"9/11 conspiracy theories"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories
"...Jones has presented the hypothesis that thermite or nano thermite
was used to demolish the buildings."
_________________________________________________
The above is a scientifically factual statement.
It can only be a scientific "hypothesis" that nano thermite was used
to demolish the buildings; however, it is a scientific FACT that nano
thermite is contained in the WTC dust. http://investigate911.org/
For you bird watchers, that would be like putting up a bird feeder and
two days later it's on the ground chewed all to hell and all the seed
are gone.
You couldn't KNOW the squirrels did it and not the birds.
You could only HYPOTHICIZE squirrels did it and not the birds.
Because technically, it is in the realm of scientific possibility,
that radical extremist Muslims did it to frame the squirrels.
I can't offer a logical hypothesis about why radical extremist Muslims
would hate squirrels so much they would want to get them in trouble
with the local humans, but I hate them because they chew-up and
destroy my bird feeders.
That's why I break for a snake, but swirl for a squirrel. |

No it wasn't.
He first claimed that it was Thermite which then became Thermate which
then became nanothermite.
Which isn't an explosive and cannot do thge things that are claimed of
it...

No. It is a claim made by the person who claimed room temperature

and lost his position as a tenured university lecturer.. |

Talk to an engineer, a real expert, and learn something. Maybe, just
maybe, if you do, you can wake up and it will dawn on you how stupid
"911 truth" videos and webpages are.
Since actually talking to a real expert, one who isn't shiling a
kookpage or book, is against your religion, I doubt it will happen, so
until then, rave on, and we sane folks will keep laughing.

Introduction
The scientific paper Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from
the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe conclusively shows the
presence of unignited aluminothermic explosives in dust samples from
the Twin Towers, whose chemical signature matches previously
documented aluminothermic residues found in the same dust samples. The
present review of the paper and related research is intended to
summarize those findings for the non-technical reader. To that end, I
first provide a short introduction to the subject of aluminothermic
explosives, then outline the methods and results of analysis of the
dust samples, and finally explore the significance of these findings.

Aluminothermics 101
Image from AmazingRust.com of a simple thermite reaction involving
iron oxide and aluminum. This video shows thermite melting through a
car.
Aluminothermic reactions are a class of energy-releasing
oxidation-reduction chemical reactions in which aluminum reduces the
oxide of metal such as iron (stealing its oxygen). Aluminothermics
range from low-tech preparations that take seconds to react and
therefore release nearly all their energy as heat and light, to
advanced engineered materials with accelerated reaction rates that
yield explosive powers similar to conventional high explosives.
Backers of the official account of 9/11, including NIST officials,
have dismissed evidence that aluminothermics were used to destroy the
World Trade Center skyscrapers, claiming that thermite's slow reaction
rate makes it an unsuitable tool for demolishing buildings. Despite
repeated requests by scientists and researchers to address the
potential role of advanced aluminothermics with high explosive power,
officials have refused to acknowledge such materials.
Composition
2 Al + Fe2O3 → Al2O3 + 2 Fe
The canonical thermite reaction is simple, lacks the aromatic
hydrocarbons and nitrogen found in conventional high explosives, and
is highly exothermic.
The most familiar aluminothermic material is thermite, a mixture of a
powdered metallic fuel such as aluminum, and a powdered oxide of
another metal such as iron or copper. The thermite reaction involves
the transfer of oxygen from the oxidizer (metal oxide) to the fuel
(metal).
Because oxygen atoms bind more tightly to aluminum atoms than to iron
or copper atoms, the reaction releases large amounts of energy and is
described as highly exothermic. Whereas primitive thermite
preparations release most of their energy as heat, modern
preparations, such as found in munitions employed by the US military
in recent decades, produce a targeted mix of heat and pressure through
an accelerated but controlled reaction rate.
Relationship of particle size to reaction rate (above) and of reaction
rate to the form of energy released (below)
Reaction Rate
The reaction rate of a thermitic material determines how quickly the
metal fuel and oxidizer react, and therefore how quickly the energy is
released. Whereas the energy density of an explosive is determined by
its chemistry, its power density is determined by its reaction rate,
which, in the case of a thermitic material, is determined by its
physical characteristics. Specifically, the reaction rate increases
with the fineness with which the metal and oxide powders are milled,
and the uniformity with which they are mixed.
