ferric ammonium sulfate and magnalium (flash powder)

Flash powder made of ferric ammonium sulfate (fas) and magnalium powder mixed in ratio: 3:2 by weight. The fas is from a chemistry set and it had to be dryed by heating with a small flame until water stopped coming out. The magnalium is homemade.

I like it when you rate and comment.

[mcwario13]

is there a urea based explosive?

[JaycubL]

@mcwario13 Yes there is urea nitrate and nitrourea and probably a bunch of mixtures that involve those 2 compounds.

awesome

[JaycubL]

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you are asking me.

[JaycubL]

Ferric means that there's iron in the molecule. The chemical formula for FAS is FeNH4(SO4)2.

then just try with matchpowder, or purify the KClO3 from matches (: take 500 matches, dissolve in how water, boil off the water and let it dry, powder it and dissolve in COLD water, let the stuff go to the bottom, filter through a coffee filter, take the clean water from coffee filter and boil around 90-95% away, let it stand at room temperature to form crystals, collect (; also you know about TACN? TetraAmmine Copper Nitrate? :D

I've tryied ferrocerium flash powders before and they are good but I don't have any kclo3.

[antiswattt2]

nice.. you should try ferrocerium with a little amount of magnesium added in and then KClO3, SMALL amounts.. go watch beafcake101's video on his strongest flashpowder XD he uses 30% flint in it as you see.. thats lighter flint, sandpapered with some quite fine sandpaper..

[JaycubL]

Yeah, but I think acetone peroxide either burns a lot slower or detonates, and this burns about the same speed every time.

It looks like acetone peroxide -)
