Likewise with your reply here..
It's possible (in my view likely) the Al and Si are not crystalline but are spatially equant because of the solgel fabrication process. Also, we still need to properly define the exotherm by examining the pressure work. This has not been done.
Pure Rubbish, Solgel is a mixing process it does not alter components it only disperses them.
The. Pressure work is less energetic than popcorn.
Is the plan to claim that it can only be thermitic if it is entirely self oxidizing? And if it cannot react in inert gas, then it cannot have done damage to the towers? What will you do when it is shown to be explosive? You're avoiding the pressure work problem....
Pressure gas work is not an explosive, it is a gas generator a propellant not an explosive.
That's why it was introduced at a fireworks convention.
He didn't exactly look either... we should call him 'Captain Oxidation'
Too dumb for words.
This is like saying you know I have a cat because I told you I have a four legged furry animal that gets fed twice a day and has all the constituent amino acids of a cat, yet I have a dog and since you have failed to open your eyes and see my dog, you insist it is a cat. Millette could have opened our eyes by heating his samples to their reaction zone, and shown us the dog.
Ridiculous, with out a fuel source heating the chips to 3000C would have made no difference!
I know, SMH..... and where is any diagnostic pressure work? Not to mention the failed education of the lion's share of graduate Americans who buy the progressive collapse BS. Duncan is right about one thing... 911 truth reveals failed education.... of Americans.
The only education that has failed is yours, Progressive collapse has valid science behind it,
Trutherism has only fantasy.
Hmmm... are you revealing functionality of the grey layer? Thus far my bet has been on it being a foil used in layered fabrication of explosive bricks (no Beech nut, I'm not talking masonry), but maybe it's used to suppress the gaseous expansion? I thought that's what the Si was used for... to quench the reaction a bit.
That's just dumb but some what correct SI in Sol Gels does slow the burn rate, making the thermite less explosive not more. Your now Talking low burn rate Aerogel thermites.
Explosives create gaseous expansion, yes? So if the chips create gaseous expansion.... then they are 'true" explosives.
No fuel air blasts create gasious expansion from heat, explosives create shock waves known is detonation, or blast waves, there is very little heat involved.
Like the blast waves from the exploding meteor over Russia, that was just a rock falling from
Space.
I do wish the public had a better handle on the nature of the "ordinary organic polymer" because there doesn't seem to be anything 'ordinary' about the reactive chips. By some definitions, C-4 might be classified as an ordinary organic polymer. And the notion that all of this doesn't prove the towers were blown up with this stuff, well... if it's shown to be explosive, then we're getting close. We need the pressure work to be calculated, period.
C4 is a nitrate explosive, nothing like the paint chips.
Is there any good data on the radionuclide content of the WTC steel? Heck... is there even any WTC steel left to test? Might we look for those same isotopes in the grey layer of the chips? That could prove the grey layer is not from the towers.
It is an identical match for A36 structural steel.
The paper could use some work, but I imagine the authors thought the scientific community would flock to the research and validate their findings again and again. If anything, the paper has revealed the sheer cowardice of the academic world. It's deplorable that no other Universities sought to replicate their findings and that BYU submitted to what was basically bribery and extortion.
The paper was vanity publishing nothing more nothing less!
If there is to be a NEXT paper, it should incorporate more specific section criteria, and some statistical analysis on the accuracy of finding similar chips based on their criteria.
Sorry will never happen.
I'm only doubting that they are sufficient, as I have not personally seen the dust.
Doubt all you want, but it will never change reality.
Because the charge coating would inhibit the drift of Al after MEK soak. If it is the case that the SEM-EDS is destructive testing and MUST include coating, then a statistical analysis of the selected chips needs to be performed to show that the AL and Si were likely adjacent prior to soak.
What Oystein said, you don't understand the tests.
We disagree that it was baseless. Harrit is a brilliant man, up against implications which are bigger than any of us. He undoubtedly believed his MEK chip was not substatially different than the rest of his SEM-EDS tested reactive red/grey chips. At a certain point, the prosecutor cannot teleport the jury back to the crime seen to witness the crime. They must relive it through implication and drawn conclusions, and proof beyond a reasonable doubt. You raise the strong argument that there is presently reasonable doubt, but resolving the Al Si separation post MEK will crush that argument and make this case ready for trial.
That could be accomplished with one inert gas ignition test, wonder why Ziggi and Basile are so against doing accurate science?
