Another Mine - Some Interesting Self Propelling Stars

[13564871]

whats the ratio for thoes stars

[Nguli34689]

That's the way I remember my Ammonium perchlorate blue star mixture whose recipe I have found in Pyrotechnica # I. They were self-propelled and made a good blue color.

[superawesomesuperkid]

You should make a nice shell out of these... the stars would spread themselves.

[Nighthawkinlight]

They have been in both of my 5" sun and planets shells. They are purple when viewed in the dark.

look funny

[elliotmotoX]

haha they look funny :P

[m0nstahhh]

how did you make those stars?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Check my video, how to cut stars.

[Nighthawkinlight]

You're asking for trouble saying something like that. I will absolutely not give you that information.

[antiswattt]

make a stick of the stuff q: or maybe alot of very small rocket engines :D

[masterboymanuel]

name it palmtree xDD

[poobertop]

woooooooow.. 5/5

[FOATE]

hehe i'll definately try that one out :)

[FOATE]

that sounds like a cool compo, i'll try that one out. how much parts al?

[Ruben19902]

Very "go getting"! Nice job.

[Nighthawkinlight]

I do have some purple flying fish but it really isn't nearly as purple as these stars. I haven't been able to get them to ignite in shells often though and haven't had much luck with experimental primes either. If anyone knows of a good ammonium perchlorate based prime I'd love to have it...

[MDHmodder]

Yeah, they're interesting stars.

But why just not use thick flying fish fuse (1/4)?

good for airsoft

[cipelino]

where I can get a dextrin copper2chloride and amonium perchlorate??

[Nighthawkinlight]

Also, the stars were made by dripping wet comp on wax paper, they ended up like small Hershey's kisses.

[Nighthawkinlight]

Well it's a new comp I'm working on. The formula is messy because i developed it in the mill and adjusted it every hour or so until i liked it. What i came up with is:

Ammonium perchlorate - 70

Charcoal - 15

Sulfur - 8.5

Copper(II) chloride - 7

Dextrin - 4

The stars were originally meant to be blue, but instead turned out a fairly deep purple with small orange sparks extending 3 inches or so.

[pudidotdk]

Nice go-getters. What comp did you use?

[Nighthawkinlight]

I'm firing a shell with those stars tonight, should be interesting if my camera picks them up. I wonder if there is a way for you to synthesize some ammonium perchlorate from maybe ammonium nitrate or another oxidizer you have? I've never tried to find a method.

[Snezzen]

Those self propellant stars are cute. I think there are lots of uses for that comp. Omg, I wish I could get some ammonium perchlorate, only a little jar ful,

that would be heaven...
