How To Title: Cooking Hamburgers With Thermite Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 22. Ok,so what's the big deal,other than watching carefully to make sure you don't burn it? I used to heat C-Rations and boil coffee using C-4 plastic explosives all the time.

#9. To: Stoner (#8) He is not BS, but he thinks he knows things he knows very little about.
#10. To: no gnu taxes (#9) He (sneakypete) is not BS, but he thinks he knows things he knows very little about. Which applies to most of us, including me.. Do you know something about explosives that most don't? Can you tell us?
#13. To: tpaine (#10) Well,fires are nothing but slow-motion explosions,and explosions are nothing more than VERY fast moving fires. That was the original comment and my response. I didn't want to go beyond that. The simplest example I can think about of a non combustion explosion is over inflating a tire till the point the tire explodes. I have heard of people liberally having their head taken off because of this. Nitroglycerin is an example of a non-combustion chemical reaction causing an explosion. Nitro has very unstable chemical bonds, and when those bonds are released, it releases an enormous amount of energy. This could happen in the complete absence of oxygen. A fire is normally considered to be the combustion of an organic material (i.e. a quick oxidation of of the organic material). Beyond that, it becomes an argument of semantics. I think I am done with this anyway.
#14. To: no gnu taxes (#13) The simplest example I can think about of a non combustion explosion is over inflating a tire till the point the tire explodes. The tire explodes because of the heat created by the pressure put on the hydrogen in the oxygen. Hydrogen does not like being compressed,and WILL seek it's freedom to expand. X amount of space can only occupy y amount of volume before expansive things start to happen and loud noises are made.
#15. To: sneakypete (#14) he tire explodes because of the heat created by the pressure put on the hydrogen in the oxygen There is no hydrogen in oxygen. You are just babbling now. I'm done with this.
#18. To: no gnu taxes (#15) There is no hydrogen in oxygen. You are just babbling now. No moisture in oxygen? Seriously? What is the chemical symbol for water?
#19. To: sneakypete (#18) Okay, I'm really impressed by your knowledge of chemical oxidation-reduction reactions and your knowledge of explosive ordinance devices. You make Einstein sound like Maxine Waters. I'm just some dumb ass country boy who only had around 20 hours of college level chemistry, so what do I know anyway. Satisfied? Let's move on.
#20. To: no gnu taxes (#19) I'm just some dumb ass country boy who only had around 20 hours of college level chemistry, WOW! 20 WHOLE HOURS OF THEORY! so what do I know anyway. You seem to know a lot of stuff,but understand little of what you know. Don't listen to me,though. What do I know,I'm just a guy that spent years handling and setting off explosives.
#21. To: sneakypete (#20) You seem to know a lot of stuff,but understand little of what you know. I wish I could make you understand just how stupid a lot of the stuff you posted was.
#22. To: no gnu taxes (#21) I wish I could make you understand just how stupid a lot of the stuff you posted was. Why,so I could be as wrong as you?
