    They don't claim that at all. The description they had was (Fe0) is it Iron Oxide.

    You claimed it ignited below 1000 degrees Celsius and then the Iron turned Molten, provide that quote.

    "It is shown that the cylindrical iron and carbon–steel specimens of diameters 1.5 and 3 mm ignite in oxygen at the moment the oxide film loses its protective properties, supposedly, as a result of melting of its main component (FeO) at 1644 K. The ignition temperature does not depend on the oxygen pressure (in the range 0.2—20 MPa). The ignition is preceded by substantial (about 100 K) self–heating of a specimen owing to the heat released upon oxidation of the metal. A carbon–steel foil ignites in oxygen (0.14—0.6 MPa) according to the Semenov—Frank–Kamenetskii mechanism at an initial surface temperature not lower than 1233 K."

    In the controlled experiment, yes.

    In the WTC, iron oxide sheathing is easily unseated by the kinematics of a building crashing down. Very similar to striking steel with flint, but really steel and other objects crashing into more steel. The experimenters in this paper did not introduce any kinematic effects.

    Iron oxide can't change to Molten Iron this way. It is game over if it could! Reduction would have to occur here first.

    Fe spheres found are elemental Iron previously Molten. Steel explantation does not make sense either, its an alloy mixed with other elements, impure and
    not 100 percent Iron.

    Cheerful. They didn't find 100% pure iron. Iron, when it's exposed to air forms iron oxide.
    No sample of iron left out in open air is 100% pure.

    And remember, they didn't find aluminium oxide. So there was no thermite or nanothermite.

    As I said the oxide layer is not a factor if it is scraped off, such as during a building collapse or when striking eg. Flint against steel.

    I fairly certain you argue over the word during and dispute its meaning :D

    They clearly say here the Iron melted inside the building. And particles of Iron (elemental formed)

    Not after or before the event.

    It says neither of these things. You are misquoting and misrepresenting the study.
    I don't know why you are still bothering when it's proven your theory wrong.

    It says, very clearly, that there was no aluminium oxide.
    If there's no aluminium oxide, then no thermite burned there.
    This study disproves your theory.

    How do you explain that to yourself?

    He didn’t say before, during, or after. What are you talking about now? You appear to be arguing a straw man out of nowhere.

    The study mentions in passing the microspheres were formed during the event to explain what they are.
    It's not specific about what "the event" is defined as, but cheerful has taken it to mean that the study says that the sphere couldn't have formed at any time previously or after 9/11.

    He believe this is a killer blow because another guy on another forum suggested that things before and after could be possible explanations for the spheres (among many other possible explanations).

    So since the study says "during" cheerful has misrepresented or misunderstood this to be "only during the fire and collapse and completely excludes possible explanations occuring before and after" and therefore, all the possible explanations given by this other guy are therefore false.

    Reality.
    During their toxicological study of the WTC dust, the RJ Lee Group found that up to 6% of the weight of the dust was composed of previously molten iron microspheres.

    Kingmob
    Has a different reality, they formed after the event. He pushes experiments here that don't account for the weight here.

    Is steel and flint a viable theory? For you guys it is.

    Reality.

    I've never once said this or indicated this.
    You are misrepresenting me. Again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,725 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    If I take 2 pieces of steel, or iron, and strike them against each other: I get sparks, ie. These molten spheres. Plenty of iron interacted with other iron when the building collapsed. Oh, and craptons of concrete, which will also do the trick.

    Not surprisingly these are also formed when iron workers are cutting the steel, with torches, with angle grinders, etc etc such as they were for days and weeks following at ground zero.

    Read the entire thread, you posting nonstop experiments Mick did.

    You used his evidence to dismiss the nanothermite theory. None of the experiments explains the amount of spheres found in the dust. And nobody in the mainstream claimed fires were hotter than 1000 degrees Celsius.

    Read the entire thread,
    I have. I never say:

    Quote where I do.

    Nope. I'm using the RJ Lee that shows there was no aluminium oxide, therefore no thermite or nanothermite.
    And nobody in the mainstreams claimed fires were hotter than 1000 degrees Celsius.
    But cheerful, you are misrepresenting things again.
    You quoted where you believe the NIST says this, but it isn't what they say.
    They said the air temperature peaked at 1000 degrees.

