View Full Version : Top 10 Connections between NIST and Nanothermite

Looks like Waterboy opened up another hydrant of stupid. Clearly, there is no such thing as "Sol-gel nanothermites, [...]often called energetic nanocomposites, metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) or superthermite."

And there certainly are no connections between the industry that produces these products, NIST, or the 9/11 Commission.

Obviously, if anyone would be in a position to recognize if nanothermites were used, it would be NIST. So when they told us they didn't look for evidence of explosives because it wasn't there, they closed the case on this one.

But, IMO, a superb proof.

Thank you Ron for both your patience and equanimity in dealing with this subject.

I am owner and trainer of a K9 training and deployment company in FL. We have been breeding, training and deploying our purpose bred explosive detection and SAR dogs for over 40 years as well as training K9's for the Military, LE and private industry.

In addition we are a FEMA Incident Response Team/First Responder K9 unit for FEMA Task Force II, Miami.

It was in the latter capacity that we were went to NY on 9/11 as part of the FL Task Force, arriving on scene about 3 1/2 hours after the second tower fell. We went with 4 of our dogs and handlers. Our main function was US&R, live person, (not cadaver search) but all of our dogs are cross trained in several disciplines, including EDD and Incendiary detection. In addition, of the over 300 K9 teams that came from all over the world, there were more than 70 other EDD K9's present on site. This is on top of the 6 full time EDD dogs employed full time at the WTC site, 3 of which I had trained personally. Besides the presence of the normal team that patrolled in shifts 24/7, there had been an ADDITIONAL team of 16 explosives interdiction K9's on duty for several weeks prior to the attack. They were there in response to bomb threats against the center (unrelated) and had only been removed 5 days prior to the attack. 6 of those dogs were also trained by our company.

No explosives or incendiary devices were planted anywhere in that complex. None. Our dogs and the other EDD K9's would have alerted after the fact as well. It's what they are trained for. We staged for the two weeks we were there at the Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island. This is where much of the structural steel was brought. Despite rumors to the contrary, chain of custody was maintained and virtually all of the steel was cataloged and vital pieces were inspected. Not a single dog ever alerted to the presence of either explosives or incendiary residue.
Not one.

...

I'm not a scientist, but I am an expert on explosives/incendiaries, their use and detection both before and after detonation. I've testified as an expert witness more than 70 times at court proceedings on explosives detection, K9 training protocol and K9 scent differrention capability.

No explosives or incendiaries were present at the Trade Center on 9/11.

Exactly. Look at this stupid quote.


“The sol-gel process is very amenable to dip-, spin-, and spray-coating technologies to coat surfaces. We have utilized this property to dip-coat various substrates to make sol-gel Fe,O,/ Al / Viton coatings. The energetic coating dries to give a nice adherent film. Preliminary experiments indicate that films of the hybrid material are self-propagating when ignited by thermal stimulus”
(Gash et al 2002).

I prepared a sol-gel ceramic years ago in my work and one of the key aspects of preparation was that after coating the substrate, the sol (solution) had to be dried or fired to drive out the solvent. The firing had to be done in a controlled fashion in order to get the desired microstructure, you couldn't just let it sit at room temperature or hit it with a hair dryer. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sol-gel a few paragraphs down for more on the drying step.

The idea that a sol-gel material could be applied to the steel in the WTC and then properly fired is ridiculous on so many levels I don't know where to start. Vaporizing hundreds of pounds of solvent in an office building with no one noticing is only one of the problems.

So the answer to your question, WildCat, is no, not much.

WildCat
23rd October 2009, 11:13 AM
Exactly. Look at this stupid quote.
The "stupid" part comes not from the existence of such material in a lab, but the idea that every square inch of the WTC was sprayed with this stuff, nobody said anything or noticed anything suspicious, and that it was capable of destroying the towers. Again, without anyone noticing that, for example, a steel truss was on fire.

Incredibly, unbelievably, unfathomably stupid. And I've only scratched the surface as to why.

When NIST wrote their FAQ they only talked about thermite. That's because at the time, twoofers hadn't dreamt up there nanoo thermite yet.

NIST could not have imagined the stupidity of twoofers to come up with this stuff, and it's probably because of NIST's experience with "nanothermite" (do they even have any?) that they knew it could never have been applied to a building demolition.

The stupid part is that a millimeter thick coat of nano-thermite is going to blow through a steel beam. It would do nothing more than make a bright flash. Try taking some gun powder and spreading it out on the floor and tossing a match to it. It will not blow a hole in your floor. It might take off your eyebrows though.

ABEL: But how can you know there’s no evidence if you don’t look for it first?

NEUMAN: If you’re looking for something that isn’t there, you’re wasting your time….

Neuman's absolutely right. Truthers claim that "Nano-thermite" is there, but then when the findings from previous tests only tell us that there was no "nano-thermite" in the dust.

Has David Ray Griffin, Steven Jones or Richard Gage actually tested the dust samples themselves?

Even if there was "nano-thermite" it would'nt leave a trace of itself once it's burned.

We're talking about particules of aluminum dust & iron rust that are microscopic that you'd have to find them with a microscope.

Microscopic particules burn out in a fraction of a second.

So to say that the Towers were brought down by "nano-thermite" is looking rather stupid & idiotic to even bring up in a conversation.

A nano is "one billionth" the size of regular dust particules.

