    Yes but i never brought it up here in the first place. You even thanked Dohnjoe for the post he made. Come on now tell others to follow the rules?

    He didn’t drag the topic down into free fall. The post was about structural engineering and the damage caused by fire to steel construction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,686 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    How do you explain the lack of aluminum oxide?

    We should see equal parts aluminum oxide and pure iron, these are the two byproducts left behind by a thermite reaction.

    That doesn’t exclude the possibility of flash points in the fire that were hotter.

    Or the fact that with windows blown out across the floors of the WTC that fires would have very likely have been drawing large amounts of forced air through the building and with a resultant increase in temperature of all fire in the building.

    I'd posit an "open" fire as burning in an open area such as a field with no chimney or forced draught effect.

    Much like a fire in a fireplace at home, simply placing newspaper over the hearth opening will increase the draught and the rate and temperature of combustion.

    The fire resultant from the aircraft at the WTC cannot be considered as open fires, particularly during the fuel burn off phase.

    What I’m telling you which applies equally to everyone here is that free fall discussion belongs in the free fall thread.

    The fact that the quote mentioned a building fell does not make it a free fall post.

    How do you explain the lack of Iron oxide in the list? It's a silly question.

    Debunkers even accept there was Iron Oxide, but not listed!!!!

    I believe cheerful's entered the phase where he's going to moan about Overheal being a terrible moderator, declare he's leaving forever (for the 10th time I think) and/or attempt to get himself banned.

    In my opinion this is all a pretty transparent act to avoid problems he can't address and to avoid the fact that he's kind of snookered himself again.

    Iron oxide would be present regardless. That’s not interesting. The buildings were made up of thousands of tons of iron. If not hundreds of thousands. Iron rusts, and forms iron oxide on its skin. It would be frightfully interesting however to find equal parts aluminum oxide microspheres where we find iron microspheres.

    It not on the list so it invalidates your entire position. Al is listed (aluminum)

    Where we see close ups of 100 nanometer iron microspheres we should see an equal number of 100 nanometer aluminum oxide microspheres.

    This is not from the RJ Lee study.

    Also, I'm a bit unclear what your response and explanation is.

    It seems you're claiming that there was aluminium oxide, which would be a contradiction of the RJ Lee study which says there wasn't any...

    Is the RJ Lee study wrong now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,407 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Was looking for something else, but instead found this:

    There is a high concentration of aluminum + Iron oxide in the red layer. This is the ingredients for thermite.

    If there was no reaction- explain the Fe Iron spheres after the burning test?

    6034073

    Previously molten Iron- on the burned Red layer.

    The thermite reaction is, 1 part iron oxide + 1 part aluminum -> aluminum oxide + iron.

    Where is the aluminum oxide?

    According to "Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers", 10th, coal gas burns at about 3,590°F (1,977°C) under 100% air conditions.

    Most organic compounds have a constant-pressure adiabatic flame temperature in a narrow range around 1950 °C.

    It would be no surprise to find Iron spheres here correct.

    9/11 fires are 1000 degrees Celsius. All mainstream studies about the collapse of the Twin Tower says this.

    How could anyone extrapolate "nano-thermite" from this report when the explanation is right there in black and white, from the authors of the report

    Cheerful, firstly, you lied when you said I was on ignore.

    Secondly, RJ Lee himself is saying that the iron microspheres were formed by the fires and that this was perfectly reasonable.
    He does not say anything about nanothermite.

    Are you calling RJ Lee, the guy behind the study, is lying?

    :confused:

    Yeah, but it's not an exact science since they have to theorise about the temps, it could have been hotter for a period. National Geographic used the same jet fuel in their experiment and it burnt at up to 2,000c. The steel took just a few minutes before it failed.

    Not that it matters, 1000c is more than enough to severely weaken load bearing steel to the point of failure and cause thermal expansion

    Lol..

    Elemental aluminium is not aluminium oxide.
    You've been arguing up and down that when the study says "iron" they can only possibly mean elemental iron.
    You are contradicting yourself in a very embarrassing way.

    There is no aluminum oxide shown. Elemental aluminum was a large part of the building. Thousands of tons of aluminum exoskeleton. The planes themselves were aluminum primarily. Not to mention any amount of furnishings that were aluminum, like office equipment and appliances.

    No the problem here is you are saying iron microspheres formed as a result of being burned in the lab at what, 460 C or whatever right.

    So, the byproducts of that burning, if it is thermite, should be 1 part elemental iron, 1 part aluminum oxide. If the elemental iron shows up as microspheres the aluminum oxide would show up as microspheres also.