    When you light a candle in a room, does the room become the same temperature as the candle flame?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,725 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Thousands of tons of steel scraping off itself during collapse in already hot conditions. Sparks. Hence the spheres that are produced as a direct result of sparks.

    This a strawman the spheres were in the dust after the collapse.
    During the event outlined here.

    Outline it clearly here again in the paper.
    Common origin, it was not contaminated by workers later.
    The event was the collapse of the buildings on 9/11

    The Study doesn't say either of those things. That's a misrepresentation you are putting onto the study so it will fit your preferred conclusion.

    But one thing the study does say is that there was no aluminium oxide. Therefore it disproves your theory.

    If you believe this study is so accurate, why do you still believe your theory?

    There's tons of other questions I can ask, but you're going to ignore them.
    Like:
    According to you, why doesn't the study show the leftovers from the rescue and clean up operation?
    It's samples were taken long after the even and in that time, there was a ton of work on the site that would produce a very large amount of microspheres from angle grinding/welding etc.
    Where did these microspheres go?
    Why does the study not mention them?
    Do you believe that the work after 9/11 wouldn't produce iron microspheres?

    Do you think they poured the powder on the columns?
    How was it kept in the Harrit study.
    What would happen to the Al+ Iron oxide when ignited?

    It forms iron and aluminium oxide.
    That's how a thermite reaction works.
    Here is the chemical equation: a250a0821cc743b0d77f7df07529c458af5076a5.png

    The study shows there was no aluminium oxide.
    By your arguments and that equation, there should be half as much aluminium oxide as there was iron.
    But there isn't. So no thermite reaction took place.
    Simple.

    Actually as much. 2 irons 2 aluminums.

    I show you how i know kingmob RJ Lee blog post.

    The collapse of the World Trade Center Towers following the catastrophic events of 9/11 produced a dust cloud that covered much of lower Manhattan. Thousands of private and public buildings were contaminated by the dust. Building owners in the vicinity of the collapse, worried about environmental impact to their damaged buildings, retained RJ Lee Group to assess the situation. A major objective of the study was to establish a set of baseline conditions to determine which components of the WTC dust were sufficiently above typical background dust levels in New York City so a quantitative signature could be developed. This signature would then be used to differentiate the structural and environmental impact of the WTC event on these buildings and to determine the appropriate remediation method.

    We began by designing an overall comprehensive environmental program to manage the evolving studies. The plan included both a site-specific Health & Safety Plan (HASP) as well as site monitoring programs to protect both worker and community health. Next, we concentrated on assessing the damage impact of potential fall-out contaminants such as fuel oil, diesel fuel, particulates, asbestos, heavy metals, PCBs, PNAs and dioxins. The enormity of the task and the volume of samples anticipated required strict attention to recording details. To ensure these studies were executed properly, we developed customized software applications for the Personal Data Assistants (PDAs) we used to record our findings during sample collection, visual assessments, and other field activities. Using PDAs and customizable software, we increased the efficiency of field operations, minimized data entry errors, and streamlined the processing of more than 100,000 samples collected over a three-year period.

    This part the confirmation.
    Based upon these studies, we developed what is commonly known as the “WTC Dust Signature.” This signature demonstrated the unique characteristics of the finely pulverized dust and chemicals resulting from the WTC event and was used to indicate areas of impact in affected buildings.

    RJ Lee Group also served as the lead scientific management team, supervising subcontractors including architects, engineers, toxicologists, analytical laboratories, and other scientific experts. We also established routine ongoing communication with the U.S. EPA and New York City & State officials to ensure acceptance of procedures, protocols, and transmittal of our findings. The resulting reports became the basis for the EPA’s ongoing remediation programs for buildings impacted by the WTC event.

    To this day, RJ Lee Group’s studies represent the most comprehensive environmental impact studies ever performed in Class-A building structures and serve as a basis for catastrophic event response efforts where environmental damage is being evaluated. The resulting WTC Signature document was used as evidence in civil litigation and entered the public record via the judicial process.

    Yes. That doesn't address any of our points.

    But it does illustrate how thorough they were, and in all of that searching they found no Aluminium Oxide. Therefore that study proves the nanothermite theory completely false.

    Thanks for bringing this study to our attention.