Because the reactants of thermite must be milled very finely to attain
explosive reaction rates, such thermites are often referred to as
nano-thermites. Such nano- or "super-thermites" typically have
particle diameters on the order of a few hundred nanometers. The
reaction rate in turn determines the destructive character of the
material. Whereas a cup of conventional thermite will melt a hole
clear through a car's engine block, the same quantity of nano-thermite
will blow the car apart.
The addition of compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and silicon to the
material, as is typical of advanced nano-thermitic explosives, further
increases the material's destructive power by generating greater gas
pressures.
Energy Density and Power Density
material energy density
by mass:
MJ/KG by volume:
MJ/L
aluminothermic incendiaries
Thermite
(Al + Fe2O3) 4.13 18.40
Copper Thermite
(Al + CuO) 4.00 20.90
nitro-aromatic explosives
TNT
(Trinitrotoluene) 4.61 6.92
In terms of energy density, thermite is roughly comparable to TNT,
packing slightly less energy per unit of mass but about three times as
much energy per unit of volume. In terms of power density, thermitic
preparations range across a wide spectrum, whose upper end appears to
be comparable to conventional high explosives. 1 Â 2 Â
Because thermites have historically had much lower power densities
than conventional high explosives, they are classified as incendiaries
rather than explosives -- a classification that has been exploited to
conceal the use of aluminothermics in the World Trade Center attack.
Despite the fact that high-tech aluminothermics have existed and been
used by the military since the mid-1990s or earlier, methods of
identifying explosive residues at crime scenes are frequently limited
to analysis of nitro-aromatic explosives. 3 Â
Energetic Nanocomposites
There is much more to the technology of aluminothermic weapons than
milling and homogenizing metal and metal oxide powders. Energetic
materials designed for the military -- which are used in applications
spanning propellants, armor-piercing munitions, and reactive armor --
are required to fulfill a range of requirements including: "high
density, good mechanical properties, low sensitiveness, good
stability, low cost, ease of manufacturing, and environmental
acceptability." 4 Â To achieve these requirements, scientists
developing advanced aluminothermic materials have learned to embed the
fine powders in a carbon- and silicon-rich matrix. Kevin Ryan
explains:
The mixing [of ultra fine grain (UFG) aluminum and UFG metal oxides]
is accomplished by adding these reactants to a liquid solution where
they form what are called "sols", and then adding a gelling agent that
captures these tiny reactive combinations in their intimately mixed
state (LLNL 2000). The resulting "sol-gel" is then dried to form a
porous reactive material that can be ignited in a number of ways. 5 Â
Graphic from a DTIC (Defense Technical Information Center) Review
publication on advanced energetic materials.
Energetic materials such as aluminothermic sol-gels have been an
active area of research in the US national labs since the mid-1990s or
earlier, including under the auspices of NIST itself -- a fact
documented by Kevin Ryan in his extensively footnoted article The Top
Ten Connections Between NIST and Nano-Thermites. Also called
"metastable intermolecular composites", "energetic nano-composites",
"nano-structured energetic materials", or just "nanoenergetics", these
materials have been the subject of numerous conferences, research
papers, and patents in the past two decades. 6 Â 7 Â 8 Â 9 Â 10 Â
11 Â It's also not difficult to find recent published papers on
methods of reliably igniting such materials with minute low-power
devices described as MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) and
manufactured much like conventional integrated circuits. 12 Â 13 Â
14 Â 15 Â 16 Â 17 Â 18 Â It requires little imagination to grasp
how such techniques could be exploited to implement a covert,
all-wireless controlled demolition.
Aluminothermics at the WTC
The discovery of unexploded super-thermite in the WTC dust augments a
large body of evidence pointing to the use of aluminothermic materials
in the destruction of the skyscrapers. The present review looks only
at the evidence of explosives found in the dust and debris expelled
from the Twin Towers.
Even before WTC dust was subjected to the kind of microscopic scrutiny
described in Active Thermitic Material Discovered, several features of
the dust analysis published by the USGS pointed to the use of
aluminothermics. For example, the USGS data shows high levels of
barium -- a fact that is difficult to explain, barring pyrotechnics.
The high levels of iron and aluminum in the dust -- each ranging from
1.3 to 4.1 percent of the dust samples by weight -- also appears
anomalous, although prosaic sources of the metals can be imagined.
