    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermite

    Oxygen-balanced iron thermite 2Al + Fe 2 O 3 has theoretical maximum density of 4.175 g/cm 3 an adiabatic burn temperature of 3135 K or 2862 °C or 5183 °F (with phase transitions included, limited by iron, which boils at 3135 K), the aluminum oxide is (briefly) molten and the produced iron is mostly liquid with part of it being in gaseous ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrotechnic_composition

    smoke compositions – burn slowly, produce smoke, plain or colored; delay compositions – burn at constant slow speed, used to introduce delays into the firing train; pyrotechnic heat sources – produce large amount of heat and little to no gases, slow-burning, often thermite-like compositions; sparklers – producing white or colored sparks

  4. Nano-thermite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-thermite

    Nano-thermite or super-thermite is a metastable intermolecular composite (MIC) characterized by a particle size of its main constituents, a metal fuel and oxidizer, under 100 nanometers. This allows for high and customizable reaction rates. Nano-thermites contain an oxidizer and a reducing agent, which are intimately mixed on the nanometer scale.

    The Sun is 1.4 million kilometers (4.643 light-seconds) wide, about 109 times wider than Earth, or four times the Lunar distance, and contains 99.86% of all Solar System mass. The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star that makes up about 99.86% of the mass of the Solar System. [26]

    You could hit it or kick it to remove the thermite that hasn't started burning yet from the burning thermite but this would only reduce the burn not put it out. Incredibleman007 09:18, 24 September 2008 (UTC) Thermite (Metallothermic reactions) can be halted by extracting heat very quickly.

  7. Starlite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starlite

    White sands test sample, owned by Thermashield, LLC. Starlite is an intumescent material said to be able to withstand and insulate from extreme heat. It was invented by British hairdresser and amateur chemist Maurice Ward (1933–2011) during the 1970s and 1980s, and received significant publicity after coverage of the material aired in 1990 on the BBC science and technology show Tomorrow's ...

  9. Thermal burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_burn

    A thermal burn is a type of burn resulting from making contact with heated objects, such as boiling water, steam, hot cooking oil, fire, and hot objects. Scalds are the most common type of thermal burn suffered by children, but for adults thermal burns are most commonly caused by fire. [ 2 ]