    The Jet fuel has an open air burn temp of 1030 degrees Celsius ( 9/11 conditions) and No side of the debate to date has denied that.
    You decided to push the temp up higher and may have got hotter, and what do you base this on?
    This is a forum for dealing with recognized details 'dreaming it' not acceptable, NIST says no steel melted therefore no pure Iron product or component inside the building could have melted down inside the building to make pure Iron spheres.
    The experiment silly- placed a pool of liquid fuel under a thinly H- steel beam and set it on fire. Steel had no fireproofing, had no shear studs, had no construction fittings to keep it from sagging. Just placed on a barrier from one end to the next and allowed to sag till it fell off.

    You forget here all steel is not equal. Steel has different stabilities, and strengths and some steel will diminish and soften faster.

    And just a reminder from the first post in the thread:
    Chris Sarns:
    West isn't qualified to second-guess the RJ Lee Group. Let's look at this description of what the consulting firm does: "With more than 30 years in the business of testing materials, RJ Lee had the needed expertise in industrial forensics, in determining the severity of an environmental hazard, and of health risks."

    RJ Lee is clear that "the microspheres were formed during the event" — not before, not after, but "during." There is no legitimate reason to doubt the findings of the RJ Lee Group's analysis.

    Richard J. Lee, founder of the RJ Lee Group itself says:
    The fire is sufficiently hot to exceed the plastic strength of the structural steel and the building collapses.
    Nothing about nanothermite there.

    And regarding the formation of the microspheres, which both Cheerful and AE9/11 contend can only have been formed by thermite, Richard Lee states:
    What about the Iron mircospheres? The iron has a thin layer of rust flakes that can easily be removed by sticky tape. The iron is heated red hot or hotter and subjected to hurricane force blast furnace like wind. The iron flakes are liberated as small particles and some iron is vapourised. Like drops of water the iron flakes form molten spheres that solidify and the fume also condenses into spheres, the most efficient geometrical form.
    https://www.metabunk.org/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.nmsr.org_rjlee.jpg

    No mention of thermite at all.

    And given that the study also shows that there's no aluminium oxide present, it completely debunks the nanothermite theory.

    As AE9/11 said:
    There is no legitimate reason to doubt the findings of the RJ Lee Group's analysis.

    The Jet fuel has an open air burn temp of 1030 degrees Celsius

    My mistake, I thought this video was in Celsius, it's in Fahrenheit (2000F, 1090c)

    So in this National Geographic documentary, with jet fuel (the same type from the US airliners), it burns at approx 1000c, the steel fails in 3 minutes 50 seconds

    First operation: 9/11 the official story not entirely inaccurate. Al Qaeda existed, and the men involved were terrorists.
    Al Qaeda is a proxy force for the Pakistan ISI and Saudi Arabia. An operation of this size could not have got the go ahead without them knowing in advance. CIA allowed it to happen., evidence supports that conclusion.

    Second operation: CIA/ Fascist international placed the demolitions/Nano thermite inside the building before the attack. Who exactly all the players are here unsure. I have strong suspicion Donald Rumsfeld was one of the leaders of the conspiracy and George Tenet head of the CIA.

    Yesterday you claimed the Aluminum sheeting + rust may have caused it a theory you proposed and considered.
    You have a different view today- Al is not important here.
    I see there Al in the red layer with Iron oxide- the ingredients to cause a reaction. 
    Ignition is the fires- chips went wild and ignited inside the building.
    Harrit does show there Iron Oxide particles and Al particles placed in the matrix of the chips. I showed you the XEDS and other chemical analysis images.

    And as a final additional point, this letter shows that AE9/11 is completely and utterly dishonest.
    They published their "debunk" of Mick West. They very obviously trawled through his forum and posts to do so.
    I stumbled onto that letter by complete accident.
    They saw it and know about it.

    They still use the RJ Lee and claim it supports their claims.

    Cheerful is innocent in this regard as he doesn't read much beyond what AE9/11, so probably has never seen this letter.

    AE9/11 know that their followers are the same and won't fact check, so they know they can get away with such blatant dishonesty.

    And then, they have the gall to have their attack article say that Mick West doesn't have the authority to contradict the RJ Lee Group...

    It's staggering they still have followers when they seem to be actively mocking them.

    That 'theory' was that, if thermite reactions possibly occured it was only as a phenomenon of iron oxide in the structure mixing with aluminum in the structure at high heat.

    However, it also requires there to be evidence of the after-product of thermite reactions: pure iron, and aluminum oxide.

    So cheerful, you are now disagreeing with yourself and you are calling into question the work of the RJ Lee group rather than just give up your debunked theory.

    That's very intellectually dishonest.

    Also, you've been switching between the notions that the microspheres were formed by heat and that they were formed as a by product of the thermetic reaction.
    Which is it?

    I suspect you are dishonestly claiming it's both so you can use different arguments to suit your position.

    Richard Lee states that they were caused by heat, not a thermite reaction.
    So again, the RJ Lee group's study debunks the nanothermite theory.

