If this thread were a horse, it would have been shot long ago.
If Max were a horse, he'd be a unicorn.
So I'll try again...
How would two WTC fireballs/explosions visually differ - (if at all) - if one included an aluminum/water explosion?
How do a molten-aluminum/water interaction, and a burning-aluminum/water interaction differ?
Max are you trying out for the next Batman movie as the Riddler?
you're Jim Carrey aren't you?I have simply posed some questions to the community, and would value peoples' responses.
Here is another question:
If the F4 Phantom crash test were modified such that the jet collided into water tanks just before hitting the concrete block, would the aluminum explode?
Note that molten aluminum reacts explosively with water, as the water becomes an oxidizer.
Also note that Crazy Chainsaw has argued several time that strong shock or vibration can in effect melt aluminum particles, negating the protection of the aluminum oxide layer. If an oxidizing agent such as rust or water is present, the aluminum can ignite explosively.
Water is of particular interest because after the aluminum swipes the oxygen, hydrogen gas is left, adding to the explosive force.
