How did you think they perform underwater welding? With a lightweight gas? Under that much pressure?
Besides didn't anyone ever tell you that once a block catches fire don't ---- with it? Magnesium and Aluminum fire are just about impossible to put out.

roflcopter.
I made some homemade thermite before I could drive. Made a "rust maker" with a battery, and powdered aluminum.
Lit it with a lighter and magnesium ribbon.
Aluminum can't burn
Later on bought some off the interwebs and paid $15 for it, Doug and I tried to light it but can't remember if we ever got it going.