Aluminothermic Residues: Iron-Rich Spheroids
Micro-spheroidal particles in WTC dust consisting mostly of iron were
documented in at least two scientific reports by 2005: a compilation
of data by the USGS and a report for the owners of a skyscraper
adjacent to the World Trade Center complex that sustained heavy damage
in the attack. 19 Â
Two images of iron-rich spheroids from the USGS Particle Atlas of
World Trade Center Dust. 20 Â
Illustration from a damage assessment report prepared for Deutsche
Bank, the owners of a skyscraper severely damaged by projectiles from
the South Tower. The report was commissioned, in part, to determine
the nature and extent of contamination of the building, which is
slated for demolition.
Although it may be overlooked, the significance of these nearly
microscopic iron-rich droplets is not difficult to grasp. Molten iron
is one of the two principal products of the thermite reaction, the
other being aluminum oxide, which tends to dissipate as an aerosol.
The molten iron condenses and solidifies into particles whose size is
a function of the thermite's reaction rate. Fast-acting
super-thermites produce tiny droplets that become very nearly
spherical due to surface tension.
The inescapable fact is that these spheroidal droplets in the WTC dust
look exactly like the products of the combustion of nano-thermite
explosives, and their discovery in consistently substantial
concentrations in diverse samples of dust from the day of the attack
weighs heavily against theories that they were generated by something
other than the Twin Towers' destruction. Elemental analysis of these
droplets described below would show that they are dead ringers for
known aluminothermic residues.
In a 2007 paper, Steven Jones described the importance of the
iron-rich microspheres. 21 Â
Dr. Steven E. Jones describing molten metal seen at Ground Zero.
As usual, we search for possible prosaic explanations for these
metallic spherules in the WTC dust. The most obvious possible source
is the melting of large quantities of steel in the buildings followed
somehow by formation of tiny droplets of molten steel. As discussed
above, however, steel melts at about 1538ºC (2800ºF) – and the
temperatures in the buildings were no where near [sic] hot enough to
melt steel, and certainly not in large quantities required for the
amounts seen in the dust (and pouring out of the South Tower before
collapse). Furthermore, we have looked at the chemical compositions of
a number of iron-rich spherules as well as that of steel, and the
compositions are not the same at all. It should not be surprising,
however, as we analyze more spherules to find some that are steel-like
in composition, assuming that thermite cutter-charges were in fact
used to cut through steel. We should then find both steel- and
thermite-residue spherules.
Could these droplets be due to molten aluminum alloy (from the jets)
striking rusty steel and/or other office materials to somehow generate
the iron-rich spheres? We performed experiments with molten aluminum
poured onto rusty steel, then onto crushed gypsum and concrete (on the
rusty steel) – and observed no formation of iron-rich droplets at
all nor any sign of vigorous chemical reactions.
After addressing arguments that the iron-rich droplets could have been
produced by the rubble pile or clean-up operation -- the dust samples
were collected too early and were too distant from the site to have
been thus contaminated -- Jones makes a rough estimate of the total
quantities of reactants involved in the attack based on the fraction
of the dust comprising the iron-rich spheres.
One can estimate the implied amount of thermite needed to generate so
many iron-rich spheres in the WTC dust. In a sample of 32.1 grams of
WTC dust, I observed with the unaided eye two metallic-looking
spheres, in addition to the micron-sized spherules collected using a
magnet. The mm-size spheres proved to be iron-aluminum rich. The mass
of these two larger spheres (0.012g) found in this sample can be used
to provide a crude estimate of the fraction of iron-rich spheres in
the dust: 0.012g/32.1g = 0.04%. If the mass of the WTC dust was about
30,000 tons, then the iron-rich spherule content would be of the order
of ten tons. This is a very rough estimate based on one small sample,
and is only provided to give an idea of the amount of thermite-type
reactants and products which may be involved here. An investigation
well beyond the scope of this paper would look for purchases of
aluminum and iron-oxide powders (and sulfur) in multi-ton-quantities
prior to 9/11/2001.
A paper published a year earlier than Active Thermitic Material
Discovered showed that metal-rich spheroids in WTC dust had
iron-to-oxygen ratios indicating abundant elemental iron, such as
found in thermite residues. It also pointed out several other features
of WTC remains that indicated exposure to temperatures far above what
could be produced by fires burning jet fuel and office contents,
including: iron-rich and silicate spherules, volatilized lead, a
molybdenum spherule, and materials with a "Swiss-cheese appearance".
