Another use for cupric oxide is as a substitute for iron oxide in thermite. This can turn the thermite from an incendiary to a low explosive.
Low explosives are compounds where the rate of decomposition proceeds through the material at less than the speed of sound. The decomposition is propagated by a flame front (deflagration) which travels much more slowly through the explosive material than a shock wave of a high explosive.

Low explosives are normally employed as propellants. Included in this group are gun powders and light pyrotechnics, such as flares and fireworks.

Once again, using an example of a STAGED (and altered formula(??), just for the visual effect) YouTube video. While purposely leaving out the rest of my post, where I sourced RENSE??? I actually think Rense is usually full of it, but many "truth" sites like to cite them...unless it's inconvenient for them, I suppose....?
Anyway, that video. Watching carefully, I saw ONE part "aluminum powder" (dry) mixed with at least THREE parts Cupric Oxide (dry). Cupric Oxide is copper-based. Oh, look there's a Wiki entry:

en.wikipedia.org...(II)_oxide
"substitute" for the iron oxide.
NOTE I highlighted "low explosive"?
Here, this article: www.tpub.com...
And, a Wiki too:

Where is your proof that Silverstein said they "blew the building up" ? As has already been shown , your reference to the "pull it" comment doesn't qualify , since you can't prove that he was using it in the context that you are falsely trying to convince others that he was .

I will address your question only after you have addressed the one I asked of you first . In case you have forgotten what it was , I will type it again , for the third or fourth time now .

Typical truther tactic ... Make some false claims , tout them as facts , provide nothing to support those claims , and then change the subject upon realizing you have painted yourself into a corner .
Curiously , I didn't expect anything else from you .
"Lucky" Larry got his start running a strip club. He was mentioned by fellow tribe members, back in the '60's, as being the biggest hoodlum/crime boss in the group.

Astonishing, someone gave you a star, when you wrote a post, claiming I said something, when in fact it seems to have been poor reading comprehension on your part. Now, unless you find, in my post, the SPECIFIC words where I wrote:
....lol, I needed a laugh..The planes wings hit with such force that they liquified....
And, those bold words, emphasised to be exact here....WHERE did I write that? Find the post, and quote me, or else realize that you have displayed a TYPICAL "truther" tactic. Know what it is??
Here's another example:
....but the engines bounced off the walls?? Now thats funny...
The underlined, and bold part there. WHERE did I say that? Find, and post my exact quotes.
Is it possible you read, yet not understand? OR, as per the "tactic" I mentioned earlier....is THAT your game???
One or the other. Fess up to poor reading comprehension; or else you MUST admit a determined effort to alter intent, and spin the results to your liking. Disgusting, if the latter, wouldn't you agree???
I expect this display, here, to be a record of the shenanigans that are in constant use, by those who cling to this "inside-job" 9/11 fantasy...so desperate are they??
edit on 28 November 2010 by weedwhacker because: (no reason given)
....but the engines bounced off the walls?? Now thats funny...
When those engines hit, they began to immediately self-destruct....like shrapnel, every rotating part was flung outward, with great force. Individual pieces, NOT one big hunk of metal, at its stated dry (or even wet) weightWhen those engines hit, they began to immediately self-destruct....like shrapnel, every rotating part was flung outward, with great force.

Way to dodge a very good question...
