Fact hindenburg had a thermite shell. The was no explosion there was a flash fire which is consistent with THERMITE not Hydrogen filler.
We do...in the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters.
Aluminum Power(fuel) and Iron Oxide (Catalyst) are the main components in Thermite. The SRBs add Ammonium Perchlorate as an Oxidizer and a binding agent.
it takes a hell off a lot to ignite thermite and only static elec to ignite hydrogen at very high temp and it was the other combustible products within the Hindenburg that produced they yellow and orange flame as a result of incomplete combustion
Thermite will melt through metal - so probably not. Hadn't heard of the thermite doping on the Hindenburg before. I thought it wasn't true - but it seems that it is. Neat.