So, as I understand it, the truthers have narrowed down their WTC thermite options to:

2) it acted as a (pointless) ignition source for conventional explosives

Here's what Sol-Gel nano's look like under the microscope:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7a/Coll_1.jpg/300px-Coll_1.jpg
SEM micrograph of amorphous colloidal silica particles (average particle diameter 600 nm) precipitated in basic solution from TEOS using ammonium hydroxide as a morphological catalyst.

The sol-gel process is a wet-chemical technique (a.k.a. chemical solution deposition) widely used recently in the fields of materials science and ceramic engineering. Such methods are used primarily for the fabrication of materials (typically a metal oxide) starting from a chemical solution which acts as the precursor for an integrated network (or gel) of either discrete particles or network polymers. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides, which undergo various forms of hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions. The formation of a metal oxide involves connecting the metal centers with oxo (M-O-M) or hydroxo (M-OH-M) bridges, therefore generating metal-oxo or metal-hydroxo polymers in solution. Thus, the sol evolves towards the formation of a gel-like diphasic system containing both a liquid phase and solid phase whose morphologies range from discrete particles to continuous polymer networks.

The interest in sol-gel processing can be traced back in the mid-1880s with the observation that the hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) under acidic conditions led to the formation of SiO2 in the form of fibers and monoliths. Sol-gel research grew to be so important that in the 1990s more than 35,000 papers were published worldwide on the process.

So, as I understand it, the truthers have narrowed down their WTC thermite options to:

1) it was sprayed on

2) it acted as a (pointless) ignition source for conventional explosives

I'm not sure which is dumber.

It was sprayed on.

A tested reply assurance OK and go on.

Try to find far away columns that are hily misterious. Simply put, you want material you see in container to not see after aplycation. When aplying material sweep the stroke over entire area from illusion edged to neck widow. This sweep will be base application first slowly and is to complete job reduce strain energy tender forearms. It will prevent creasing etc etc.

They must've sprayed some magical pixie dust, oh I'm sorry Truthers, it wasn't pixie dust but Nano-thermite *cough* pixie dust *cough* that they put on the support columns.

But then the mystery really thickens, or does it?, that the application of sol-gel on the columns weren't noticed in the dust.

Could it possibly be that the sprayed on nano-thermite is really an invisibility cloak in order to hide the particules in the dust?

There you have it, sprayed on nano-thermite is actually a invisibility spray that transforms into nothing & is shown as nothing in the tests results.

Who said every square inch of the WTC was sprayed with the stuff? Exaggeration is a sign of desperation.

Is there a connection between NIST and nanothermites? Yes or no.

are you asking if there 7 or fewer degrees of separation between the organization known as NIST and the material known as nano-thermite?

Probably not eh RI? After all asking such a question would be patently stupid.

I live in a small town in the center of Canada, I have a diploma in electronic technology yet I have relatively few degrees of separation to the substance in question.

I went to university in Ottawa. I lived in a suite in the university residence and was friendly with the others in the suite including a chemistry major who was working on his masters degree. In the summer he worked for the USN (he was a US citizen). He worked with other military chemistry Ph.D.'s some of whom had previously worked for the Air Force and specifically on incidiaries. I don't know if they were thermite based but even if they were not these guys would know the people who were.

Besides, theere's an "N" in the name of the town I live in!!!1!!!!!:eek:

So, does the paper explain how much heat energy would be imparted to the steel by a millimeter coating of thermite(of any flavour), accross say a specific surface area, and how this would be enough to cause said WTC steel columns to be compromised in any way?

How can I exaggerate what you haven't claimed? Got any claims RedIbis? No? Then I'm free to make assumptions based on your cowardly open-ended posting style.

No, NIST did not develop nano-thermite to blow up the WTC and then claim it was done by airplanes when they were tasked to investigate the collapses..

It is my belief that only someone either incredibly stupid or mentally ill would believe such a thing. You don't believe that, do you Red?

It's a phrase that doesn't makes sense on it's own, and particularly not in the context of this thread where there's been absolutely nothing presented to make anyone feel remotely "desperate" about anything.

Par for course for the level of argumentation we get from RedIbis. He might as well have just said "Reading these words is a sign of you being wrong".

This is simply amazing. The amount of research on nano-thermite is so much more than I ever imagined. It's going on everywhere. It almost seems that the entire US scientific community is mobolized around the idea of advancements in nanothermite. No wonder the technology was so developed in 2001 that it could be used to demolish the largest building in the world.

How are these scientists connected to the actual demolishion of the WTC? Which ones produced the thermite that was used? Name some names. It's amazing how quite the thermite community is staying on this considering they must have deep understanding of what happened that day. Any ideas on why that could be?

I'm so glad you posted this document again. I feel so much convinced knowing that nano-thermite research is so much more developed than I ever imagined.

Looks like Waterboy opened up another hydrant of stupid. Clearly, there is no such thing as "Sol-gel nanothermites, [...]often called energetic nanocomposites, metastable intermolecular composites (MICs) or superthermite."

And there certainly are no connections between the industry that produces these products, NIST, or the 9/11 Commission.

Obviously, if anyone would be in a position to recognize if nanothermites were used, it would be NIST. So when they told us they didn't look for evidence of explosives because it wasn't there, they closed the case on this one.

No, no...no sarcasm here. That's why I'm going to give our Truther friends a hand. You don't need an 'official' investigation to get good stuff going. Let's start compiling a list of all the thermite experts in the USA. Then we can start reading their technical research and figure out who's been working on the spray on thermite.

"...the amazing correlation between floors of impact and floors of apparent failure suggests that spray-on nano-thermite materials may have been applied to the steel components of the WTC buildings, underneath the upgraded fireproofing."

Let's play a game and change the words.
