dogs and hamburgers or thermite is a
dogs and hamburgers or thermite is a viable option after all here’s the basic
viable option after all here’s the basic
viable option after all here’s the basic idea behind our experiment today we have
idea behind our experiment today we have
idea behind our experiment today we have two metallic powders iron to oxide and
two metallic powders iron to oxide and
two metallic powders iron to oxide and aluminum powder these are very very fine
aluminum powder these are very very fine
aluminum powder these are very very fine powders and when we mix them together in
powders and when we mix them together in
powders and when we mix them together in the right ratios we create a batch of
the right ratios we create a batch of
the right ratios we create a batch of homemade thermite the burning of
homemade thermite the burning of
homemade thermite the burning of thermite is an extremely exothermic
thermite is an extremely exothermic
thermite is an extremely exothermic reaction releasing temperatures upwards
reaction releasing temperatures upwards
reaction releasing temperatures upwards of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit so we’ll
of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit so we’ll
of 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit so we’ll start the reaction by putting the
start the reaction by putting the
start the reaction by putting the mixture in a terracotta planter pot
mixture in a terracotta planter pot
mixture in a terracotta planter pot setting it on top of the grill and
setting it on top of the grill and
setting it on top of the grill and letting the molten iron flow down into a
letting the molten iron flow down into a
letting the molten iron flow down into a terracotta base plate down below when
terracotta base plate down below when
terracotta base plate down below when the bottom plates are full of molten
the bottom plates are full of molten

hamburgers and using the residual heat
hamburgers and using the residual heat of that metal we’re going to see if we
of that metal we’re going to see if we
of that metal we’re going to see if we can actually get them to grill
all right our bachelor might is mixed up
all right our bachelor might is mixed up for ready to go so we’re just going to
for ready to go so we’re just going to
for ready to go so we’re just going to transfer it into this terracotta planter
transfer it into this terracotta planter
transfer it into this terracotta planter pot sit on top of the grill and let it
pot sit on top of the grill and let it
pot sit on top of the grill and let it off so we got a blowtorch a sparkler for

bolt in there and look at that bottom
bolt in there and look at that bottom plate you can see how all the thermite
plate you can see how all the thermite
plate you can see how all the thermite stripped down to the bottom and now
stripped down to the bottom and now
stripped down to the bottom and now we’ve got a plate of glowing lava as it

thermite was dropping and it just melted that clean off that was a superhot
that clean off that was a superhot
that clean off that was a superhot reaction that was fantastic and it’s
reaction that was fantastic and it’s
reaction that was fantastic and it’s actually going to need a few minutes to
actually going to need a few minutes to
actually going to need a few minutes to cool down before we can put our meat on
cool down before we can put our meat on
