Then why do so many OS'ers say that NIST determined it to be aluminum. Did they test it or not and are those tests avail?
They made a semieducated guess based on the available evidence.
but is Active Thermitic Material a byproduct
Seeing A, and B....and arriving at Z (like the "Active Thermitic" material research folks did) is sloppy research.
Sounds like sloppy research.

the intro? Did you ever write a term paper? This is where you state you points. So in saying this you are admitting that the first two minutes is bs. So, if the first 2 are, why should be waste our time?

Im curious though. Wondering if you know what a melting lead acid battery looks like....
edit on 2-7-2011 by vipertech0596 because: (no reason given)
And yet, if I go have enough back in the thread, I will find you speaking about the pools of molten metal and declaring its steel. Even after you've seen that pools of molten ALUMINUM can be orange. So, like I said, closed.

I did what you asked
Now, do you want me to do what you originally asked in this thread or not?

Isnt it funny how you spend more words whacking at me but refuse to address the real smackdown that has been handed to you by Tupac and Hijaqd and others.
Personally, I would say it looks more like a lead acid battery UPS that has been on fire. Maybe something to do with the Sun Bank computer room that was in that corner of the tower.........
That video is far from crappy. It uses physics, experimentation, and facts to back up everything that is says. Why don't you try to debunk that video if it's "crappy" and "loose with reality"? Surely such a crappy video that's loose with reality can be easily debunked by just one of you guys who badmouths it but doesn't back up their smack talk with facts and evidence, right?
Smack down? LOL. Umm, no, not really. Have yet to see a "smack down" delievered. Posting crappy videos that play fast and loose with reality don't come close.
Iron microspheres can only be formed in temperatures high enough to melt steel. Jet fuel is not hot enough to melt steel, therefore jet fuel did not create the iron microspheres. Iron microspheres are a natural biproduct of a thermitic reaction
Yeah there's no connection, I just wanted to post some molten aluminum videos for no reason. NIST said it was molten aluminum, and there's molten aluminum for us to see and agree that it's not what was dripping from the tower.
OK. Not sure how this equates to the WTC. So, I watch the second video, which shows again something being melted and there is no connection to the WTC except to tell us that pure aluminum is melting at 1800F. OK. No real reason just the color. Cool music though.
Except partially burned, solid organic materials would not mix in with the molten aluminum, it would either float on top or burn right away. NIST never confirmed their speculation with experimentation, so that's all it is as of right now, speculation. Besides there is absolutely no way that random assorted office materials would uniformly color the silver molten aluminum orange, that's absurd.
Pure liquid aluminum would be expected to appear silvery. However, the molten metal was very likely mixed with large amounts of hot, partially burned, solid organic materials (e.g., furniture, carpets, partitions and computers) which can display an orange glow, much like logs burning in a fireplace. The apparent color also would have been affected by slag formation on the surface.
You are sadly mistaken.
Now, I think this takes care of the first part
That's not how iron microspheres are formed, they're formed when iron is heated to the point that it turns molten, and then surface tension pulls it into spheres. We're both in agreement that jet fuel is not capable of producing these, and the presence of nano-thermite chips as well as iron microspheres indicates that thermite was used to bring down the towers.
it is a natural by product of a thermitic reaction which means that a metal is in contact with another metal which releases the type of microsphere that was supposedly found. But this does not mean thermite was used which is where this argument goes
No the sample was taken after the the south tower fell by Janette MacKinlay whose apartment was directly across the street from it. When the tower collapsed, her apartment was filled with dust and she sent a sample to Steven Jones.
The iron-rich spheres were found months after the collapse, right?
I can deny that because blowtorches do not cause thermitic reactions, thermite causes thermitic reactions. And blowtorches and whatever other hot flames were used in the clean-up would not cause thermite chips to appear in the dust sample, and as we both learned from that video the formation of nano-thermite naturally is impossible.
Now, during that time, there were 1000's of thermitic type reactions that occurred during the clean up process. You cannot deny that. All of those beams cut with, what is that, a reaction hot enough to melt steel which Mr Jones himself has said has to be present for the spheres to form.
Do these guys not count?:
Also, why won't Jones let anyone else test his evidence?
He didn't "add" resistance, the resistance that he mentioned referred to the fact that the building did not fall at exactly 9.8m/s^2 once the columns were blown. The purpose of that video is to show that if the top section of the WTCs did indeed become independent of the building and hit the remaining lower portion of the building, it would decelerate, as seen in the gravity driven demolition. However the fact that when the top section should experience a jolt but doesn't is a clear indication that other forces are at work causing the lower section of the tower to collapse before the top section makes contact with it, meaning controlled demolition.
This is supposed to set up the video. However, the in the videos it shows a demolition by gravity using hydraulics and the collapse of the WTC. They then explain that they should look the same. They do. They are identical except in the video of the other building he adds the resistance to the model and in the case of the WTC he does not. Why is that? Because then they would like the same until they hit something. This was common sense to show the difference and as always, part of something is shown and it is taken as fact by anyone who believes it.
The mass is irrelavant, the concept would be the same for a cardboard box falling onto other cardboard boxes, or neutron star matter falling onto other neutron star matter (an extremely dense material in case you're asking why did I bring that up). Regardless of the mass of each floor, there would be a momentary deceleration when the top section makes contact with the bottom section.
1. You are not taking into account the change in mass with each floor that is hit.
"Jolt" is slang for a physics term, a momentary deceleration. Physics apply to everything during every second of every day, and the top section of the towers not experiencing a jolt defies the laws of physics, according to the official story at least. We're not implying that physics were impossible on that day, we're implying that physics prove the official story to be false.
2. You and the creator of the video are relying on the term ‘jolt’ as if it applies to how physics were impossible on that day.
Yes there definitely is the need for a jolt, if the top section of the building became independent of the rest of the tower and the only force acting on it is gravity, then the moment it comes into contact with the bottom section of the building it will slow down before crushing it. The objects mass and momentum are irrelevant when discussing acceleration by gravity alone, the concept of deceleration when a falling body comes into contact with another object is set in stone. That is a fact, you can't argue against physics, unless of course you want to get into it with this fella:
3. There was no need for the weakening of the lower structure or need for jolts as termed. It gained mass as it fell therefore would gain momentum as they fell also.
No, I'm saying that the microspheres presence combined with nano-thermite chips and three towers falling just like controlled demolitions means that thermite was used.
Just so I know, you are stating that the only way those 'spheres' could occur is if thermite was used?