22  Molybdenum has a very high melting point of 2617ºC.
Unignited Aluminothermics: Bi-Layered Chips
If finding aluminothermic residues in the form of spheroidal
micro-droplets was like finding fired bullets at a crime scene, then
the discoveries presented in Active Thermitic Material Discovered are
like finding the gun loaded with several rounds of unspent ammunition
that match the fired bullets.

the four different dust samples.

points) and the Twin Towers (red points).
First described by Steven Jones in late 2007, distinctive chips found
in the dust samples had red and gray layers, were weakly attracted to
a magnet, and were composed mostly of iron, oxygen, aluminum, silicon,
and carbon. Jones and his colleagues subsequently subjected the chips
to detailed analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray
energy-dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), and published their results in the Open Chemical
Physics Journal.
Provenance of the Samples
The paper's findings are based primarily on the analysis of particles
derived from four separate samples of dust generated by the
destruction of the Twin Towers, samples whose provenance the paper
describes in detail. Each of the samples was collected by a different
individual who has described the time, place, and methods of
collecting and storing their sample. Each individual collected dust
that had settled directly after the fall of one of the Twin Towers,
with the one exception, Janette MacKinlay, who collected dust when
allowed to re-enter her apartment a week after it was carpeted with
shovel-fulls of dust and debris from the South Tower.
Physical Structure of the Chips
Chips having distinctive and similar physical features were found in
all four of the dust samples, ranging in length from from about 0.2 to
3 mm. Each chip has stratified layers of two types: a red layer and a
lighter gray layer, where each layer is between roughly 10 and 100
microns in thickness. Despite their small size, the chips are readily
visible in the samples because of their flat shapes, distinctive
color, and layered structure. The chips are tough despite being as
thin as eggshells.
Portions of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5: Two scanning electron microscope images
of bi-layered chips.
Magnification reveals that the gray layers are composed of an opaque
homogeneous material, whereas the red layers have small particles
embedded in a matrix of slightly translucent material.
Fig. 9, showing a highly magnified view of the red layer. Note the
hexagonal plate-like particles, and the smaller faceted particles,
both lighter in color than the porous matrix.
At magnification of 50,000 the structure of the two types of particles
is clear: small bright particles having a faceted shape and measuring
about 100 nm in diameter, and larger particles having a flat and often
hexagonal shape and measuring about 1000 nm across and 40 nm thick.
The particles are held in place and in close proximity to each other
by the porous matrix. Soaking the chips in methyl ethyl ketone, a
solvent that dissolves paint, caused the red layer to swell while
remaining intact.
Up to this point, I have reviewed only characteristics of the chips
revealed by macro- and micro-scopic visual examination, but already
the implications are stunning: the chips are clearly a nano-engineered
material with two types of extremely small particles, each highly
consistent in shape and size, held in close stable proximity by a
durable matrix which is laminated to a hard homogeneous material. The
student of energetic materials will appreciate that this description
matches exactly that of a super-thermite in which the reactant
particles are suspended in a sol-gel matrix applied to a substrate.
Chemical Composition of the Chips
Chemical analysis of the chips relied primarily on performing
elemental analysis of the materials and their components using XEDS,
and making inferences about the materials' molecular composition based
on the distributions of elements in different structures. The paper
first examines the gray and red layers, and then zooms in on the
components of the red layers.
XEDS spectra of red and gray layers shows a remarkable similarity
across the different samples.
Fig. 7: "XEDS spectra obtained from the gray layers from each of the
four WTC dust samples ..." Fig. 6: "XEDS spectra obtained from the
red layers from each of the four WTC dust samples ..."
Whereas the gray layers contain mostly iron and oxygen, the red layers
have abundant aluminum as well, and the three elements are in the
ratio approximating that of Fe2O3 + Al thermite. Thus, the red layers
could be active thermitic material, depending on their molecular
composition. If active, the material will have much of its aluminum in
a metallic state, unbound to oxygen or silicon.
The authors show that the aluminum is indeed mostly in a pure metallic
form, and that much of the oxygen is bound to the iron. They
ultimately show this conclusively through elemental analysis of the
components of the red layers: the thin hexagonal plates, faceted
grains, and embedding matrix revealed by microscopic inspection.
Performing accurate elemental analysis of the red layer components
would require some ingenuity. Because the XEDS machine steers an
electron beam over a sample's surface to gather information about its
elemental composition, it can be used to generate maps of the
abundance of different elements over the surface of the sample.
