Can you give a straight answer to anything.
I just placed the below in my cart with no permit. I could have the stuff around Dec 6 with no permit.

That is exactly what we have been telling you. It's a paint chip.
If it has all the ingredients of a paint chip, then it is a paint chip.
It's Laclede standard steel joist paint to be exact.
The aluminum/silicate and iron/oxide particle size is 50.8 microns.

An analysis of the DSC data in the Herrit-Jones paper
By pteridine

Based on this figure, we may approximate the following theoretical and measured energies:
Not measured in this experiment:
HMX = 5.5 kJ/g
TNT = 4.5 kJ/g
TATB = 4.1kJ/g
Thermite = 3.9 kJ/g
Measured in this experiment:
Chip #1 = 1.5 kJ/g
Chip #2 = 2.5 kJ/g
Chip #3 = 7.5 kJ/g
Chip #4 = 5.9 kJ/g
The first thing we notice is the wide disparity of values for the “highly engineered” material. This should raise doubts as to sample collection and preparation and even if the materials are the same thing. By other analyses, they appear similar.
Now we note that two of the chips, #3 and #4 have far more energy than if they were 100% thermite. They also have more energy than any of the high explosives or any combination of thermite and any high explosive as a composite. Arithmetically, if we have a 50:50 mix of thermite and HMX we should have an energy of about 4.7 kJ/g -- below that of chips #3 and #4. How can this be?
To explain this, we must understand what is being measured and how. The explosives and thermite have, internal to them, their own oxidants. We include their oxygen in the weight we measured. If we measure heat from a burning hydrocarbon, for example, we DON’T include the weight of the oxygen in the air we use to burn it. Candle wax burning in air has about 10 times the energy/gram of thermite using this convention. What does this mean? It means that some, if not all, of the energy from the red chips is due to burning of the carbonaceous paint matrix in air.
Jones is vague about this problem and says on p27. “We suggest that the organic material in evidence in the red/gray chips is also highly energetic, most likely producing gas to provide explosive pressure.” What might that energetic material be? Jones has no clue. His team lacks the chemical knowledge to postulate a reasonable composition. It has no nitrogen, so it is not one of the explosives shown. It is energetic when burning in air. So is candle wax. Volatilized, it will produce gas but it does not seem to be otherwise energetic. How can this problem be resolved? What experiment must be done to show the possibility of thermite or some composite?
As I have stated above, thermite and explosives have their own oxidants built in. burning hydrocarbons do not. How can Jones discriminate between explosives, thermite and plain old burning paint?
He can re-run the DSC under an argon atmosphere. What a simple and elegant solution. Under argon, all the energy coming out will be from the thermite and its energetic additives. If there is no energy coming out, there is no thermite and all those contortions and obfuscations are for naught. Why wouldn’t Jones do this obvious experiment? Maybe he did and didn’t like the results.

Then what size particle are your talking about? What size of particle was Harrit claiming? Can you cite Harrit?

What you not get what was burnt by Harrit was not thermite.
The chips did not burn in an inert atmosphere. The chips had inconsistent kilojoules per gram. To quote pteridine, “ note that two of the chips, #3 and #4 have far more energy than if they were 100% thermite. “
Exactly what properties of thermite did Harrit’s/ Jones chips have?
You really need to read through the thread, “ An analysis of the DSC data in the Herrit-Jones paper.”

Experimental data for Al/Bi2O3 mixtures were used to validate the model with attention focused on the ratio of specific heats and the drag coefficient.

Iron microsphere is molten Iron that involves melting point of 1700c.
Mick West said:

If you ignite some steel wool with a hydrocarbon flame, then you get lots of iron spheres, some of the same size as these microspheres. Note this is not from the flame melting the steel, but from the steel itself burning, and melting itself. This is only possible with a sufficiently large surface area to mass ratio - i.e. with very small or very thin particles.

I get what you're attempting to point out but that's a terrible way of going about it (using those pictures)
A micron (aka micrometre) is 10^-6 metre
A nanometre is 10^-9 metre IE there are a thousand nanometres in a micron.
Therefore, showing chips with a dimension of around 100 microns (100 000 nanometres) is definitely not going to convince anyone of 'nanotech' material evidence. You need to examine the material composition at vastly higher magnification to make such a determination.
Also, the presence of (supposedly) elemental iron that solidified on the proposed nano material creates an issue
IE why didn't the material ignite in contact with molten or barely solidified iron? (considering the material was able to be ignited in the lab at just 400C or thereabouts)

We can see the molten iron on the chip.. It was unignited chip that Harrit found.
