You could look at Jones' work and see how it does not take an expert to figure out Jones' work is junk. Any lay person could see the errors in Jones' work, and the outright lies.
He came up with this thermite junk years after 9/11 because he does not like the war in Iraq. He made it up. Not that I like the war in Iraq but Saddam did break his agreements many times and shot at our planes. The Taliban should have rounded up UBL and they would still have power and life.
Where are Jones' facts? I can come up with facts for both wars to argue either side, why is Jones not able to find one single fact for 9/11.
If your question was rhetorical, please excuse my Jones rant. But he is very personable just being a idiot with his politics and telling lies to bring about his ends. My opinion on his intent, fact on his lies.
What really surprised me about DR. Jones is that he tried to get a hydrogen reaction by spraying aluminum in a furnace with high pressure water.
That showed me that he did not know anything about the Oxide layer of aluminum which was critical to any reaction with it and any Oxygen containing material.
I once saw a hydrogen reaction, a large Ingot of Aluminum destine to be bumper stock, for semis, on fire glowing white in the rain.
While we were stuck in a traffic jam do to a semi sliding off the new slippery pavement, and the Aluminum Ingot on back actually undergoing a Oxide reaction.
What was curious to me is the reaction continued as long as the engine was running, when the driver shut down the engine the hydrogen reaction stopped. Something about the running diesel engine in the mack semi cause the reaction to continue.
I always wondered what that was!
IT is not even a matter of temperature, as anytime the oxide layer is broken aluminum will react to Oxygen, and aluminum can burn either white or yellow depending on how the Oxide layer is compromised.
Aluminum however does not usually flow while glowing yellow as DR. Jones does claim, he is right about that, because of the high conductivity of the material it simply cools to fast, but if you add a material though a high impact situation, such as steel that reduces the conductivity of the Aluminum then the material can glow and flow.
You can not however melt the materials together as the aluminum Oxide will float the materials away from the aluminum inside the oxide layer.
It can only form though high impact, and interestingly enough even a small amount of material included into Aluminum below the oxide layer can dramatical change the conductivity rate of the aluminum.
Also I wish to point out in an Oxygen atmosphere you will never see pure aluminum without the oxide layer because the transition of aluminum to aluminum oxide is virtually instantaneous.
It only took me a few seconds on the phone to notice that Dr. Jones was selling thermite snake oil.
My one great wish is to continue the work on the oxide layer of aluminum, and to do more research on that, but for that I need a good sample of the material, I found such a sample but unfortunately they will not let me put my hands on it.

After all it is for Science you know, and I did promise to return the rest of the crown after I was done with the Aluminum Oxide Experiments.