However, the particles in the red layer are slightly smaller than what
can be resolved by XEDS.
Fig. 10, showing the BSE image and accompanying XEDS maps for Fe, Al,
O, Si, and C of a portion of an untreated red layer.
Nonetheless, considering the XEDS maps in conjunction with the much
higher-resolution SEM images of the corresponding portions of the
sample makes clear that the faceted grains are abundant in iron and
oxygen and the thin plates are abundant in aluminum. Also, although
the distribution of particles in the matrix is precisely homogeneous
overall, there are local clumps of grains and of plates, and when the
electron beam is focused on these clumps the XEDS detector registers
higher concentrations of the constituents of iron oxide and of
elemental aluminum, respectively.
To obtain more precise measurements of the elemental compositions of
the red layer components using XEDS, those components somehow had to
be separated, so that the electron beam could be focused entirely on
one component at a time. Perhaps the porous matrix could be dissolved,
allowing the particles to be separated by centrifuging. Or better --
as the investigators discovered serendipitously in an earlier
experiment to see if the chips dissolved in the paint-dissolving
solvent methyl ethyl keytone (MEK) -- the matrix could be expanded by
a factor of five while leaving the layer intact, allowing in-situ
examination. When the chips were soaked in MEK with periodic agitation
for 55 hours, the red layers swelled up but remained intact and
attached to their respective gray layers, and the thin plates tended
to migrate and aggregate. Because of these structural changes produced
by the MEK soaking, it was possible to make much more accurate XEDS
measurements of the elemental compositions of the red layers'
components.
Fig. 15, showing the BSE image and accompanying XEDS maps of Fe, Al,
O, Si, and C for a red-layer sample soaked in MEK.
XEDS maps of a soaked red layers show correlations much more clearly
than the untreated material. In particular, oxygen is highly
correlated, individually, to iron, silicon, and carbon. Aluminum is
inversely correlated to the other elements.
Even more striking are the XEDS spectra found by zooming in on areas
having high concentrations of particular elements. The three graphs
below show the results of focusing the electron beam on areas with:
first, high silicon; second, high aluminum; and third, high iron. The
area of high silicon is composed almost entirely of silicon and
oxygen, the area of high aluminum has aluminum far out of proportion
with the other elements, and the area of high iron is rich in oxygen,
where the oxygen and iron atoms are in the same 3-to-2 ratio as in the
thermite oxidizer Fe2O3.
A collage of Figs. 16, 17, and 18, whose captions read, in the order
of the back- to front-most graphs: "XEDS spectrum from a silicon-rich
region on the porous red matrix of the MEK-treated red material" "XEDS
spectrum obtained at 10 kV from a probe of the region of high aluminum
concentration on the MEK-soaked red chip", and "XEDS spectrum obtained
from a probe of the region of high iron concentration on the
MEK-soaked red chip acquired with a 15 kV beam", respectively.
The authors draw the obvious conclusions from their elemental analysis
of components of the red layers: the aluminum-rich particles are
mostly elemental aluminum, with the relatively small quantities of
oxygen being accounted for by an oxide layer on the particles'
surfaces; the iron-rich particles are primarily oxygen and iron,
probably in the form of the oxidizer Fe2O3 which matches the observed
3:2 ratio of oxygen to iron atoms; and the matrix is composed almost
entirely of silicon, oxygen, and carbon, where most of the carbon was
washed away by the MEK. The matrix also may contain hydrogen, which is
not detected by XEDS analysis.
Given the data in Active Thermitic Material Discovered I summarize the
composition of the chips as follows:
gray layer: a hard homogeneous ceramic
composition: iron and oxygen
red layer: an engineered nano-composite substance, comprising:
matrix: a nano-structured semi-transparent porous material
composition: silicon, oxygen, and carbon
particles: homogeneously embedded in the matrix and consisting of:
thin predominantly hexagonal plates
dimensions: ~40nm thickness, ~1000nm diameter
composition: mostly aluminum, with small amounts of carbon and oxygen
rhombic faceted grains
dimensions: ~100nm diameter
composition: mostly iron and oxygen, probably as Fe2O3, with small
amounts of silicon, sulfur, and carbon
Thermal Behavior of the Chips
The structural and chemical analysis of the chips shows that, in every
relevant aspect, they fit the description of an engineered thermitic
nanocomposite. This prompts the obvious question: do the chips have
the thermal characteristics of an explosive aluminothermic material?
