Hello and thank you for looking at my item..
This is an auction for a packet of 250 grams of super high yield thermite, this material when ignited with magnesium burns at an incredible 3000 degrees celcius! thats hot enough to put solid carbon steel to shame. this packed is premixed aluminum powder and iron oxide Fe3O4, none of that cheaper stuff that hasnt nearly as much energy as this type of thermite, take caution that this stuff is next to impossibly to put out once you get it burning and water or fire extinguishers only make it worse, this stuff creates its own oxygen as it burns! each packet comes with 2 free magnesium fuses - this is the best deal for thermite on ebay! please note that NONE of the pictures below were edited in any way or even enhanced, these were taken on a weekend with a regular digital camera on regular automatic settings and then directly uploaded here.
they sell some intresting glow powder too, i might want to check that out, put it in a clear waterbed or somthing.

I have always thought about getting some of this(mixing it myself, I already have German black AL powder for making flash powder, I would just have to get the Iron? I actually wanted revenge on someone and was thinking about putting some on the carbon fiber hood of his rice burner... The kid ripped me off hard core back in my selling days, but I am not a violent person and didnt want drama and cut him off. I dont forget shit like that and it have been 2 years... god it would be fun getting revenge on his bitch ass... But chances are I wont, it would be fun though.

It's nothing like manna from heaven, more like a pure sample of flames from hell.
It is pretty damn neat, though. United Nuclear sells high grade thermite, as well. It's in their chemicals category.

You know Scientists and researchers are looking into Thermite being used on the world trade centers 1 and 2 to bring them down.
Now why was there liquid steel found at the bottom of WTC1 and WTC2 DAYS after the attacks?
**Does it not seem that high grade thermite was used? If it reaches 3000 degrees that would certainly be enough to melt the towers main support columns and leave molten steel for days.

Yeah, we always used United Nuclear to get our Potassium Perchlorate/German Dark Aluminum powder for making M-80's. Wow, those were the days.. I actually bought my digital scale for non-drug related uses, which didnt last long. but it was orignally for measuring out the powder ratios. Anyway, thermite sounds like a good time! -Helge

Nova did a pretty good examination of the situation. The impact of the jet striking the tower flaked much of the fire retardant off of the beams. The wings were still full of fuel. Upon impact, the flaming fuel dumped into the towers. The buildings were doused with flaming jet fuel from the strike points all the way down into the elevator shafts in the lobby.
A fire of that much fuel all at the same time can melt metal. Especially if you consider that the hot air from the fires below was blowing upward and being heated even more by all the fiery hell up above it. The shafts and such of the building provided space for significant airflow. Hot air continued upward and continued getting hotter. Cool air could flow in to fuel the flames.
In a forced-air environment, CHARCOAL can burn hot enough to melt steel. I don't see why it's so hard to beleive that jet fuel can do it.
3,000 degrees doesn't melt steel, it vaporizes it. And thermite may put off a lot of heat, but it doesn't bring down skyscrapers. How, pray tell, would the terrorists have delivered that much thermite into the towers? Even if they had filled their luggage with it, the impact would have scattered the dust, keeping the heat from becoming focused, and preventing much of it from reacting.
Also, it takes a hell of a lot of heat to ignite thermite. A torch can't even ignite it. You have to use the torch to light some magnesium which lights the thermite. It would be a pain in the ass to even THINK of an impact fuse that could do that, let alone build one.
It's a nifty hypothesis, but I doubt that such a plan could have been brought to fruition.
The towers were designed to withstand an IMPACT from a plane, but failed to think of the fire that occur afterwards. And, they used a far smaller aircraft as a standard.
Heat weakens metal. Weakened metal isn't very good at supporting millions of tons of pressure from the towering building set atop of it.

Do you even know how hot jet fuel reaches in a PERFECT environment? (1700) where do you get 3000?
3000 was what the steel was designed to take but its impossible to say that jet fuel got hotter than 1700, And how if jet fuel brought the towers down how was there molten steel found in the basements of the towers? Molten steel means 3000 AT LEAST. How is that possible if jet fuel only reaches 1700?
Terrorists that lived in mountain caves didn't plant or use thermite, it was our government using military grade thermite. And it isn't impossible to use remote detonators to set the thermite off.
*I don't want to argue with you, I was just throwing out the statement that (is it possible that thermite was used?) for people to see since every one here is talking about this substance reaching 3000 degrees.

