you can get zinc powder from lanter batteris open the top get the four batteries out open them get rid of tha stuff inside and the shell is 100% zinc. but it will only be zinc if the lanter battery does not ssay it is an alkaline battery. hope this helps use out
Be careful of the fumes - zinc oxide is yellow when hot and white when cooler. those fumes are also toxic - welders get it from welding zinc coated parts. It's potentially very nasty.
4 grams zinc 1 gram perchlorate, 6 grams zinc to 1 gram sulfur or 2 grams zinc 1 gram sulfur. the later depends on preference. less solid products if you use the later formula.
Alan yates' composition is what I was thinking of. Granulated it is used in greenish flash reports. I haven't made it yet but I REALLY want to... I will, someday...

Which is best for rocket fuel?
capitalist4life 3 years ago
The ZnS i would say. While ClO4 has alot of energy, the products of the reaction are not as energetically favorable.

i've never used zinc b4. i geuss ill try it out. i like magnesium better though, because its bright.

hi where can i get Potassium perchlorate in the UK PLEASE HELP thanks

Potassium perchlorate(KClO4) + Magnesium(Mg) burns quick as hell.

Then mabye not the best fuel for a rocket. Still, good for a smoke bomb.

Omg of course not.... it's a flash powder composition!

great video! those components could be a little expensive in large quantites but I see some massive smoke bombs in the near future!

Those are some pretty cool redox reactions. My favorite is a thermite, a reaction between aluminum and ferric oxide.

Do you think any of them would work good as star comps. ?

Possibly, the zinc sulfur and KClO4/zinc reactions have a nice yellow color to them. Worth a try i think.
Foxtrotx1 4 years ago
Whats the ratios for that comp.?

4 grams zinc 1 gram perchlorate, 6 grams zinc to 1 gram sulfur or 2 grams zinc 1 gram sulfur. the later depends on preference. less solid products if you use the later formula.

Zinc/Sulphur flash yet?

zinc sulphur burns pretty fast, but i dont know about as a flash. It WILL violently exlpode if well contained.
