thermite nie klu x silap ade kuar kat citer THE ROCK...
yg derang nak bakar VX gas tue...xtau la klu tue hollywood myth, but derang cakap mmg thermite reaction (bakar) powerful enuff to consume VX gas..
thermite reaction nie basically exothermic chemical reaction
iron oxide mix with aluminium -tak sure which variant but aku rasa Fe2O3 or Fe3O4 pasal klu x silap nie la variant iron oxide paling stable at room temperature and occuring naturally as hematite or ferrite
aluminium being Al je kot..
so masa thermite reaction nie, Al is just being oxidized by another metal oxide, the famous substance being iron oxide coz murah....
