Make Your Own Titanium (Just like Gramps used to do in the bathtub)

So apparently some DIYers (Do It Yourselfers) decided they’d take a crack at making their own hi tech space age alloys. In front of their garage. In a flower pot.
Please watch this video. Despite being incredibly asinine and kind of nerdy, it is pretty interesting.

For more information on making your own titanium or (MYtanium) check out the folowing link with references to formulas like:

NaNO3 + 2 Al —-> Na + 1/2 N2 + Al2O3
