How to make powerful firecracker flash powders and fine magnesium aluminium powder.
You cand find the video here:
This video i made special catalysed flash powders for firecrackers (Petard) and fine powdered magnesium and aluminium powder with household materials.I will test the flash powders sensytivity,stability,and power.I will coat the magnesium with linseed oil for protect it from the another mixed chemicals.I will show you how mutch extra power gives the flash powder if you use extra catalyst like sulphur. This flash powder made from home made aluminium and magnesium.The magnesium powder made water heater anode (this is 75% Mg 25% Al) and the aluminium powder made aluminium foil and grinded a poppy seed grinder.The water heater anode burnish with sand paper.The fine podwered metal podwers made a granite (or satinless steel better) plate and bar (Stamp Process).The metal particles are only ground when they are a single layer between the two surfaces, and only a very tiny portion of two round surfaces are close enough to eachother. If either component but especially the metal powders are not enough fine ,the flash powders will burning slowly.This flash powders works the best with 400 mesh and much more finer magnesium powder and 3-4 micron dark aluminium powder.If you want the best result always buy and use the possible most finest particle size metal powders. Catalysed flash powders ratio for firecrackers:
Normal Kno3 Petard flash:Postassium Nitrate/Magnesium/sulphur Kno3 Mg s 50/40/10%
Extreme strong:Postassium perchhlorate/Magnesium/sulphur Kclo4 Mg S 50/40/10%
Extreme strong with big and bright effect (the winner):Postassium perchhlorate/Aluminium/sulphur Kclo4 Al S 50/40/10%
Normal strong very bright:Barium Nitrate/Magnesium/sulphur Bano3(2) Mg s 50/40/10%
Normal strong (stronger than kno3) big effect:Postassium permanganate/Aluminium/sulphur KMNO4 Al s 60/30/10% (6/3/1)
Catalysed flash powders are mutch stronger than normal flash powders.The magnesium based flash powders are coated with linseed oil to protect the magnesium powder. The winner flash powder was Kclo4/Al/S 50/40/10%.Its works best with professional 3-4 micron dark aluminium powder.It was extreme powerful,extreme loud,very bright and absolute stable.Its much better than the magnesium version.The magnesium version Kclo4/Mg/S 50%40/10% has a very pale and small effect in larger firecrackers.Unlike the aluminium which completely different is true.If you want extreme loud,extreme powerful,extrem bright firecrackers with stable mixture Kclo4/Al/S 50/40/10% are the best.This vas the most powerful Kclo4 Al S ratio and much more stronger than standart Kclo4/Al 70/30 and better than Kclo4/Mg 50/50. The process was easy:
-The magnesium powder was milled the possible finest powder
-The magnesium powder was coated with 4% pure boiled linseed oil what dissolved in white spirit than completely dried serval days to get a hard strengh coat.(See Takeo Shimizu fireworks the art science and technique) in Magnesium.
-The potassium perchlorate first heated to make it wapor free.Than grinded down in a poppy seed grinder to the possibble finest powder 3-4 hour grinding.And heated serval times in a hot plate so the dust does not knot.
-The 5 4 1 ratio are a balance-sheet weigh out. -The potassium perchlorate heated again.And grinded more finer in a mortar.
-Now i used protective gear closed safety glases,and safety gloves!
-The sulfur are grinded and al components are mixed
-All component carefully blended to a homogeneous powder in the mortar.Not grinded!Just softly and carefuly mixed together the ingredients.In two small max 5g dose!
-The flash powder must be always sive in a sieve before use in firecrackers to loosen the dust! Kclo4 Aluminium sulfure with 4 micron aluminium are much more stable,brighter,mutch more effective and have the same sound so i recommend to use aluminium with sulfur.
How to make Home Made black powder fuse for fireworks

