Has anyone else done impact tests on Steel and Aluminum, I got some interesting findings in mine, I think that the impact of the plane alone was not what caused the major damage.
Steel does not react well with Aluminum, so it can actually embed into the Aluminum then when exposed to heat it burns. That produces Iron oxide in direct contact with Aluminum. Do you think it is worth pursuing?
What I found it you hit the steel hard enough it fractures into peaces and dust, the dust can be embedded in the Aluminum or in the oxide, it does not burn until heated, and in some cases, it forms a conduit to provide Oxygen to the Aluminum.
What I am wondering is if some of this material could have been formed in the initial Impact and could it have raised the temperature of the initial blast front, above the temperature of the Burning Jet fuel.
If so when air once again hit the steel in the central core, some of it might have actually began burning down toward the basement, because of a chimney effect. That would have greatly increased the temperatures in the central core causing it to fail first. The steel would have to burn downward, pulled by gravity, as it would have been impossible for it to have been pulled upward against gravity.
It is the same principal that forms the glowing yellow aluminum-steel-carbon mixture that I believe is the molten material that is dripping form the towers that I intend to document as soon as possible.
PS, Dr Jones never mixed fine steel dust into his samples that was all he left out I did the same experiment only added steel dust and got a very different reaction.
Please tell me what you think, any opinion or knowledge would he helpful.
