Mythbusters is wayyyy better than braniac! Although I have to admit, Braniac is amusing with the Tina turner look alike... lmao

 

Thermite... ahh yes....

You can make yer own, check around.

all you need if i remember correctly, is something very rusty, some aluminum cans, and a file. Just file the rust off and get a pile of rust, then file down the cans as well. not sure of the portions..... anyways, you mix the aluminum and rust in a skillet and cook em, cant remember temp. and yes, you DO need magnesium ribbon to light it.

check around, you CAN make this stuff. its been so long i dont remember the portions or cooking temp, but once you make it that **** will damn near eat through an engine block.
