Unsuccessful thermite
I tried making thermite by using aluminium foil that i milled into powder and iron oxide i made with electrolysis. Unfortunately I wasn't successful, I followed the guide made by nurd rage on how to make iron oxide via electrolysis and im pretty sure I followed it without missing anything he mentioned. I even repeated the method 2 times but still without any success.
I also used the ratio of 3:1 iron oxide to aluminium
The problem i faced is that the thermite wouldn't egnite. I used a sparkler because I heard that they are sufficient enough to egnite it, but It didn't for me.
The other option would be to use magnesium ribbon to enite it, but I dont have access to that.
Im curious to see if anyone had this problem and if so how did they solve it.