Although it might be difficult or impossible to measure the explosive
power of the chips, given their minute size, it is possible to measure
their exothermic behavior and thereby calculate their energy density
using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), a device that
gradually increases the temperature of a sample and records the amount
of heat it absorbs or emits as a function of temperature.
Fig. 19 compares the DSC traces of a chip from each of the four
samples.
A DSC trace is an approximate graph of energy density with respect to
temperature, the height of the trace indicating the rate at which the
sample's material absorbs or emits thermal energy. DSC traces of
energetic materials such as incendiaries and explosives have a
characteristic shape that remains near zero up to a certain
temperature range -- the ignition temperature -- and thereafter spikes
sharply upward. The energy density of the material can be estimated by
calculating the area under the curve.
Chips from each of the four samples, when subjected to thermal
analysis using the DSC, clearly show the exothermic behavior of an
energetic material. As seen in Fig. 19, the heights of the graphs vary
significantly from one chip to the next. The authors attribute this
variation to the fact that the chips had different ratios of active
red material to inert gray material.
Based on the DSC analysis, the authors estimate the energy density of
the four chips at 1.5, 3, 6, and 7.5 kJ/g, respectively. This compares
with a maximum yield from conventional thermite of slightly less than
4 kJ/g. In a final section of the paper underscoring the need for
further research into the red-gray chips, the authors suggest a
possible explanation for the exceptional energy content of the
red-layer material: perhaps elements in the porous matrix, such as
oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen, contribute to the reaction.
Fig. 29, labeled "DSC trace of sample 1 (blue line) compared with DSC
of xerogel Fe2O3/UFG Al nanocomposite (from Tillotson et al. [28]).
Both DSC traces show completion of reaction at temperatures below
560ºC".
A comparison of DSC traces of the red-gray chips to a published DSC
trace from an xerogel/nano-thermite energetic nanocomposite shows the
chips to be more energetic and to have a lower ignition temperature.
Ignition Residue Analysis
Because DSC processing causes the chips to ignite, the investigators
studied the residues and found, not surprisingly, minute iron-rich
spheroids, as well as silicon-rich spheroids. When subjected to XEDS
analysis, the iron-rich spheroids showed iron far in excess of oxygen,
as expected in an aluminothermic residue.
The paper contains the following micrographs and corresponding XEDS
spectra of spheroids from three different sources: residue from the
ignition of commercial thermite, residue from the ignition of the
red-gray chips, and World Trade Center dust.

Conclusions
I hope that my review of Active Thermitic Material Discovered, being
summary and somewhat interpretive, will serve as encouragement to read
the paper itself, which, as scientific papers go, is remarkably
accessible. The paper's conclusions -- a clear and cogent summary of
the results -- are reproduced here in their entirety:
We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in significant numbers
in dust associated with the World Trade Center destruction. We have
applied SEM/XEDS and other methods to characterize the small-scale
structure and chemical signature of these chips, especially of their
red component. The red material is most interesting and has the
following characteristics:
It is composed of intimately mixed aluminum, iron, oxygen, silicon and
carbon. Lesser amounts of other potentially reactive elements are
sometimes present, such as potassium, sulfur, barium, lead and copper.
[4,6]
The primary elements (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) are typically all present in
particles at the scale of tens to hundreds of nanometers, and detailed
XEDS mapping shows intimate mixing.
On treatment with methyl-ethyl ketone solvent, some segregation of
components was observed. Elemental aluminum became sufficiently
concentrated to be clearly identified in the pre-ignition material.
Iron oxide appears in faceted grains roughly 100 nm across whereas the
aluminum appears in plate-like structures. The small size of the iron
oxide particles qualifies the material to be characterized as
nano-thermite or super-thermite. Analysis shows that iron and oxygen
are present in a ratio consistent with Fe2O3. The red material in all
four WTC dust samples was similar in this way. Iron oxide was found in
the pre-ignition material whereas elemental iron was not.
From the presence of elemental aluminum and iron oxide in the red
material, we conclude that it contains the ingredients of thermite.
As measured using DSC, the material ignites and reacts vigorously at a
temperature of approximately 430ºC, with a rather narrow exotherm,
matching fairly closely an independent observation on a known
super-thermite sample. The low temperature of ignition and the
presence of iron-oxide grains less than 120 nm show that the material
is not conventional thermite (which ignites at temperatures above
900ºC) but very likely a form of super-thermite.
