[MohrGretchen]

where do you buy the flash powder????/

[propyropower]

it's pretty nice

[murdoch2486]

haha!

'im going to do this!'

good man

very sensitive stuff, bet you could have lots of fun with that!

[BrightLightPyro]

I mostly use the same flash comp, if you have good dark Mg/Al its a very powerfull flash!!

5*

[xxpinksxx]

So what did you use to make your flash powder? I've done this test with two different concoctions of flash powder and they both didn't ignite. One was 70% sodium chlorate/30 aluminum powder and the other was 70% potassium perchlorate/30% aluminum powder.

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

I used potassium perchlorate 50% and magnalium 50%

[xxpinksxx]

Oh, okay.

I never heard of magnalium being used in flash powder but hey I learned something new today.

[antiswattt]

try armstrongs mixture then. but its hell of sensitive q: you mix kclo3 with red phosphorous or match head powder with striker on match box.. just scrape the striker with a knife

[tittytwister5251]

my flash powder is the same as that, does yours explode with just 1 gram? mine does :D and it doesnt do anything with a hammer lol

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

ya i have an unconfined 1 gram test and it makes a nice echo.

[scozzahisee]

Nice. What flash powder mixture did you use?

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

KCLO4 + MgAl  50:50 ratio

[antiswattt]

is kclo3 potassium chlorate and kclo4 potassium perchlorate?

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

yup

[antiswattt]

ok.. (:

[TheJankyJungle]

how do u make potassium perchlorate

[antiswattt]

ok, take some matches, somehow take the powder off the heads, dissolve the powder in water, when theres a layer on the bottom filter it, the thing you need is the water, not the thing that was on the buttom, now take the water from the matches, and heat until half of it is gone, and let it stand, there should be made crystals at the bottom, filter them OR stick the match water in freezer 50 minuttes (remember too look every 10 minutes to prevent it from freezing) filter the crystals.. (:

[TheJankyJungle]

is there any detailed guides on this

[theitalian556]

electrolysis

[Finklestein13b]

IS there an option before you post videos to make it HD or do you make it HD when you edit ur video

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

no there isn't an option you have to have a camera that already has HD

[Finklestein13b]

Ya I have like a 5,000 dollar camera its like the crap they use on Planet Earth. I was wondering like when you upload it from an HD camera does it automatically upload with that little "watch in HD" or do you have to tell it to some how??

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

it should automatically pop up because when I upload my videos it is automatically there....my camera also says HD on it. What kind of camera do You have?

[davidtroub]

You can make any Youtube video of yours to have the watch in HD button, even if it's not HD. Just export it from something like movie maker in a hd resoluion. If you're using movie maker, use the xbox setting.

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

thanks i didnt know that;)

[davidtroub]

No problem.

[JackMcGuitar]

shit man you really know your stuff. All this is a different language to me.

[midnightchime]

no your just not the sharpest knife in the kitchen lol

[nirvanafan833]

nice video quality, nice flash.

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

thanks

[fredde20000]

Nice what mixture was that:P?

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

kclo4 MgAl 1:1 ratio

[nixrate]

this chlorate based flash. if it's kclo4 i am kinda surprised[unless sulfur was added] it seems sensative enough that it wouldn't be sold comercially.

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

ya it is kclo4 and it is sensitive, but no sulfer was added. I got it from highqualitychems(DOT)com

[adambus77]

man, good job! 5*

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

thanks :)

[Parker221]

[PyroFlyinHawaiian]

thanks, ya sorry about that i was thinking about making another vid so it would be easier to hear.
