Thermite II... or A better way to make Thermite

Thermite is nasty shit. Here is a good and easy way to make it.

The first step is to get some iron-oxide (which is RUST!). Here is

a good way to make large quantities in a short time:

- Get a DC convertor like the one used on a train set. Cut the

connector off, seperate the wires, and strip them both.

- Now you need a jar of water with a tablespoon or so of sodium

chloride (which is SALT!) added to it. This makes the water

conductive.

- Now insert both wires into the mixture (I am assuming you

plugged the convertor in...) and let them sit for five minutes.

One of them will start bubbling more than the other. This is the

POSITIVE(+) wire. If you do not do this test right, the final

product will be the opposite (chemically) of rust, which is RUST

ACID. You have no use for this here (although it IS useful!).

- Anyway, put the nail tied to the positive wire into the jar. Now

put the negative wire in the other end. Now let it sit overnight

and in the morning scrape the rust off of the nail & repeat until

you got a bunch of rust on the bottom of the glass. Be generous

with your rust collection. If you are going through the trouble of

making thermite, you might as well make a lot, right?

- Now remove the excess water and pour the crusty solution onto a

cookie sheet. Dry it in the sun for a few hours, or inside

overnight. It should be an orange-brown color (although I have

seen it in many different colors! Sometimes the color gets fucked

up, what can I say... but it is still iron oxide!)

- Crush the rust into a fine powder and heat it in a cast-iron pot

until it is red. Now mix the pure iron oxide with pure alluminum

filinos which can be bought or filed down by hand from an aluminum

tube or bar. The ratio or iron oxide to aluminum is 8 grams to 3

grams.

- Congrats! You have just made THERMITE! Now, to light it...

- Thermite requires a LOT of heat (more than a blow torch!) to

ignite. However, a magnesium ribbon (which is sorta hard to find..

call around) will do the trick. It takes the heat from the

burning magnesium to light the thermite.

- Now when you see your victim's car, pour a fifty-cent sized pile

onto his hood, stick the ribbon in it, and light the ribbon with

the blow torch. Now chuckle as you watch it burn through the hood,

the block, the axle, and the pavement. BE CAREFUL! The ideal

mixtures can vaporize CARBON STEEL! Another idea is to use

thermite to get into pay phone cash boxes. HAVE FUN!!
