How much Nanothermite is needed to bring down the towers/How was it used?

[FactCheck]

Can anyone calculate the amount of nanothermite (Specifically the one Jones refers to in his paper) would be needed to bring down the towers. I suspect even that would be a massive amount. Am I right? Are we looking at tons here? The "No resistance" theory" suggests all the columns would need to be cut going all the way down the tower according to the conspiracy industry story. Would it also have to go around each hollow column?

[Sword_Of_Truth]

I think before you do that, you would need to demonstrate that nano-thermite charges can cut vertical columns like the kind used in the WTC.

The no-resistance theory has been debunked repeatedly. You would only need thermite on one floor. But then you need the remote control plane to make sure it hits that floor. Then you need the right guys in place in AA and UA maintenance to set things up. Then you need poisen gas in the cockpit or to disable the radios remotely. God this is getting complicated.

Nevermind, thermite on all the floors. I calculated it on another thread but I'm to lazy to look for it. I based the calc on Greenings which should still hold. He has revised his number for the impact level based on smaller columns, but I did it based on weight.

[FactCheck]

I think before you do that, you would need to demonstrate that nano-thermite charges can cut vertical columns like the kind used in the WTC.

An important point in a debate but I am looking for more than that. If you need an insane amount then it doesn't matter if it can cut through or not. As with the thermite calculation, if the floors can't hold the amount of thermite then it doesn't matter if it works or not. If nano-thermite release canasters have to go around the columns on all four sides then it doesn't matter if it works or not. Nothing is protruding out of the sides or outer face of the columns. Videos and photos show nothing.

Nano-thermite, not thermite. I already have those calculations.

[Laeke]

Does nano-thermite even exist?

I think that once faced with another debunking, Jones would switch to the next denomination: mega, invisible, black energy...

Beyond that, no clue. I thought the whole "nanothermite" thing was created to explain away certain questions regarding therm*te.

[1337m4n]

Better question: what is even MEANT by "nano-thermite"?


Nano: Extremely small.

Thermite: a mixture of aluminum powder and a metal oxide


So...extremely small powder?

1) Extremely small
2) Powder

Very, very interesting admission by Jones et al upon questioning via email by Dr. Greening...

So when I bounced my calculations and conclusions off Jones et al, all he could come up with was the suggestion that there were probably other explosives used in the WTC and the nanothermite chips were maybe just fuses!



http://the911forum.freeforums.org/active-thermitic-material-in-wtc-dust-t150-30.html

Yes you read it correctly, Jones seems to be back tracking, CONSIDERABLY, to declare that the last several years of thermite talk, has been for Explosive "FUSES"!!!!

I am speechless.

TAM:)

To answer Fact Check's question, first you would have to explain how conventional explosives could take down the buildings without making any noise. :D

[Lupie]

On more than a few occasions, I demonstrated the proper use and safe deployment of thermite grenades. You place a T.G. into the breechblock of an artillery piece, and quickly trip the extractor catch to close the breech. The T.G. would weld the breechblock to the main part of the gun, rendering it unserviceable. In other demonstrations I would insert the T.G. into the muzzle of an artillery piece or the muzzle of the main gun on a main battle tank.

The thermite would usually melt enough of the inner bore of the weapon to the point where any safe, effective, or accurate fire was impossible. Most of the time the thermite did not completely burn/melt through the steel of the gun breechblock or barrel. Also, and this should be obvious, but truthers will not accept this fact-all the T.G.'s I demonstrated burned and melted in one direction-DOWN.

A military thermite grenade has a hard time melting through a gun barrel with a one inch wall thickness, and it only melts/burns in a downward direction due to gravity. The stuff is not exactly suited for building demolitions. But, what do I know, I only actually handled and deployed the stuff. I'm sure some CIT/Truther lackey will come along and scold me because I've never heard of "nano" this, or "nano" that.

The key question is are you trying to construct a method of collapse AND implement it from zero base OR do you want to model what actually happened?

If the former - others can answer but the collapse would not resemble what actually happened - explanation/support if needed.

If you are trying to replicate the actual collapse then you need to be clear on the two stages (or three - depends on how we draw the lines)

The two stages are:
1) "Causing the Initial Collapse" i.e. doing whatever is needed to cause the "Top Block" to start to fall; AND
2) "Causing the Global collapse".

If we ignore the reality that neither needed thermate then:

The first stage of initial collapse is the one to focus on.

The end point of that stage had the Top Block moving downwards with all the uncut columns severely weakened by whatever process. All must have been buckled or bent and therefore incapable of taking the original design load (Note that at this point most of the so called leading protagonists are already getting hot under the collar because reality has already removed the underpinnings from Szamboti; Chandler; Greening and the shallow reading of Bazant.)

Now as details lots of the weakened columns have to bow inwards as they fail AND, incidentally, set the scene for the top block to wedge itself inside the outer tube of the lower structure.

Now the easiest way to achieve this with thermate is to cut the lower chords of lots of floor joists. And they are only 1or2 inches. The only "magic" is how to have thermate on them given that the ones in the impact zone have been sand blasted clean by a ruddy big aeroplane breaking up into shredded aluminium. So fixing it pre collision is difficult. The most practical way to do it in my opinion would be by a team of fire suited suicide workers doing it immediately after the collision and keeping away from being seen by dozens of video cameras.

Notice that it is extremely difficult to answer the question without hitting one or more of the incredulity barriers surrounding any "pro demolition" argument.

