@therocketeer(View Post) All you need is aluminium powder and iron oxide, I think (wikipedia partially backs up this claim - then again, Wikipedia are not reliable source). :D
@kerbal1234(View Post) Thermite doesn't explode, you only need about 1500-2000deg C to start the reaction. Also, try filing down a coke can to get alu powder and iron oxide is rust. I once was so interested in these topics I began reading Anarchist Cookbooks, they actually contain a crazy bit of info there >_>
And kerbal but definatly look up the fireworks stuff because i know if you put the chemicals in a tube in a certain way you can get the "whistler" effect
or the "shut-that-damn-shrieking-firework-thing-up-before-i-check-myself-into-a-psychiatric-facility" effect