Im sorry but steel melts at ~1270 degrees. I dont know where you get your infomation at, but its definately not a reliable source.
But you are right that jet fuel could not have melted steel alone. The entire 3,500 gallons of jet fuel was confined to just one floor of the World Trade Center, if the jet fuel burnt with perfect efficency, that no hot gases left the floor, that no heat escaped the floor by conduction.
Then it is impossible that the jet fuel, by itself, raised the temperature of the floor more than 257 degrees.

oh, the 3,000 figure was the thermite temp.
Steel's melting temperature isn't 3,000. It's actually much lower than that, but varies greatly depending on what kind of steel it is. It is a very high temperature to be reached by a fossil fuel, yes. But it's not impossible. Steel is kept molten via fossil fuels in manufacturing processes. It's a matter of airflow and focusing of heat. It is difficult, no doubt. But it's entirely within the realm of possibility.
Claiming the government put thermite bombs in the building is a bit of a stretch. More of a logical step into the absurd than the claim that jet fuel softened the steel. In the end, of course, it's not possible to say with certainty what happened.
My money is on the jet fuel. Think about it, a long, tall column of fire. The heat from the flames below flowing upwards and unceasingly being made hotter by the other flames it flows through.
A single spot of jet fuel may not burn hot enough to melt steel, but it can still add heat into a system. The fires below expel heat upward. The ambient temperatures above it then rise, with the fires in those environments then contributing even more heat. Eventually things are going to get pretty damn hot. The nature of gaseous environments could somehow have come into play, as well. If somehow pressure had accumulated, then the temperature would have been raised by that factor. There are a whole bunch of tiny possible factors which might have been able to get the temperature up to where it was.
It's pretty damn difficult to beleive, I agree. I wouldn't rule it out though.
I don't mean to argue with you, or say you're foolish, or anything to that effect. I just wanted to be the devil's advocate and offer some other explanations.
I was wrong about 3,000 F vaporizing steel though. It seems that the average figure for that is actually 3,000 Kelvin. That's 4,940.6 degrees F.
I have to ask, though: did they find any pools of pure iron? Thermite yields extremely hot molten iron when it burns. If a significant amount of thermite was burned, there would be puddles of pure iron. Even if it mixed in with molten steel, I doubt it would have been hard to distinguish the mixture apart from that of normal steel.

Thermal readings days/weeks after the collapse showed temps off the charts, there are also many reports of molten steel, which is said to be impossible to create with primitive jet fuel.
There is also the whole fact regarding how fast the towers fell - about as quick as free-fall within a frictionless vaccum. There was resistance (2/3 of intact lower tower).
Think of it like this - if you sat holding the damaged upper part of the tower slightly over the intact part ... directly next to another crane holding the same amount of building ... when dropped, which would hit the ground first? The one with the massive structural resistance or the one with the air resistance? Well, on 9-11 the one with the massive structural resistance fell just as quick. I would argue this point towards explosives as they would create a vaccum (like seen in every demolition).

I personally have come to no solid conclusions regarding 9-11, Although I do have strong suspicions that the official story has been twisted to say the least.