    The position we agree on is- Iron Fe Microspheres were identified. My position is different to how they got produced though inside the building!

    My basic disagreement is the fires were not hot enough inside the building to make them. When mainstream studies dispute temperatures higher than 1000 degrees Celsius then I don’t regard my approach here as absurd at all!

    Steel has a lower melting point than Iron and molten Iron sphere is not what you discover in dust after building fires. This is disputed evidence? Clear the air and i am open to a correction!

    Another poster on here believe is RJ Lee is concurring with Mick West and backs him up.

    513916.png

    Applied to the Towers in what way?
    Hurricane blast furnace?
    How does Iron vaporise inside the twin towers?
    How hot where the temps (“red hot or hotter?) All this is discounted by the other poster.

    Harrit
    Quote:
    “Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminium is present. The iron oxide and aluminium are intimately mixed in the red material.

    There’s a list of chemical materials found in the WTC dust not presented on this list by RJ Lee and nobody complains there and this material was not an isolated powder substance with the residue after burn noticeable in experiments ( you find the video online) I saw no dripping coming off the burned chips in the experiment.

    When a low flame (hit the chip) at 430 degrees Celsius a white hot flame enveloped the chip and no standard thermite mix can accomplish that at temperatures this low. The temp of the white flame after burn was between 1500 degrees Celsius and 2500 degrees Celsius. A gassy substance was also released (might be carbon or something else Harrit unsure)

    The chemical particles are ingrained in a very tightly packed chip matrix.  We can’t compare standard thermite to this highly advanced military grade material. I know another poster thinks we staring at thermite here and is not an advanced incendiary with unique chemistry.

    This is directly contradicted by the report you are citing. Specifically the 3rd paragraph

    Cheerful, I don't understand why you are pretending I'm on ignore. It's very odd.

    And RJ Lee does concurr with the official story. He says so.
    He specifically outlines how the iron microspheres formed.
    You are saying he, and his groups study is wrong, in contradiction to the original post you made.

    RJ Lee also does not at all say anything about thermite or any kind.
    He specifically stats that the spheres were created by heat, not as a byproduct of a thermite reaction of any kind.

    Claiming that he and his study supports the conspiracy theory is dishonest. Doubly so after this letter.
    The chemical particles are ingrained in a very tightly packed chip matrix.  We can’t compare standard thermite to this highly advanced military grade material. I know another poster thinks we staring at thermite here and is not an advanced incendiary with unique chemistry.
     
    This argument is nonsense and shows that you don't actually know what you're talking about.
    You previously quoted the debunked Harritt study saying:
    The iron oxide and aluminium are intimately mixed in the red material.
    You and the frauds at AE9/11 are claiming that the magicnanothermite is composed of iron oxide and aluminium.
    It doesn't matter how "highly advanced military grade" it is or if it's in a "tightly packed chip matrix", the chemical reaction will remain fundamentally the same.
    That chemical reaction is given in the equation:
    a250a0821cc743b0d77f7df07529c458af5076a5.png

    For any kind of thermitelike material that uses iron oxide and aluminium as it's reactants, the byproducts are going to iron and aluminium oxide in equal amounts.
    That is true for thermite. It's true for nanothermite.

    If you are going to claim that there were different chemicals involved, then this contradicts your previous claims and the findings of the Harrit paper.

    I asked you before to provide the chemical equation for nanothermite's reaction, but we all know that you are unable to provide this.

    So if it was nanothermite, there would be lots of iron and aluminium oxide.
    But according to RJ Lee, for whom you have no legitimate reason to doubt the findings of...
    1. there was no aluminium oxide. (You have not at all addressed or explained this.)
    and
    2. the iron found was produced by heat, not the byproduct of a thermite reaction.

    So since there are none of the byproducts of a thermite reaction of any variety present in the dust of 9/11, there was no thermite or any variety

    Even if you're right and the temperatures given in the official story were wrong and they were in reality higher, then you still have to reject the notion of nanothermite because of the lack of byproducts.

    No byproducts = no nanothermite.
    RJ Lee's study shows that there were no byproducts.

    So you have to find another explanation for how it got so hot in the buildings...
    Perhaps a space laser of some kind...

    The position we agree on is- Iron Fe Microspheres were identified. My position is different to how they got produced though inside the building!

    My basic disagreement is the fires were not hot enough inside the building to make them. When mainstream studies dispute temperatures higher than 1000 degrees Celsius then I don’t regard my approach here as absurd at all!

    Steel has a lower melting point than Iron and molten Iron sphere is not what you discover in dust after building fires. This is disputed evidence? Clear the air and i am open to a correction!

    Another poster on here believe is RJ Lee is concurring with Mick West and backs him up.

