1. Slingschott quicksand is laced with thermite.

2. Generate enough heat to activate the thermite?

3. Or we burn through it with a thermite reaction, using aluminum powder and rust powder.

4. Iron oxide mixed with aluminium powder can be ignited to create a thermite reaction, used in welding and purifying ores.

5. It was up to the bravery of men carrying the thermite explosive charges to ensure that these guns remained silent on D-Day.

6. The casing of such A bomb is composed of magnesium, a metal that itself burns at a high temperature when ignited by thermite

7. Ki-167 "Sakura-dan": Special attack version equipped with one shaped charge thermite bomb of 2,900 kg (6,400 lb) in the fuselage behind the crew cabin.

8. Note: Friction, impact and abrasion processes involving rust and light metals (e.g. aluminium and magnesium) and their alloys may initiate an aluminothermic (thermite) reaction which can give rise to particularly incendive sparking.
