  • Nice lighter;)

  • @The3Dpyro Check out my smoke bomb video, you'll love the lighter I use for that :D

  • caan you post a video on how you made this?? :)

  • @1sk89 It's actually very easy, all you do for a basic stable flash powder is mix up a 50/50 ratio (by weight) Mg (magnesium) / KNO3 (Potassium nitrate) the higher mesh you have, the faster it will burn, resulting in a better explosion etc.

  • mmmm to small to actualy prove it

  • @tirlangaa Trust me, big or small, it does not matter, flash powder will always win, and you can tell the difference even in this small quantity demonstration.

  • "Black powder" isn't smokeless. modern nitrocellulose based "Gunpowder" is.

  • @TheVuurwerkChannel im not gona do that, i was just kidding on how granulating meal made it that much faster.

  • @ThePyromaniac500 Should be pretty dangerous.. I wouldn't do that.. And WHY would you do so? I don't see any uses for it .. :)

  • im gonna try granulated flash powder...

  • @sohy3010 potassium perchlorate and aluminum (Dark pyro grade) 70/30 is louder I have found potassium chlorate magnesium 50/50 seems louder still but I'm told it is much less stable.Look on pyroguide under compositions. have fun!!
