Mark90 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Ah yes the thermite reaction, scorched our chemistry lab roof at school playing with that one, but had a tennis ball sized lump of iron to show for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Bl00dy typical. Never worked when I tried to make it - but it works for someone not trying. Off to fire up my linisher.......... Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hmmm, that reminds me, I think th should go and sweep the workshop The thermite reaction is lots of fun but, like Si, I've always had problems making it work really well.

miketomcat Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 mmmmmmmmmm fire, i likes fire - its warm when camping. now if i take my bench grinder (which i dont have) camping i wont need matches... that should save space? i maybe telling some to suck eggs but if i remember correctly you sould never grind non ferous metals on a bench grinder as particals get stuck in the wheel then expand with the heat of grinding thus causing the wheel to shatter which is nearly as messy as a fire ball mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 wasnt aware of that mike, but then as i dont own a bench let alone a bench grinder i wasnt in a great danger of suffering from it. good info though i'll try & remember for the day my dream of having a workshop comes true.
