Burn Notice...

[lil red jeep]

was on t.v. today. Some sort of marathon. A really good show, but they did something on the show today I was totally unaware even existed. On the episode, they put what I think was a coffee can of stuff on the hood of a classic Pontiac GTO and lit it off. THe contents of the can was called "Thermite" and as it burned, it proceeded to eat through the hood and all the way through the engine block!

So I'm thinking it was just some Hollywood garbage and then I googled it! This stuff is real and not at all hard to make in your garage. Now I'm looking for an old engine..... I'll keep you posted!:eek:

Actually it can be used to weld things such as train tracks. It does have a purpose.;)

I just hope someone doesn't go off in left field with another 9/11 conspiracy.

supposedly all the neat tricks they show you on that show are really do-able.

also, it is the best new show on tv!

yes the stuff is real we have grenades used to distroy equipment that are the same thing. The Military has had them for years. Most of explosives and such could be made from the home just to let you know can get you ina little trouble making it in your house. You might want to check local ordanance Laws and Such and some of the stuff they use are listed material.

TimKan is right a real incedinary grenade burns at 5000+ degrees
I heard a rumor in Sapper School that you can mix Gas and Frozen OJ concentrate to get the same effect never tested it though
