ORIGINAL: Real0ne 3). My metallurgy data sheet claims aluminum does not support combustion. Burning, from the standpoint of a welder, is heating something hot enough for it to hook up with oxygen atoms. Technically, you can burn anything if you get it hot enough. Thank you for admitting you dont understand how a mass hitting another mass at a significant difference in relative velocities generates a certain amount of energy. Sinergy Well i dont think i admitted that but two masses colliding in the terms we are talking about here dissipate energy, they do not generate engergy. Is there a point you are trying to make? Because i am not sure how your statement applies to this problem? Unless you are trying to say that the object was flying fast enough to generate enough heat that metal oxidation occurred and it vaporized. i would buy that at about mach 15 plus maybe into the side of a rock mountain. Ok. The formula, best I can remember after 20+ years ago, is force equals mass times the square of accelleration. I only remember the delta of acceleration from top to 0, rather than the delta as x goes to 0. Force equals mass of the jet plane multiplied by 600mph - 0 mph (velocity of the pentagon) squared Plane goes boom. 600 mph squared. This creates energy. Energy is dissipated in heat, seismic tremors, sound. I am not sure what the formula is. Throw in a bunch of jet fuel. The metal which has to melt would be aluminum. I have one for you. The current anti-tank RPG used against us in Iraq relies on an propellant and an ignitor to melt copper. The molten copper, at the velocity of the copper, is able to pierce hardened steel armor. Copper melts at a significantly lower temperature than hardened steel. Yet these can pierce the armor of and take out Bradleys, etc. So to throw the question back at you, Realone, how can a metal that burns at a lower temperature ignite a metal that burns at a higher temperature? The point I am trying to make, RealOne, is that you need to do more of your own research on how things work before you repeat (in a Pavlovian sense) the things you read on an internet web site. As has been pointed out, it has been theorized that if you gave a billion monkeys a billion typerwriters, one of them would write Hamlet. The internet proves this is untrue. Sinergy
