To quote a YouTube comment I can’t stop thinking about, “The thermite mixture is a combination of finely powdered aluminum and iron(III) oxide (also called ferric oxide) in a mass ratio of 1:3 respectively, a 5-7.5cm length of fireworks sparkler.”
Why this was a comment on a War Thunder video will have me guessing forever.
Kerosene is weird man. I was on acid once and we kept trying to light it on fire with a direct butane flame and it wouldn’t light. Lit a leaf on fire and dropped it and that worked just fine… lol. Never looked into that but was “amazed” while on acid 😆

✋ I’ll bring the Styrofoam and gasoline.
I heard the secret sauce is kerosene but no idea why, so I just looked it up!
Didn’t find anything conclusive about the specific comparison between the two, aside from Kerosene being less volatile than gasoline
Maybe it’s because it’s safer to make/transport, or gels differently, or maybe they’re wrong and gas is just better.

Don’t forget the petroleum jelly if you can’t get styrofoam.
If you form explosives into the cone-shaped bottom of a wine bottle, it will make a shaped charge that can wreck an engine block.
Beware the man that buys etch-a-sketch’s in bulk…
I know someone that lit thermite on someone’s car because they tried to hit them while they were riding a bike as a teenager.
Alright after looking at stuff… Bulk purchases are not necessary. Good lord that’s easily accessible everyday materials.
Do you think this is what Adam Savage was talking about?

You can also just pour sand into the gas tank.
