you certainly need to do the experiment in the absence of air.
Originally posted by pteridine100% metallic iron, proved to come from a reaction in the absence of air. How's that?
I have proved that combustion occurred in the DSC and you did not understand it or won't admit it. See my previous posts using Jones own data. Jones even alludes to it in his paper but is also wont to admit it. Page 27 "As this test was done in air it is possible that some of the enhancement of energy output may have come from air oxidation of the organic component." Possible? Certain. They can't do arithmetic, either.

Jones now knows it and his education, under the tutelage of concerned chemists, will continue so that he may produce better papers in the future.

The 100% number was to stop your blathering about the spheres. There is no way to get 100% of iron from any source. You can get 5 or 6 nines with a little work.
Will I be upset? No. I am disinterested in the result.
In one case a sphere was about 88% Fe with the remainder being O, less than that for the others. Their compositions don't matter until the thermitic reaction is shown. Because no one knows the how and when or if they were already in the matrix, they are not proof.
Henryco is his screen name. He provides his real name in the thread. He was really annoyed that he couldn't reproduce the results.
Originally posted by pteridineNo proof yet. It's still just paint, turbo.

And they keep on cracking until a temperature of about 650 degrees, where it starts peeling off and forming scales. This continues to about 800 degrees, when the scaling becomes excessive, but it does not burn. So the paint on the steel beams is stable beyond 800 degrees Centigrade.
