How to make super fine powdered magnesium and aluminium powder (1 micron)

This is my method of making very fine powdered magnesium or aluminium powder. This method is very effective with small quantities but less effective with larger amounts.
You can clearly see the results in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0-itXJVvZI

If you have questions, just ask!

Note: Fine powdered magnesium is extremely flammable and will form explosive mixtures with nitrates, chlorates, perchlorates, permanganates, sulfates, oxides, and carbonates. I am not responsible for anything you will do with this magnesium powder!

Thanks for watching!

Very nice method. The sound? not so nice. I'll have to remember to put this video on loop to drive my room mates insane. XD

need a stone wheel crusher. same thing but with a motor.

But you still don't get as fine powder as I make with this method. I can make 0,2 g aluminium powder finer than German dark aluminium in a few minutes. That is something you can't do with a ball mill!

larger balls or a some wheel grinder. not 30 minutes of manual. crazy.