So I will take a break from the drift into humour.

The real issue is that your question of :"How much Nanothermite..." depends entirely on how it is to be used.

An NONE of the pro nano thermite exponents have the slightest idea how it could be used.

So you cannot answer "How much?" until you know "How?"

"They" won't and cannot say how - can you? I have tried and the above ridiculous "Method" is still the only structural model I can accept as practical for Therm*te and nano doesn't change it even if it is a high explosive cutting device. And the reasons against that idea are too many for one relatively brief post. Summary however is "There is no evidence of cutting explosives aiding any demolition as part of the collapse which actually happened." Note there may be other possible models but none relate to what actually happened. Hypothetical fantasies.

One author of the paper says it would take 10 to 100 tons of n-t.

Statistically for it to show up on 100% of randomly chosen samples of dust from all over Manhattan, I'd say it needed to be plenty more.

And on a sidenote, truthers doesn't just argue that thermite (nano, super, or ExtraEverything) were used to cut. I'm actually debating a truther that claims nanothermite explain the "melted steel" in the rubble pile, and the fact that it burned for months. He thinks that the fact that the fires re-ignited when the clearup-teams dug into the pile, is best explained by "the material had nano-thermite painted on it".

[jhunter1163]

My feeling is that if you filled the WTC floor-to-ceiling you still wouldn't melt the structure.

There's only 1 truther that ever made any sense to me, He is also an SE.

He said that you'd only need to remove some/most/all of the horizontal floor beams in the core areas, resulting in long unbraced columns, which would then buckle easier.

This also eliminates the "horizontal cutting" part.

Well Red Kryptonite is unpredictable so it would be no good, Green is good but it only has limited effect, but Gold Kryptonite takes away any super-strength permanently so that would be perfect.

Hej, now your talkin. You could cut holes in the floor over the beams which would hold the 100 micron thick thermite in place while it heated the beam and raised the temp by 5 deg C. Down she comes...not.

I came across a recent (at least recent to me) claim that it wouldn't take very much at all. The reasoning was the towers were coming down anyways, so all they needed was a very little amount. So little it would be undetectable.

There's no reasoning with that sort of logic.

[Macgyver1968]

How much nano-superduper-ifyouputnanoinfrontofaworditgivesitssuperabilities-thermite?

As much as the voices in your head tell you.

[KreeL]

Logically, the people that put the nano-thermite there built a model somewhere and knew exactly what it would take and how to do it. From experience, it didn't take NIST very long, or very much money, to build a model and try to get the floors to sag to collapse initiation with heat (failed). So logically, one could say a black ops mission with more funds could do the same thing and try out methods to achieve the desired results. Logically, they would likely be the only ones on the planet with liberal access to the technologies used.

An additional thought would go well with this. The planners had to know that a plane would not knock the towers over or destroy them. Why else would they bother with nano-tech? Furthermore, they had to know in advance what it would take to destroy them deceptively, or they would have just loaded in massive quantitives of RDX and a couple bunker busters.

They do! You could look it up. It's in a journal. And Doctor Jones is the smartest scientificist type person in the whole world. Yeah, he is!

[Panoply_Prefect]

Hi!

Up until recently the main explanation afaik of how the thermite were used in WTC, was as special strategically placed "cutter-charges", eg small charges that would horisontally cut of beams etc to weaken the structure (let's not get into if thats even possible)

Now the focus is changing towards painted on "nano-thermite". Has any truther, preferably one of the authors, made any attempt to actually apply this new culprit in some sort of scenario? Or are they still "just asking questions"?

Something in the lines of "Well, they painted it on all the steel so that when the kerosene hit it, it would heat the beams with just over 200 degrees celsius, just sufficient enough to make them bend..." or something?

I pointed out Hoffman's math blunders in another thread. Interestingly he thinks that they only needed explosives on every OTHER floor thus implicitly excepting that the collapsing mass of one floor can crush the one below it. Why then he rejects the notion that the combined mass of two or more floors with greater velocity would need any help crushing the fllors below them is beyond me.

Appeal to false authority. Though Hoffman is quite a credible software engineer he didn't reach his conclusions using any sort of computer modelling, he doesn't even seem to have used a simple 4 function calculator. It was pure speculation.

Why do you call it super-nano-nano-thermite? Hoffman's hypothesis is still plausible given the scope of what was needed.

1.8 million tiles and every one, EVERY (RULE10)ING ONE, went off the way it was supposed to? The NWO is GOOD!

Why do you call it super-nano-nano-thermite?
because its a made up term; and made up substance because the authors are frauds.

no it isn't. as demosntrated by several tests, THERMITE isn't an efficient means to cutting through ANYTHING.

I fail to see why every single one would have to. Surely a few didn't.

Now that is surely a Stundie candidate.:p

None were found. Where'd they go if they weren't 100% reliable?

[KreeL]

Of course, and since ceiling tiles weren't found, what happened to them? Were they obliterated like everything else? I suggest you put the debris under a microscope and see where they went. Oh wait....Dr. Harritt already did that.

Nice quote mine, and out of context

not even a stundie.

[FactCheck]

Some of you asked some good questions. One question was what collapse would I like to calculate. I would like to calculate both the way the towers fell and the way the conspiracy industry said it fell. That includes the thermite which kept the steel molten for months. I like to put an exclamation point on the absurdity. :)
