How to make Barium Nitrate; a Potassium Nitrate substitute, from sparklers

Can replace potassium nitrate in flash powder, rocket fuel, and other potassium nitrate compositions. For flash powder mix by volume 2 parts barium nitrate with 3 parts magnesium, aluminum, or titanium powder. The powder can be made by filing down a peice of aluminum, a magnesium flint, or a magnesium pencil sharpener. to test magnesium powder ignite and it should burn by itself. For rocket fuel, mis 2 parts barium nitrate with 1 part sugar. Comment, rate and subscribe!

@etwangboy magnesium, magnalium is the best if you can get it

[householdpyro33]

did you use the mortar to grind the finished product?

[TheHoboPyro]

@householdpyro33 yes, but it is not neccesary it just makes it burn faster

[Raydoom1]

r u sure thats barium nitrate . thort it burns green ?

[TheHoboPyro]

@Raydoom1 depending on the type of sparkler you use, it could be Barium nitrate, potassium nitrate, strontium nitrate, or potassium perchlorate; all of which are useful oxidizers

@RUZCHEMISTRY IF IT BURS GREEN OR YELLOW IT IS

[RUZCHEMISTRY]

hey kid it is not barium nitrate it is potassium nitrate and how could you be sure that it's barium nitrate?
