can i do it with my t shirt? just asking if it will work...

[goldenpizza]

@policarpioron20 Any 100% cotton or 100% hemp material will work, just not polyester/cotton blends. But if you have to ask then you don't know your chemistry well enough to keep from injuring yourself with concentrated sulfuric and nitric acid ( this "process" of making gun cotton.)

[raptured]

@goldenpizza I have been trying to search this, but haven't had any luck. I was wondering if you could help me out. Physically, what is the molecular change that occurs in 3HNO3+ C6H10O5 → C6H7(NO2)3O5 + 3H2O when burning flash paper?

[goldenpizza]

@raptured Why? Really?How is your life made more whole by knowing the molecular change 3HNO3+ C6H10O5 → C6H7(NO2)3O5 + 3H2O? A) This formula is Nitric acid with Cellulose. There is no "flash paper" in this equation. Flash paper is a different formula. B) Just follow the atoms. It really doesn't matter which N in 3HNO3 ends up in (NO2), or any other atom from before to after. C) I'm not doing your homework for you. D) Its on the net, refine your search criteria and be persistent.

Can u hold the cotton in ur hand while its burning..or do u hav to drop it cuz itll burn u??

[goldenpizza]

@shimsocol Yes, one could hold it but is more visible if you throw it as it lights. It does generate some heat and if there is high humidity, it may not burn as fast as it should and then yes it will burn you.

dude that was like 50 bucks worth of flash products lol

[mumalu8]

LOL cigarettes with flash paper haahaas

[rlp951]

Im gonna flash my reaserch paper in front of muah teacher :) muahahahahahhhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

[themansmansmansm]

Can you print on Flash Paper?

[AdlerMow]

What do make it burn faster or slower? You got one blasting fast, is it of better quality or just less dense? Nice video! By the way, do someone have seen a DIY Pelletizer, because Im having a hard time searching for this? Not just for that, but i want to make my on smokeless powder, and charcoal pellet for my burner, too. Im not for USA were people get it with relative easy, so please don't say simply buy it. And the BATF won't knock my door down. Thanks, everyone!

That glass tube got very dirty.

I hate it how flash products are so expensive

[raptured]

@goldenpizza Ah, I apologize if I made it seem like you were doing my homework.

I'm not a science student, but very interested in this. It is for a project, but I'm trying to understand the molecular chemistry to understand the reaction.

You have helped quite a bit though, appreciate it. Now that I know that there is no flash paper in this equation, I'm going to refine that search. Hopefully, I can take it somewhere further from there.

Thanks again!