If you want HEAT (and I mean *heat*) then iron oxide thermite won't cut it.
The hottest "regular" thermite I can think of is a mixture of aluminium powder with teflon powder. It uses fluorine instead of oxygen and gets beastly hot, well over 3.000'C
Also beastly hot would be a gas mixture of hydrogen and fluorine. No need to ignite it: It will ignite itself even at -100'C and is basically the hottest chemical rocket fuel considered for exo-atmospheric use.
But the hottest of all hotnesses that can be chemically achieved would be that of combusting Carbon subnitride. NC-CC-CN basically acetylene where the hydrogens are replaced by nitrile groups.
Carbon subnitride produces the hottest flame possible in chemistry, calculated (1atm) at:
5.261 Kelvin = 9.010 Fahrenheit = 4.988 Celsius
which is TWICE the temperature practically obtained with an industrial ferrithermite.
If you instead are looking for an incredibly intense energy pulse you could consider mixing HMX with aluminium, a handful of which easily flashes as bright as a billion photo-flashes (as well as render your house uninhabitable) In this case the HMX turns into thermite oxidizers (CO, H2O and N2) at 9 kilometers per second at a temperature of three thousand centigrade, ramming it into the aluminium at millions of pounds per square inch. That's an incredibly fast burn, and for that split second a handful of that mix puts out more energy than a nuclear plant.
If you're wondering what the hottest thing was we humans ever did, it's the Tsar Bomba which was a russian hydrogen bomb of 50 megaton, meaning it exploded as forcefully as a trillion hand grenades. During the split second of its explosion it produced 1% of the energy the Sun produced in the same timespan, thats a beastly amount of heat.
If you look at the brightest and hottest heatsources of the universe then you are talking about the Quasars. A quasar is believed to be a supermassive black hole that devours so much hydrogen-containing stars and nebula matter, that the friction of pulling it all in creates so much heat as to create a beastly amount of heat and light. How much? 10.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000.000 Watts on average, but the biggest quasars put out as much heat. light and radiation as two trillion stars like our sun.
LOL a hot topic!

No sir: it doesnt work like that. You are right that after the shock front and overpressure have passed a low-pressure phase comes, but if the negative pressure of an explosion sucked so hard, the entire island of manhattan would be leveled flat by shock front and overpressure. It would take a tactical nuke's energy to do that.
What you see in demolition is that a few key items (columns etc) are strategically weakened and the building falls down under its own weight like a house of cards.
Demolition experts can make buildings fal faster than they usually do, but this causes a seismic shock by the building smacking on the ground at once, which would damage surrounding buildings. Thats why they time things to the milisecond and that timing causes the fluent motion you see of the building being eased to the floor instead of throwing it down.
The weight of the building top pressed the lower floors to rubble by the kinetic energy of the fall. The question is how the steel beams gave way.
Steel softens a lot sooner than melting: it's a lot like butter. Hard as a brick from the freezer, fairly hard from the fridge, soft on the table and liquid in the pan. You don't need to melt steel/butter to weaken it.
If you add oxygen to kerosene efficiently it burns with a blue flame you can weld with.

From my point of view your statements align with mine. I totally agree. Likely just a typing perception barrier thats all too common in internet communication.
How the intact (MASSIVE) center steel beams caused little to no resistance in a gravity fall confuses me - but of course I am no structural engineer. But I have yet to see a theory that makes sense to me... the "pancake collapse" (each floor slamming into the floor below it causing a chain reacion) doesnt really explain the (intact/untouched lower) center columns giving way to me, and in frictionless freefall time (10 seconds / fastest possible in a frictionless environment being 9.2).

LoL. Nice.
When i was younger, I was really into explosives and learning about them. One of my number 1 obsessions was thermite. Being in canada, its a lot harder to 'play' and aquire explosives as opossed to the US, trust me. So, I read up on how to make it, and decided to do it myself.
I actualy used a regular DC wall plug, and via wires, connected one end of a piece of iron to from the 'outside' of the plug, to the other end of the iron with the 'inside' of the plug. I put the iron in salt water and plugged it into a wall. Lucky enough, i didnt burn my house down...infact, it actualy worked! I slept with that damn thing going in my room, and by morning I had a bunch of iron oxide (rust) on the bottom of my lil water pan. So i let it go the whole day. Then i bought a strip of aluminum, and tried to file it down. Anyway, long story short, filling down a piece of aluminum bar inside an apartment is tough. So i gave up on it. I still have the entire setup in a small box sumwhere in my room. I wonder if it wouldve worked.... i still have the magnesium strip i bought to ignite. 
I've always wanted to have a weapon for revenge to put on engine blocks.
Maybe one day im gonna finish my little project. haha. Man, im so lucky that DC plug didnt explode or something. I guess i was a smart lil fucker to set it up properly.

3,000 degrees doesn't melt steel, it vaporizes it.
proof? i work as a tradesman and we routinely heat treat some steels at 2500 degrees for an hour. i have trouble imagining that an extra 500 would vaporize it. in fact, its just plain wrong.
In my later post I admitted that was incorrect. I shouldn't have said it in the first place, I had a hunch I might have been wrong. My hunch was correct.