After igniting several red/gray chips in a differential scanning
calorimeter run to 700ºC, we found numerous iron-rich spheres and
spheroids in the residue, indicating that a very high-temperature
reaction had occurred, since the iron-rich product clearly must have
been molten to form these shapes. In several spheres, elemental iron
was verified since the iron content significantly exceeded the oxygen
content. We conclude that a high-temperature reduction-oxidation
reaction has occurred in the heated chips, namely, the thermite
reaction.
The spheroids produced by the DSC tests and by the flame test have an
XEDS signature (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) which is depleted in carbon and
aluminum relative to the original red material. This chemical
signature strikingly matches the chemical signature of the spheroids
produced by igniting commercial thermite, and of many of the
micro-spheres found in the WTC dust. [5]
The presence of an organic substance in the red material is expected
for super-thermite formulations in order to produce high gas pressures
upon ignition and thus make them explosive. The nature of this organic
material in these chips merits further exploration. We note that it is
likely also an energetic material, in that the total energy release
sometimes observed in DSC tests exceeds the theoretical maximum energy
of the classic thermite reaction.
Discussion
The implications of the discovery of unspent aluminothermic explosives
and matching residues in World Trade Center dust are staggering. There
is no conceivable reason for there to have been tons of high
explosives in the Towers except to demolish them, and demolition is
blatantly incompatible with the official 9/11 narrative that the
skyscrapers collapsed as a result of the jetliner impacts and fires.
The discovery of active thermitic materials adds to a vast body of
evidence that the total destruction of the Towers were controlled
demolitions, and to the subset of that evidence indicating the use of
aluminothermic materials to implement those demolitions.
That discovery also undermines the oft-heard claim that no explosives
residues were found, a claim that was never compelling, given the
apparent lack of evidence that any official agency looked for evidence
of explosive residues of any kind. Worse, the public record shows that
NIST not only failed to look for such evidence, it repeatedly evaded
requests by scientists and researchers to examine numerous facts
indicating explosives and incendiaries .
I expect that collapse theory defenders will dismiss the discovery of
active thermitic material in the same way that they dismissed the
thermite residues: by claiming that the samples were contaminated
and/or that there are other explanations for the origin of these
artifacts than pyrotechnics in the WTC Towers. "Debunkers" have
proposed that the iron-rich spheres were fly ash residues embedded in
the Towers' concrete, ignoring that the iron constituents in fly ash
are oxides rather than elemental iron. How will they explain away the
bi-layered chips, whose red layers have iron oxide and elemental
aluminum in the ratio of Fe2O3 thermite as nano-sized particles of
uniform shape?
As the work of explaining away the direct evidence of explosives
becomes more daunting, we will probably see even more reliance on the
mainstay of arguments against controlled demolition: those alleging
that insurmountable obstacles would face such a project. Three of the
most salient such workability arguments are:
That the surreptitious preparation of the Twin Towers was too prone to
exposure.
That setting up the demolitions to start from the Towers' crash zones
was technically unfeasible.
That thermite is unsuitable as a tool of controlled demolition.
These arguments have taken on the appearance of straw men with their
continued repetition -- including by NIST itself -- after being
publicly shown to be based on false assumptions. The 9-11Research FAQ
on Demolition addressed the first two starting in 2004, and Steven
Jones and others addressed the third starting in 2006 by pointing out
the existence of explosive variants of thermite.
FAQ: Controlled Demolition With Aluminothermics
With the publication of Active Thermitic Material Discovered it
becomes even easier to imagine plausible scenarios that answer
workability arguments. The characteristics of super-thermites and the
features of the thermitic fragments described in the paper, combined
with a survey of methods for the programmable wireless detonation of
energetic materials available in 2001, provides straightforward
answers to the most frequently-heard questions about the
implementation of controlled demolition of the Twin Towers -- answers
that thoroughly undermine assertions that controlled demolitions using
aluminothermics was not feasible.
Following are the three arguments listed above re-phrased as
questions. I start with the last argument, which is addressed in
detail in the discussion section of Active Thermitic Material
Discovered.
How Could Thermite, an Incendiary, Demolish the Towers, When Buildings
Are Normally Demolished Using High-Explosive Cutter Charges?
