Nano-Thermite as an explosive

[Unsecured Coins]

We've heard the claims from the truthers, here's where they get to explain what gives nano thermite it's explosive properties.

Claims must have sources and reference points. Good luck, y'all.

It's just like with ants, you take a magnifying glass and focus the sun on them and they go "poof" and explode and ...

Oh, Piffle. You said thermite, not termite.

The literature for nano-themite calls the burning properties "energetic" and compares the propagation rate (ft/sec) to RDX and other high explosives. Anything supersonic might produce a distinctive "BOOM" but Mackey reminds us that real explosives produce a shock wave via expanding gas and thermite reactions produce little or no gas.

I'm unable to find the link I had to an overview of nano-technology. It wasn't great, but it was something.

Do you mean "super" thermite or "nano" thermite?
"Super nano" thermite or super duper thermite?
Thermite or thermate?
Thermite the way truthers want it to be or thermite the way it is in reality?
The kind of thermite only covert super secret special black Ops use to "pull" a building or the kind of thermite actual demolition experts never use to demolish a structure?
So many choices.
And I thought the magic bullet was something.

[Edx]

Isnt "Super" thermite just a different name for "Nano" Thermite?

Or is Super Thermite just some mythical substance Steven Jones made up as he knows that Nano thermite doesnt actually have the properties capable of performing the way he requires it to?

[Edx]

Im listening to this Dwain Deets (http://sdmegacoalition.blogspot.com/2009/09/progress-in-san-diego-interview-with.html)guy and he is saying that nano thermite is a military grade version of thermite.

Military?

Did or do they actually have anything to do with nano thermite at all?

Of course...................... if you have ice on hand. :D

Hey Al, are you talking about this (http://www.p2pays.org/ref/34/33036.pdf)?

Maybe they've discovered bacon? It cures all known ills.

I don't feel like starting a new thread for this question, and it is somewhat related if slightly off topic:

If the NWO flew planes into the buildings why would they have to explode them too? Wouldn't flying planes into teh buildings and pinning it on Al Qaeda be enough? Why bother exploding the buildings?

We've been asking that for years. Conspiracy addicts have yet to give a good answer to that. In all honesty, though, a lot of where they start from are the misrepresentations of supposed "anomalies" about the collapses, so I don't think a lot of them stop and ask themselves the question you posed.

Well if I had to guess I would say that flying planes into buildings isn't really that big of a deal.
Isn't it a well known fact that if you are in New York city and are on a 20th or above floor your always having to dodge those pesky planes crashing into the building your in?
No? Well ok maybe not.
But I do believe if you ask truthers your question, their heads will explode like in the old scanner movie.
No? Well ok but maybe we can hope.

It has always amused me for years how they always refer to "military grade thermite". As if there is some grading system for thermite like that for eggs or steak.

[Sam.I.Am]

Well I personally have sat on a "Military Grade" toilet seat so anything is possible (it was spring loaded at the hinge so that it wouldn't make a noise if it was accidentally slammed against the toilet).

Because that's the way we roll at the NWO. :cool:

Heh, I must have been on the U-505 a dozen times and can't remember what the toilet looked like.

You were facing the wrong way!

Well there it is. The famed "nanothermite" in action.

You can actually SEE that it takes time to flame from one side of the chip to the other. How is that supposed to pulverize concrete or throw tons of steel hundreds of feet again?

And if you want it to be an incendiary that will melt steel, then how is something that burns like a weak candle for a second going to melt steel for 5 continuous weeks?

This stuff just debunks itself. Twoof movement has out-done itself.

If it was anything like ours were it was made of CRES (stainless steel) and was hard mounted to the sanitary tank, via a ball valve, which was a hard tank (a hard tank is an internal tank that can withstand sea pressure). They had to because the way we got rid of waste was by forcing out the waste with air pressure or, as we called it, blowing sanitaries (http://www.google.com/search?q=blowing+sanitaries&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.google:en-US:official&client=firefox-a).

My first time flushing was an experience because there wasn't a guide on how to flush a submarine toilet so I had to figure it out on my own. What I learned later was roughly 1) add water to the bowl by opening the flushing valve if you had to make a log. 2) use the toilet. 3) open the water valve and then open the ball valve going straight into the tank using the 3' long lever on the side of the toilet. 4) chop up the waste that didn't fit using the ball valve by opening and closing it rapidly. 5) close the ball valve and add a few inches of water to help it seal properly and to keep the smell from the tank filled with poop and urine out of the head.

The other important detail was to never flush the toilet when the "Blowing Sanitaries" sign was hung on the stall door handle. You end up with 150 or so guys worth of poop in your face at a fairly high velocity (also called venting the sans). I never did this but I've seen the aftermath a few times. Not pretty man, not pretty at all... The penalty for doing this is cleaning up the aftermath in the head. Poop dripping from the pipes in the overhead, slippery deck and all. Everyone I've ever known who vented the sans all over themselves was half asleep save one. And I'll save that story for another day but I will tell you that he was the person blowing the tank that he vented upon himself.

Because that's the way we roll at the NWO. :cool:

HA HA HA!!!!!!! That was funny!!!!!!!!!!!
