylighter.com[/url] |

I think Tannerite, the stuff you shoot to detonate, already contains aluminium powder. It's basically flash powder. Tanner recommends adding aluminum powder to their Nitrosticks, which is just ammonium nitrate sensitized with nitromethane. You detonate that stuff with a blasting cap. Adding aluminium powder propagates the burning so the Nitrosticks explode at a higher velocity. * By adding other sensitizing agents to the nitrogen, you can increase the MPS (Meters Per Second) dramatically. One such additive is finely derived aluminum particles. Approximately 4% will enhance the pergfomance of the explosive. This mixture is commonly known as "ammonal". A correct measuremnt by volume is provided if requested with your order. [url]http://www.tannerite.com/she_tannerite.html[/url] |

Quoted: of course if making thermite it wont ignite by a match alone you need something like a magnesium ribbon Informational use only of course. I have a few ribbons that I "borrowed" from the Chemistry Lab at my school. You can make rust quickly by placing nails or steel wool in a glass container and then mixing a 1:1 ratio of Chlorox and Vinegar. [i]Informational Purposes Only[/i] |

Quoted: Oh, and Aluminum Powder can be had from paint stores without the odd looks. It is used to give paint a "metallic" shine. Pyrotechnic aluminium is a fine flake product, often called "German Dark" because the powder takes a dark gray color. I'm sure small-sized paint aluminum would work, but the pyrotechnic fine grades are ideal. |

Thermite is legal to own. I know guys who cut steel with it. It's a bitch to light though. Hi-Vel used to sell magnesium ribbon and thermite. I don't know if they still do... At one time I was going to see about adding a few flakes of powdered magnesium to a shotgun round to see if I could duplicate Dragons Breath. I heard it is much more involved than that so I gave up on the idea. I don't mess with mixing stuff..I like my hands and too much.. In addition to that, I know NOTHING about any type of mixes..Hell, I can't even follow a recipe for BBQ chicken! [;)] |
