Black Powder & Charcoal Fireball W/SmokeRing

[TheturtlethatisTerry]

Could you use this in your airsoft land mine instead of baking soda?

[demnlordd666]

you said just a bit of BP in the bottom of the can? so are you talking about a special lunch tube, disposable cardboard tube, or like a soup can? sorry for my ignorance, just didn't know if that was some kind of pyro lingo or like a generic term for an old tin can. also was your charcoal crushed to a powder, mixed powder chunks, or what ever you wanna do? never tried this kind before, thanks

[Nighthawkinlight]

@demnlordd666 Yes, about a quarter inch or so black powder in the bottom of a coffee can with a layer of tissue paper on top. Above that is finely powdered charcoal.

[demnlordd666]

that is awesome. looks like you could do small scale reenactments of large explosions for home movies/ fun projects. I like it, would also add a nice back drop for a small finale on home fireworks shows. mix just a tiny bit of coarse magnesium and iron filings for fun to look like a steel casing blew up, but no bang to annoy the neighbors. ha ha you could scare the shit out of a friend. put one just outside their window, look like all hell broke loose, but just effect. safety first though.

[sonnytenedo]

Cool smoke ring :D

[marcLoL1000]

a nuke :)

[FireHotStudios]

mini nuke!

[PyR0Star]

Have you created a wax and water cremora NHIL? 

[spooky00pooky]

Absolutely beautiful work!! =D Thumbs up!

[ShadyMan01]

Watch out below in case god goes to use that toilet seat.

[MrDestructionAddict]

[SuperCbing]

[IamTeHe]

An O for good bye O-zone

[fuketag]

WWWWWWWOWWWWWWWW i want make this!!!!!!

[hotrodmcspoonjr]

how many grams of gun powder/charcoal?

[Nighthawkinlight]

@hotrodmcspoonjr I don't measure for fireballs. Just coat the bottom of the can with BP until you just about can't see the bottom through it, lay a piece of tissue above, then fill with as much charcoal or powdered coffee creamer as you have.

[DRAGOON009ify]

satan is laughing haha

[diontje4life]

awsome shit

[9DragonMaster]

Do they have aireal shells that are cremoras? Would they even work in the air?

[clanrat]

How fine did you mill the charcoal? All the way down to airfloat?

[Schattenbinder]

lol xD

[1992pattrow]

I love blowing smoke rings but none of mine compare to that.

[panhead247]

is it just plain charcoal or do you have to add a lift like gunpowder to it? is it loud at all?

[Nighthawkinlight]

@panhead247 It requires black powder to lift the charcoal. In response to your comment on my other video, these are silent.

[Tyl3rDurdN]

Red-Skin Style !

[adriman1992]

it's a mini nuke :p

[9DragonMaster]

bitchin!!!

[fjobin1]

[WrathOfDemons]

[nhojlyrad]

bomb?

[10babiscar]

awesome

[jorgos9]

wtf.

[xpez]

playing out in the woods...in the south.

[farshad94abedi]

that was awsom

[japanesepoptart]

I find it both amazing and depressing that craftsmen may spend many days on making these fireworks and yet their beautiful works of art last only a few short seconds...ohh fireworks... we take them for granted every 4th of july, and yet their construction is so complex.

[cadstar1]

nice ring

[Booger6995]

Sky toilet seat maker. That's hilarious.

[dersitis33]

what about the charcoal par? how did u make all those sparks

[Nighthawkinlight]

@dersitis33 ? With the charcoal added.

[dersitis33]

@Nighthawkinlight dang so how much charcoal did you use and was it bb-q chunks or real good charcoal

[Nighthawkinlight]

@dersitis33 About a pound of charcoal. It was just charcoal gathered from a fire pit. Quality charcoal is not needed for a creamora.

[dersitis33]

@Nighthawkinlight cool man thanx i gotta try this

[RubixB0y]

@Nighthawkinlight you said that you just used charcoal gathered from a fire pit so can i use that to make bp or would that result in poor quality?

[Nighthawkinlight]

@RubixB0y It would make very poor BP. I have a video entitled 'how to make fireworks grade charcoal' that shows how to make quality BP charcoal.

[bigwang45feet]

@Nighthawkinlight saw dust is good for fire balls to at least in my appinion

[Medra13]

Thats brilliant, its like a mini nuke ! has to be done in still air at twilight and then the only question is how big can you make them !

[Nighthawkinlight]

Very big

[kofixop]

i guess wit a way of colouring the smoke it would look even more impressive !

[Niakahdabamb]

That was sick

[bloodtrack12]

you should like do airsoft wars and when you shoot 25 people out you can use that and its an airsoft nuke :P

[moshcorerider94]

excellent

[pyrocrazyUSA]

i really like the the falling sparks at 0:8

[hollowslayer95]

LOL sky toilet maker!!!! XD

[azaaaza0]

[medo007black]

[13374life]

Did you put on your lift Bp only charcoal? or an mix of bp?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Only charcoal over the lift.

[13374life]

[freestyle197222]

Nice smoke ring!

