Thermite Campfire on the Coldest Day of Winter

►WHAT IS THIS
Thermite. It is one of the most energetic and violent reactions that we are allowed to do. Made from Iron Oxide and Aluminum, it burns around 4000 degrees and is hot enough to melt iron.
In this video, I explain everything you may need to know about this fascinating and aesthetic chemistry. Enjoy.