How to make Home Made black powder fuse for fireworks at home (black match fuse).Supplies: 0,3mm embroidery thread and black powder+clean water +3 hour total work.The concentrated black powder paste nothing else only pure black powder+clean water. This paste is heated to dissolve the dense concentrated solution get and put in to the embroidery thread.The 0,3mm embroidery thread soak up about 3 hour all of black powder (80cm embroidery thread 20g Black powder should count).Result is 1.8 cm cheap simple excellent black powder fuse.Next step Make a Blackpowder+5% glue paste (dextrin,gum-arabic or nitrocellulose from pinpongballs) and add the dissolvent nitrocellulose:Denatured Alcohol+Aceton 1:1 Ml Dextrin or Gum-arabic:Denatured Alcohol+water 7:3 Ml.And overcoat the black powder fuse fuse this paste.This fuse guaranteed does not stop the burning, even if packaged in there is something because a lot of blackpowder the cotton embroidery Thread knit on the inside.This Black powder fuse burning much stable stronger than other home made fuses like traditionary Black match fuse.The black powder fuse made from standart 75/15/10 Hardwood grill charcoal black powder.Easy to make with little materials guaranteed massive Burning.This is good cheap alternative for visco fuse.All the same 5m or 50m all 3 houor total work cheaply in large quantities can be.Only drawback direct to ignite unsafe but this is true for another Black match fuses.Black Match fuses can stop burnings but this fuse guaranteed never stop burning,look the test foil on video.I use it for several years old time-tested good old recipe.This is not Blackmatch Fuse this is a homemade black powder fuse.The recipe is different from making and the burning property and another properties different.
Warning:Never direct ignite it use plus safety fuse like rubber bands (jar rubber),.This is not safety fuse this is a intensive but moderated burning fuse.

How to make strong firecrackers (petard) at home this is original home made firecracker and its very loud and powerful The Flash powder is complete fill the paper tube, and its looks like a strong array but its not a strong array but this time for good because the flash powder is well fills densely the paper tube.But when you unpack the firecracker the Flash powder are friable and not a array.If The Flash Powder is not enough dense insaide the firecracker, or good quality flash powder firecracker will be much weaker.But if you press your flash powder in a array your firecracker will not work. Before you load the Flash powder the firecracker do a test paper tube and follow the video. Flash powders for petard firecracker: Kmno4/al/s 60/30/10%, Kclo4/al/s 50/40/10%, Kno3/mg/s 50/40/10%, Kclo4/mg/s 50/40/10%, The loudest of the Kclo4/Mg/s The firecracker paper glued by water glas sodium silicate upper and lower 2cm gypsum closing the firecracker Firecacker petard 1 (smaller)Made it by 2 piece 7cm large 14,5cm long write paper wrapped in 0,5cm staw full paper lenght 29cm Firecacker petard 2 (larger)Made it by 2 piece 7cm large 21cm long write paper wrapped in 0,7cm pencil full paper lenght 42 cm In this video i tried softly compress the flash powder.This was a mistake in my method.Its works but my later tests I realized the flash powder must be veary losely loaded.The paper thickness are veary ideal.

This was a Kclo3,Kclo4 alternative in flash powders.You can get the extreme power of Kclo3 Kclo4 using K2S2O8 or Na2S2O8 Mg 50:50.This was more powerful than kmno4 based flash powders.

How To Make Dark Aluminum powder In Bulk (My Homemade Process)
As a forewarning you should not use marbles in a metal mill as the marbles edges can actually cut into the steal and basically cause the steel that was sheared off to spark. Once again this is not the marbles sparking but the metal itself the marbles are sheered off... This is very similar to how a flint and steel works. Thanks for watching guys, you all are awesome!! Also I sugest not grinding up aluminum in your food blender as it'll scratch up the cup and dull the blades. I find my junk blenders at rummage sales all the time for around 5 dollars.A poppy seed grinder are much better!People keep asking me where I got my mill, truth be told It's actually a rock tumbler but can be used the same. You can find a single barrel version to buy here if your serious about making your own powder in ebay or Amazon.
How to Make Super Fine Powdered Magnesium or Aluminium Powder
You cand find the video here:
This is my method of making super fine metal powders for flash powder and other pyrotechnics. It's a very quick method and all you need is a file, a steel plate, and a flat steel bar. Flash powder made with this fine magnesium powder is extremely powerful. This method is very effective if you want small quantities but less effective when you need larger amounts.
