When making thermite it is best to use iron 3 oxide Fe2O3 or rust. Burning steel wool makes black iron 2 oxide or FeO. I don't think this works well for thermite reaction.
Ah, mate, I love how resourceful you are. Anything doesn’t go as planned, and your ingenuity immediately solves it. I’m glad I found your channel. Cheers!
Its terrifiying if thermite is produce in a large amount with just a few grams it can light up and becomes really hot and imagine with what a full beaker of thermite can do, but thats a great way of explaining how its actually made
you can also burn steel wool using electric. anyone who has used a model train set knows that using steel wool on the tracks while the power supply is connected and on knows that the steel wool will burn as it shorts the tracks. most train power supplies have short circuit protection built in so it will shut down. i think lithium fires are thermitic (if that is a word) they are very difficult to put out and often reignite hours or even days later and consumes many thousands of gallons of water and fire fighting foam when an electric car goes up in flames.
This dude is straight up making old school RUclips videos. I love it. But if you wanna monetize your videos, they need to be at least 10 minutes long I’ve heard
Thanks! Speaking of monetization, I just got monetized like an hour ago. The videos need to be at least 8 minutes long for mid-roll ads but apparently I can still earn from ads in the beginning and end of videos.👍
@@SomethingAbtScience that’s awesome! If you can make money doing this, I feel like you’re experiments would get better and better. Plus you would learn a lot more.
Good video, but „.. turn steel back into iron“ at 3:58 could be misunderstood, but that‘s not a problem of the video, it‘s a problem of metallurgy „Iron“ the name of almost pure ferrum, but iron is also the name of 2,06% + carbon ferrum Steel is all between (like casting iron) Steel most likely never was pure iron, because pure iron is unnatural, like almost everything almost pure Misleading metallurgy I still give a like, bc it‘s a good video, very smart and nobody can think about everything
What on earth are you talking about? "Steel most likely never was pure iron, because pure iron is unnatural, like almost everything almost pure" - no one has said that steel was pure iron. Indeed the point of steel is it's iron with additives ('impurities', if you like) which give it various characteristics.
Wait, pure iron has low demand because it's not very useful without carbon content, so if this converts steel back into iron. Doesn't that mean you could get a bunch of shitty low grade steel and convert it back into iron, then sell it at a markup. What IS this alchemy!? 4:12 ATF: WRITE THAT DOWN! WRITE THAT DOWN!
It'd be better to just melt the "shitty low-grade steel" and create new ingots. Doing this won't give you much at a small scale, but good luck if you start a successful metal recycling plant!

Good to know
i mean he did extract the reddish powder which is rust so
would the reaction still work?
Isn’t there iron wool?
@@ihateyou1379 yeah
This kid has a very distinctive voice. If the chemistry thing doesn’t work out, he could always switch to doing voiceovers and narration.
he sounds like Johnny Depp
For real dude voice is so nice.
Relaxed vocals, clear annunciation, very few ums or uhhs. A couple of voice acting classes. This kid has a career
Pursuing a career that requires brains and/or skills is so much better than lazily cashing in on your genetics.
@@pimpofallsimps8413he sounds exactly like Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke in Fear and loathing in Las Vegas
"That was a joke and I'm kidding" got me so good. You're the man, keep it up.
The laser is what intrigued me the most. 😂
That voice and the DIY nature gave me some ididathing vibes but with chemistry, instantly subscribed

bro gave us a boring thermite fire and then decides to blow up a tv to make the video more entertaining.. i love it
I actually tried to do this a while ago, but never got ignition. good job getting it to work. subbed.
This is an excellent chemistry channel
just stumbled across your channel.. love the videos.
Worlds smallest thermite reaction!
Your commentary is gonna win you more viewers. Keep it up.
Great video 👍
Nice, i will try this during zombie apocalypse
A regular sparkler is a great fuse
i can be trusted with this knowledge!

In the old days we used a little strip of magnesium burning to light it. No lasers. (Lasers are cooler)

Rip to the ants living there 😭
3:40 butane lighter can ignite magnesium , which can ignite termite. But, you gonna need to run very fast.
Laser is much safer.
Yeah, that's what the old cookbook used to recommend was igniting it with magnesium strips
DAMN
kaboom
Tetanus comes from stuff in the dirt usually not rust so your probably fine
How to make the high powered laser?
I wish lol
I bought that one; not sure where exactly, but there are many sources.
2:20 you should do it with magnet
He's cute
Good video, but „.. turn steel back into iron“ at 3:58 could be misunderstood, but that‘s not a problem of the video, it‘s a problem of metallurgy
„Iron“ the name of almost pure ferrum, but iron is also the name of 2,06% + carbon ferrum
Steel is all between (like casting iron)
Steel most likely never was pure iron, because pure iron is unnatural, like almost everything almost pure
Misleading metallurgy

@@gurglejug627 he said „turning steel back into iron“ and that this remaining drops were „pure iron“
Learn to listen and watch again
@@TB-wi3sq I haven't stated, quoted, argued or inferred anything about was said in the video - I quoted a comment made, which was nonsensical.
i wanna see what he used to blow up the tv
Ammonium perchlorate and the Al powder, which totally doesn't require a license or anything
Bro can I get a link to the aluminum website?
It says “pyro chem source” on the top of the label

@@geo3106 Collecting loose change
I heard it was used for field repairs of cast iron structures in the old days.
if iron (or anything) is in low demand then how could anyone reasonably make a profit by selling it? Have I missed something?
@@gurglejug627 ir9n isn't usually pure. Cast iron is very h8gh in carbon, just not the kind in steel. Any iron or steel is useful for recycling.
omg im subscribing and liking please dont blow me
BLOW ME UP* I SWEAR I MEANT BLOWW ME UP NOOOOOOOOOO
You've just saved me and yourself from a nice blow by subscribing. Appreciate it😂
Was that also thermite that exploded the tv? (Asking for a friend) (im not a terrorist)
😂Nah, it was a type of flash powder.