As is obvious from a review of the literature on energetic materials,
thermite-based pyrotechnics can be engineered to have explosive power
similar to conventional high-explosives while providing greater energy
density and much greater stability. Thus, aluminothermic cutter
charges similar to the shaped charges used in commercial demolitions
are entirely feasible. However, a variety of forms of thermite might
be used to demolish a steel-framed skyscraper in a way that uses no
cutter charges at all, as in this Hypothetical Blasting Scenario,
which posits three types of aluminothermic pyrotechnics: a thermate
incendiary coating sprayed onto steelwork, nano-thermite kicker
charges placed near steelwork, and thin-film nano-composite
high-explosives distributed throughout the building. The strategically
applied incendiary coatings, ignited several minutes before the
building's take-down, weaken the structure; but obvious failures start
only when the kicker charges break key supports, and the thin-film
high-explosives begin pulverizing the building from the initial
failure zone outward.
Why Weren't Demolition Charges Triggered by the Plane Crashes or the
Subsequent Fires?
Perhaps the plane crashes did trigger some of the charges. If so,
their blasts were lost in the jet-crash fireballs, and their damage
was insufficient to budge the Towers' tops. Thermite incendiaries in
the core ignited by the crash would not be visible over the fires,
unless dislodged to the building's exterior, as apparently happened in
the South Tower. However, this probably wasn't an issue because, in
contrast to conventional explosives, thermite has a very high ignition
temperature -- above 900ºC. Thus, thermitic incendiaries used around
the crash zones could have been designed to survive the fires. As for
thermitic explosives, they could have been designed to detonate only
on exposure to the very extreme conditions of temperature and pressure
provided by specialized detonators, and to deflagrate (merely burn) in
response to the kinds of pressures and temperatures produced by the
plane crashes and fires. As a fail-safe, the demolition sequence could
have been programmed to be triggered by premature ignitions of
pyrotechnics.
How Could the Demolition Equipment Have Been Installed in the Twin
Towers Without Tenants Noticing?
The simple answer is by disguising the equipment as normal building
components, so that not even the workers installing the components are
aware of the concealed pyrotechnics. Three aspects of the Hypothetical
Blasting Scenario that facilitate this are: the stability and
specificity of ignition conditions achievable with aluminothermic
pyrotechnics, minimization of the required access to steelwork, and
the use of a completely wireless ignition control system.

Israel's Super-Thermite Lab
http://www.arguewitheveryone.com/september-11th/68606-israels-super-thermite-lab.html
Christopher Bollyn
August 24, 2009
The crime of 9-11 is still very much at the center of the political
stage. It is the real reason why the Zionist-controlled Barack Obama
is president of the United States and why the 86-year-old Shimon Peres
is president of Israel. The lie has to be defended to protect the real
criminals. Shimon Peres, the father of Israel's nuclear arsenal, and
the Zionist criminals who helped him build nuclear weapons in the
Negev Desert are at the very center of the false-flag terrorism and
deception of 9-11. Peres' friends and Mossad agents like Arnon
Milchan, Rafi Eitan, Zvi Malkin, and Avraham Ben-Dor played crucial
roles in both 9-11 and the creation of Israel's nukes. This is not
merely coincidence.
Israel's Nuclear Research Center - Negev near Dimona develops
super-thermite films like that found in the rubble of the World Trade
Center.
Israel's secret and super-secure nuclear lab is where the extremely
powerful super-thermite of 9-11 was designed. The chief scientists
involved in the manufacturing of the nano-composite used to pulverize
the World Trade Center on 9-11 will be named in a forthcoming article
in this space.
This is the extremely powerful nano-composite used to pulverize the
World Trade Center on 9-11. This is a form of super-thermite that was
applied as a highly energetic film to the interior surfaces of the
Twin Towers.
The pyroclastic dust clouds of 9-11 looked very much like a nuclear
blast. The super-thermite that pulverized the Twin Towers was designed
at Israel's super-secret complex that manufactures nuclear weapons. |

"9/11 conspiracy theories"
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories
"...Jones has presented the hypothesis that thermite or nano thermite
was used to demolish the buildings."
_________________________________________________
The above is a scientifically factual statement.
Nope, it's just one of many disproven claims made by people about 911.
Unreacted Nano-Thermite (A high energy pyrotechnic explosive) found in
the dust from the world trade center. Mmmm, nothing to see here, move
along!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_tf25lx_3o
come on . that thermite. It is just harmless material used in the
concrete reinforcement . |
