Hello all, another little tutorial me and my friend did. It is about making a black powder :). This is all the things you will need: Scale, Sulfur, Soft-wood charcoal, Sodium nitrate, coffee mixer, empty jar, few lead pieces... In this video we only ignited it, but in the next video, we will show you how to put it into a cannon, and shoot from it :), so stay tunned... The ratios are 71 % sodium nitrate, 17 % soft-wood charcoal and 12 % sulfur. Stay safe, and enjoy! -Emil More»
It is very important to use only charcoal that has low ash content. If not it will burn slow and not work for salutes and cannons.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1188672002 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCompacting/compressing black powder will make it go boom.
I strongly advice you to mix it in a silver bowl with a silver spoon.
Black powder is an ancient, but still a formidable explosive. Even though this mixture is a very slow burner you HAVE to think well over what you are doing.
Mixing it more potent and beeing unwary in the process, can and will hurt or even kill you.
I've seen too many mishaps with black powders and the likes. (I'm a pyrotechnician, with all my fingers intact)
Safty first, then you have fun!

By josive 1194754970 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehow do you make sodium nitrate?
By josive 1192678102 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThere are many ways. We made it by mixing equimolar amounts of Na2CO3.10H20 and NH4NO3 in concentrated solutions. Then boiling the solution for many hours untill the reaction is finished. Then evaporate the solution and filtrate the NaNO3 and dry it. Be careful as toxic ammonia is formed when boiling the solution.

By josive 1193285596 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThere isnt any Home depot or stump remover where we live.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1194304498 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveGo buy a copy of the book "Pyrotechnics" by George W. Weingart. This is one of the best books available on making fireworks (which are pretty much all based on black power). He goes into great detail on how to make black power safely (as possible, even the pros blow up thier factories on a regular basis)
Make no mistake about it, black power is REALLY, REALLY dangerous stuff!
how pure is garden sulfur

By Jugo Metalcaster 1191608830 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removecan the merthod of making it in the vid be used in firecrackers?
By josive 1191041511 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThis powder doesnt burn fast enough to be used in ordinary small firecrackers.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1191608881 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWhere do i get Sodium Nitrate and do not please dont say internet i dont have a credit card.
Anyway liked the vid, isnt it meant to like explode and make a big flash though?
It is important to use lead pieces when shaking the powder because lead is nonsparking. Using some other metal could produce sparks and ignite the black powder.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1188563731 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeso, now that I know how to make it, where do I get the ingredients?
By power of 10 1188512124 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSulfur in a agriculture store, soft-wood charcoal I think you know where and we made our own sodium nitrate.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1188516199 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhat kind of sulfur and where can i ggt it
By josive 1190418946 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWe used agriculture grade sulfur bought at the agriculture store. You know where they sell artificial fertilizers, pesticides and that stuff.

Black powder has a nasty habit of exploding due to static discharge,and using a coffee grinder will make lots of static.Gunpowder should be made WET and let dry without heat..your method is way too dangerous for me and I spent ages with no eyebrows learning NOT to do things like this.
By DV8TED 1188443137 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIt will explode if you grind the fuels and the oxidiser together. As you saw we didnt do that.
By Jugo Metalcaster 1188478636 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThere is another factor that makes it nescesary to mix wet.When you crush a crystal they spark.There is a nifty trick to prove this,You snap a "crystomint" life-saver or something similar, in a totally dark room(It has to be as black as a cave too see it)you will see a spark small admittedly ,but it can be enough.And the whole point about static is that you are charging one part then introducng a part with a different electric potential causing a current flow .BANG
By DV8TED 1188806088 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWorst gunpowder ever. I am sorry, but it need to burn in a flash, a snap not a big flame. You lose A LOT of energy when it burns slow. The projectile will leave the tube before its done burning. This is due to poor mixture ratios and poor mixing.
By kekoukekou 1190060901 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveNo the ratios are good and the mixing cant be better whit out a ball mill and we dont have a ball mill. This powder does work good in small cannons. If we use better charcoal the burn rate would increase. Willow charcoal is one of the best. Much better than the grill type found in hardware stores.
