that doesnt work ( i know from experience) because the grain of aluminium in the sparklers is much to large. the aluminum is just for sparks. try usinga cheap coffee grinder to grind alumium from alfoil. this isnt perfect but much cheaper than buying off of ebay. then if you want finer grain powder just use a morter and pestle :) works quite well
Sorry mate but that slowed the burn rate down quite a bit. Shove that into a rocket and I doubt it will even leave the ground. Adding a small amount of iron oxide to candy fuel will increase the burn rate. Easy to get iron oxide, sold in hardware shops as cement colouring
is kno3 sold in garden shops as white powder and when i go to one store how will i ask for it because if i say gimme some salt peter or kno3 they will think im there for a bomb -.-
yeah the problem with sparklers is that they also have a large amount of iron iron in them too, and all the metal in sparklers is a mix of flake and powder, so you will not get much of an improvement out of using that as part of you rfuel. nice vid though :)

if you get a magnet after you grind up the sparklers you can take the iron filings out and leave Al and other chemicals that improve it

the chemicals left over will be barium nitrate, coarse Al and carbon, as well as a binder that will slow it down. not worth the effort

did burn that fast - try adding a lil magnalium just 1% or other materials that have a compared effect