    Applied to the Towers in what way?
    Hurricane blast furnace?
    How does Iron vaporise inside the twin towers?
    How hot where the temps (“red hot or hotter?) All this is discounted by the other poster.

    Quote:
    “Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminium is present. The iron oxide and aluminium are intimately mixed in the red material.

    There’s a list of chemical materials found in the WTC dust not presented on this list by RJ Lee and nobody complains there and this material was not an isolated powder substance with the residue after burn noticeable in experiments ( you find the video online) I saw no dripping coming off the burned chips in the experiment.

    When a low flame (hit the chip) at 430 degrees Celsius a white hot flame enveloped the chip and no standard thermite mix can accomplish that at temperatures this low. The temp of the white flame after burn was between 1500 degrees Celsius and 2500 degrees Celsius. A gassy substance was also released (might be carbon or something else Harrit unsure)

    The chemical particles are ingrained in a very tightly packed chip matrix.  We can’t compare standard thermite to this highly advanced military grade material. I know another poster thinks we staring at thermite here and is not an advanced incendiary with unique chemistry.
     

    So let's move past that: you contend the heat was thermitic. Cool. Ok. Let's work with that.

    We don't know that the chips are military, or advanced military grade. There are military specs on thermite, I am sure, but these have not been compared to milspec aka MIL-STD. Jumping to the conclusion they are military or some advancement without proof is a bias.

    So, in the lab, when they burned the chips they clearly would have seen byproducts of the reaction. These should be: Iron, and Aluminum Oxide. They were not.

    You want to suppose that it was NOT an FeO(III)+Al reaction, and that's your prerogative. However, none of these papers bring forward any alternative chemical reaction that would both explain the composition while showing it is hot enough to melt structural steel. I don't see the byproducts of a thermitic reaction here. The chemistry is universal, there are only a handful of thermitic fuels and catalysts:

    "Thermites have diverse compositions. Fuels include aluminium, magnesium, titanium, zinc, silicon, and boron. Aluminium is common because of its high boiling point and low cost. Oxidizers include bismuth(III) oxide, boron(III) oxide, silicon(IV) oxide, chromium(III) oxide, manganese(IV) oxide, iron(III) oxide, iron(II,III) oxide, copper(II) oxide, and lead(II,IV) oxide."

    So, you say alright yeah we see Silicon and Aluminum in the spectrogram right?

    Well, you can make thermite from Aluminum and Silicon dioxide. But, the byproducts are still aluminum oxide and pure silicon. Even then, it makes a poor weapon, bc it's not self-starting, it requires sulfur. We do see pure sulfur in the analysis, Also, witnesses would have reported distinct odors and off-color flames.

    eg.

    http://thehomescientist.blogspot.com/2010/03/experiment-silicon-dioxide-thermite.html

    "This composition is extremely hard to ignite, so I added sulfur as well. "

    Sulfur helper reaction: 3S + 2Al -> Al2S3
    Actual thermite: 3SiO2 + 4Al -> 2Al2O3 + 3Si

    "After the reaction, I broke apart the slag and found a number of pieces of pure silicon metal. These were caked in aluminum oxide and aluminum sulfide, and smelled awful. I treated the pieces with hydrochloric acid to remove this, since silicon is very resistant to acids. This worked beautifully and gave me some excellent samples for my element collection, shown in the last photo. The best part of all this was that I made metal from sand!

    "You can see the blue flame once the reaction got started, caused by burning sulfur (the smell was less pleasant). This reaction burned for a much longer time than the other compositions I've done, and much hotter as silicon's melting point is 2577 degrees Fahrenheit!"

    There's no aluminum sulfide in the WTC dust. No indication, thusly, that the aluminum and the sulfur chemically reacted. And we would still expect to see heaps of aluminum oxide. Harrit did not report finding it. Neither did RJ Lee. So, what other possible chemical reaction buttresses the thermite theory?

    This is directly contradicted by the report you are citing. Specifically the 3rd paragraph

    www.nmsr.org_rjlee.jpg

    FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F).
    https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a6384/debunking-911-myths-world-trade-center/

    Iron has a higher melting point than Steel, still overlooking this :)
    There should be no previously Iron molten spheres in the dust ( the temperatures here are correct)

    Rj Lee fault they revealed in their paper how it happened. Every argument you guys have here falls apart here.

    Iron melting point
    1,538 °C

    Still well above the plastic strength limit of either material class.

    I posted a video of jet fuel burning at 2,000 F

    So you are claiming the RJ Lee report is incorrect?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,231 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    I am pretty sure that iron microspheres can be created through simple friction, i.e. iron striking concrete to produce sparks, is this correct?

    If I could be arsed I'd check this stuff with an engineer

    ?

    You realise that 1030 degrees Celsius, right?
    Iron melting point is 1,538 °C
    Iron vaporizing 2870 degrees Celsius.