[hollandrulezzz]

wow awesome smoke ring

[crazyskier537]

What do you think is best? Corn starch, coffee creamer, or flour. Flour is cheapest I know off hand, but performance-wise.

[Nighthawkinlight]

Coffee creamer, with the highest fat content possible. Flour does not work well. If you live in a rural area with farming supply stores, powdered milk for feeding calf's works very well, and is sold in 55 lb bags.

[xlechasseurx]

rofl amazing ring itts crazy ur so good dude i saw all ur vid ur amazing <3 u ur my idole!!!

[1ukjunglednbraver]

what about human dryed milk full fat

Also my website: grassrootsdiy(dot)com

;)

[cablejerome]

awesome-job well done! what is the ratio of cremora to charcoal?

[Nighthawkinlight]

There is no creamora, I just used that title because it is generally the name given to this sort of device. It is nothing but charcoal over BP.

[rocketman6881]

A Perfect Smoke Ring !!!

[Eggdude16]

interesting, charcoal bomb, looks like a scaled down verison on the tzhar bomb. nicely done

[1991nx2k]

cool smoke ring

[fireoncrack]

what he used for that was creamer, you can buy it from my company, J&M Displays, 10 bucks for a 50 pound bag. When i said creamer, yes its old coffee creamer.

[Nighthawkinlight]

I actually used charcoal powder.

[fireoncrack]

oh alright, try creamer next time! Works just as good, tons cheaper

[kallevigabc12]

could you give me the exact adress of were you sell them on your website

[Mooky952]

its a heart

[MrCzarls]

niiice :D

[Brianzuela]

I thought a toilet seat would literally go into the air. That would've been weird...

[naruto7goku7]

what did you use to get that type of explosion?

[lafumedo]

mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms mushrooms :S

[AerotechMan101]

that's awesome!

[haines7howto]

[yustforfunonly]

this rocks!!! 5 stars!! :-)!! Thanks for the share theredchair

[lolyali]

that is sooo cool

[jamics]

that was cool!

[harddiskfragger]

lool

[ther0flcopter]

wow there mustve of been no wind when u let this off lol

[rocket278]

hey this might sound odd, but what would happen if you substituted the charcoal for a coloured composition such as veline blue or a red. would it make that coloured fireball?

[Nighthawkinlight]

It would make a very fast and bright fireball of color. Perhaps with less or no oxidizer and more charcoal it would be a longer lasting effect. It would be cool to see.

[rocket278]

ah ok, thanks for the info would look really cool to see :D

[siliciumsilicium]

is this black powder composison??? sulphirles powder???

[Nighthawkinlight]

Black powder under a pound or so of charcoal.

[dumle29]

how much balck powder? and is it powdered charcoal sorry if its a stupid question

[rayruiz12345]

wow awesome man

[gigi92517]

best smoke ring ever!!!

[vvooh]

coooooooooooooooooooooooooool!­!!!!

[lonestar1775]

that was better than perfect

[halopro9995]

wow people might think that thats a ufo

[skaterpunktop3]

that was awosome!

1. What composition did you use? as in was it just charcoal or other stuff.

2. How do you make your charcoal?

3. How did you make the burining ashes hang around like that in the air, or does it naturall do that?

[Nighthawkinlight]

Just charcoal. It does not take high quality charcoal for this sort of device so I just scraped it off the logs from my fire pit. The sparks hang naturally.

[maseyf]

Nice! :D

[Flym0nkey]

nice =D

i like your works nighthawk =D.

keep up the good work (=

[nixgut95]

NICE !!!

[quangphangbang]

[Nighthawkinlight]

Check the video this is a response too...

[Carl0C0cxxxNutten4ev]

(my english is bad i know :D)

[Nighthawkinlight]

No it is not loud.

[Rhandahl]

sweet 5/5 that was pretty cool;D

[enonano]

[hullumies15]

what composition did you used for the powder? would be good if you would write the compositions in description

[Nighthawkinlight]

Charcoal.

[dragfear]

dude sick sh*t

[Kokisman123]

That smoke was sweet!

[solidacid1337]

nice creamora :D

i made a couple of these with other things like fine sawdust, dried breadcrumbs(that was fun), a mixture of 50/50 sugar/ash.

you should try making some bigger ones :D

[a0078]

wow like nuclear bomb )))

[hasmini]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

how did you make that??

[Nighthawkinlight]

Check out the video this is a response to and you'll find out.

[skaterboyyo]

Can you post a vid on how to make an m80 or cherry bomb

[Nighthawkinlight]

No chance sorry. I am very against the making of salutes.

[sdfryc]

wow

[Nicromew]

how much lift charge did you use? that would be a great special effect for some of my friends movies if we use one i'll credit it to you

[Nighthawkinlight]

I do not weigh my lift for creamoras. I simply use as much as it takes to coat the bottom of the tube with 1/4" or so of powder.

[khman1995]

how the hell did u make that!!!

[Nighthawkinlight]

Easy, watch the video this is attached to. Just a larger one of those.

[lukeylocket24]

the back cloud actually does look like a nuke

[redbullstef]

nice work that's huge
