Making a Sword with THERMITE!

The video tutorial by Hacksmith involves creating a sword using thermite, a chemical mixture that produces molten iron. The process begins with a comparison of red and black iron oxides, highlighting their differences in density and iron content. The tutorial then details the thermite reaction, its efficiency, and the challenges faced during the sword casting process. Adjustments are made to improve the reaction, including adding stainless steel beads. The final sword is tested on various objects, demonstrating its sharpness and strength, despite some imperfections.
