  • Today we test out thermite grenades against different targets like mail box, gaming computer, tank barrel and propane tank! Don't try this at home! Thermite is hot and too bright to watch at bare eyes so you are going to get hurt if you try this at home!

    Loved that propane tank going up! People don't appreciate just how much is actually in those things. Something like this is a pretty impressive demonstration of just how much energy is there. Honestly, this reminded me of images from 1991 when Saddam Hussein lit the southern Iraqi oilfields on fire to prevent their capture during the Gulf War. Those runaway oil wells shot flames into the sky just like this. Those ones had to be carefully extinguished and capped with huge amounts of concrete. This one, fortunately, will just burn itself out.

    The molten steel left in the end of the tank barrel probably wouldn't cause the barrel to rupture. However, that intense heat inside the barrel kills the metal's heat treatment and weakens it to the point it MAY fail. When it comes to disabling artillery and big guns, troops usually go for the transverse mechanism or the breach. Thermite grenades do wonders on those. Getting one on a tank's engine deck can kill a tank, too.

    If you have access to someone who knows chemistry, you can replace part of the thermite mix with plaster of paris(calcium sulfate) and make a castable thermite.
    The ratios have to be right to make the chemistry right, but you can also change the amount of plaster to control the burn speed.
    We made a high plaster shell and filled it with a faster burning(low plaster) version that gave us a sort of 'shaped charge' that would considerate the heat in one spot and consume it'self completely over time.
    Maybe you can have fun with this idea.

    The "heat thing" is a "heat pipe" it is a tiny copper pipe with a drop of water. heat turns the water in it to steam, and it condenses on the cold side (the cooler fins) and the it returns back to the heat side as a water drop again. They are super effective.
    Seems to me that too much heat makes it explode. Yikes!

    Since most of your igneous forces are being wasted on the open atmosphere, have you ever tried igniting it from the bottom of the cannister? It seems to stand as as a reasonable method by which to increase the efficacy of your efforts. I am only guessing, but I believe it might be worth a trial attempt. Separated layers of base material might be useful as a test medium, much like wooden barriers are used for bullet penetration tests, but indexed to the vertical. Good video, thanks.
