THERMITE IS A POWERFUL SUBSTANCE WHICH CAN BURN THROUGH
PRACTICALLY ANYTHING, SAVE TUNGSTEN. IT IS ESPECIALLY OF USE IN
TRYING TO CRACK OPEN A FORTRESS FONE.  NOW HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT.
IT IS VERY SIMPLE.

THE FIRST STEP IN MAKING THERMITE IS TO MAKE HEMATITE. IN LAYMAN'S
TERMS, HEMATITE IS IRON OXIDE (RUST). HERE IS A GOOD METHOD OF
MAKING LARGE QUANTITIES OF RUST.  YOU WILL ELECTROLYZE A METER
ROD, SUCH AS A COMMON NAIL. YOU WILL NEED A SOURCE OF DC POWER AS
WELL.  AN ELECTRIC TRAIN TRANSFORMER IS PERFECT.  ATTATCH THE ROD
TO THE POSITIVE WIRE.  THEN PLACE THE ROD AND THE NEGATIVE WIRE
IN OPPOSITE SIDES OF A GLASS JAR FILLED WITH WATER.  PUT A LITTLE
SALT IN THE WATER, JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE IT CONDUCT WELL (A
TEASPOON).  LET THE SETUP SIT OVERNIGHT.  IN THE MORNING, THERE
WILL BE A DARK RED CRUD IN THE JAR. FILTER ALL THE CRUD OUT OF
THE WATER OF JUST FISH IT OUT WITH A SPOON. NOW YOU WILL NEED TO
DRY IT OUT.  HEAT IT IN AN IRON POT UNTIL IT ALL TURNS A NICE
LIGHT RED.

THE OTHER INGREDIANT YOU WILL NEED IS ALUMINUM FILINGS.  YOU CAN
EITHER FILE DOWN A BAR OF ALUMINUM, OR (AS I SUGGEST) BUY
ALUMINUM FILINGS AT YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE SHOP. (IF YOU BUY THE
BAR, USE NO LESS THAN 94% PURE ALUMINUM.  IT IS CALLED
DURALUMIN.) THAT'S ALMOST IT.  NOW, MIX TOGETHER THE RUST AND
ALUMINUM FILINGS.  THE RATIO SHOULD BE 8 GRAMS OF RUST PER 3
GRAMS OF ALUMINUM FILINGS. THAT'S THERMITE!

NOT, TO LIGHT IT.  STICK A LENGTH OF MAGNESIUM RIBBON IN A PILE
OF THE THERMITE.  (EITHER STEAL IT FROM CHEM LAB OR BUY IT AT
YOUR LOCAL HARDWARE STORE. IF NOT, ORDER FROM A CHEMICAL SUPPLY
HOUSE.  IT'S PRETTY CHEAP.)  THE RIBBON SHOULD STICK INTO THE
THERMITE LIKE A FUSE.  NOW YOU LIGHT THE MAGNESIUM WITH A
BLOWTORCH.  (DON'T WORRY, THE TORCH ISN'T HOT ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE
THERMITE.)  WHEN THE BURNING MAGNESIUM REACHES THE THERMITE, IT
WILL LIGHT. WHEN THE THERMITE BURNS, GET THE HELL BACK!  THAT
STUFF CAN VAPORIZE CARBON STEEL. IT DOES WONDERS ON HUMAN FLESH.
