THERMITE - USE PLASTER no special oxidizers!

Here I prepare a plaster-aluminum Thermite reaction. The mixture is 108 gr aluminum powder and 204 gr of white plaster powder. The simpliest and cheapest plaster U can get in any hardware store. For example this plaster U need to fill the spaces after mounting dry-wall panels. I did NOT heat up the paster powder to get rid of the crystal-water in it (CaSO4 * 1/2H2O) USE DRY POWDER of course. Dont buy any ready mixtures filled up with sand or so. Forget about any oxidizers and dealers askin' what U wanna do with it. The container for the mixture has been the EMPTY tube of an old German military smoke grenade for exercise purpose. But U can use any other cans and paper-rolls as well, of course. At the end of the reaction U can see a "nugget" consisting of Aluminum and Al-oxide from the aluminum tube, which is still red-hot glowing. - thermite chemistry chemical experiment fireworks liquid metal magnesium torch burning exploding accident went wrong wild-
