@bigbob572 No, it shouldn't. Sodium Chlorate is NaClO3.

@Nguli34689 Sulfur, not sulfuric acid?

how the hell?

@Nguli34689 Ever since my foolish adventure, and having 3rd degree burns on both hands, I learned a healthy respect for chemicals and pyrotechnics. I also learned that it only takes two molecules to initiate a spontaneous combustion. A combination of Calcium hypochlorite and a small amount of sulfur will spontaneously ignite! I am not a professional pyrotechnitian and I practice fireworks safety. I also studied chemistry in college which is a prerequisite for pyrotechnics.

I like your videos!

@chemicalwarfare224 Well, when I was 15 years old and I wanted to build a cherry bomb, I used HTH Swimming Pool Chlorine (which was 98% Calcium hypochlorite pressed into tablets). This hypochlorite I would grind down into a fine powder. A small pinch of sulfur was added and much to my surprise, both of my hands were enveloped in an orange ball of flame. I ran around the table for a half a minute and then the pain hit. My skin looked like fried chicken with fingernails rolled back like scrolls.

@Nguli34689 1. it would burst into flames 2. im not sure, it might dehydrate the sugar 3&4.it sounds dangerous, but theres only one way to find out :)
