Thermite is an explosive

thermobaric munition including a composite explosive material, the composite explosive material having a high-explosive composition, and a detonable energetic material dispersed within the high-explosive composition, the detonable energetic material in the form of a thin film, the thin film having at least one layer composed at least in part by a reducing metal and at least one layer composed at least in part by a metal oxide.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal oxide is an oxide of a transition metal element.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the reducing metal is aluminum or aluminum-based.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the metal oxide is copper oxide or tungsten oxide.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the detonable energetic material is formed such that upon detonation of the high explosive composition, the detonable energetic material reacts within 20 ms.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the detonable energetic material is formed such that upon detonation of the high explosive composition, the detonable energetic material reacts within 10 ms.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the detonable energetic material is formed such that upon detonation of a high explosive composition, the detonable energetic material reacts within 5 ms.

US patent 5505799: called, Nanoengineered Explosives, Filed 1993, granted 1996,

I forwarded this patent to Prof. Harrit who did immediately respond and called it a good catch, and begged me I should write a blog entry about it. Also, Prof. Jones did respond immediately, too, with the multilayers working on his mind. Because this patent describes a three-layered “near” explosive material.

This patent looks like the manual for what was found in the WTC dust. Maybe the biggest hint is the last figure (31) published in the work “Actice Thermitic Material Discovered In Dust Of The World Trade Center Catastrophe” by Niels Harrit et al,

showing a residue with two red-grey-layers and other layers as well.

I will ask 1,000 patent holders of Nanoengineered explosives if they notice their product !
and get my WTC Samples tested by a lab...

Abstract

Ordered mesoporous Fe₂O₃ was synthesized using cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) and polyethylene glycol octadecyl ether (Brij 76) surfactant templates. The gel time was monitored as a function of the concentration ratio of precursor to the surfactant. As-prepared FeOOH gels were extracted in ethanol to remove the surfactant and calcined at 200–400°C for 6 h so that α-Fe₂O₃ is produced. The FTIR spectra of these gels reveal complete removal of surfactant and water impurities and the presence of Fe-O vibrations. TEM images show ordering of mesopores in the gels prepared using surfactant templating and no ordering of the pores in the gels prepared without surfactant. The gels after calcinations were mixed with aluminum nanoparticles to prepare nanoenergetic composites. The burn rate of the nanocomposites containing ordered mesoporous Fe₂O₃ mixed with Al nanoparticles was compared with the one containing Fe₂O₃ with no ordering of mesopores and Al nanoparticles.

Abstract A complex modulated structure of reactive elements that have the capability of considerably more heat than organic explosives while generating a working fluid or gas. The explosive and method of fabricating same involves a plurality of very thin, stacked, multilayer structures, each composed of reactive components, such as aluminum, separated from a less reactive element, such as copper oxide, by a separator material, such as carbon. The separator material not only separates the reactive materials, but it reacts therewith when detonated to generate higher temperatures. The various layers of material, thickness of 10 to 10,000 angstroms, can be deposited by magnetron sputter deposition. The explosive detonates and combusts a high velocity generating a gas, such as CO, and high temperatures.
