Homemade Magnesium/kclo4 Polumnas

The magnesium used was completely prepared at home from coarse shavings. Ball-milled for a month with 1" steel ball media to break down the shavings, then ceramic media after a week to make it pyro grade 600+ mesh.

So now my question is, why use magnesium instead of aluminum?

Also your video at 4:25-4:35 says that people have left over aluminum left if using 7:3 ratio which is true. Then you say so if possible buy another pound of aluminum, which doesn't make sense because you will need another pound of perchlorate instead lol. Just a correction.

@g3ra912 yes I know I need to fix that

[g3ra912]

So why use Magnesium instead of Aluminum if it produces the same result? Also you need more of it, so that means it will cost more?

Magnesium oxidizes easier, can you explain because I don't understand this type of things lol. Oxidezes easier as in you need to mix/ shake it less for the flash to be ready?

[freedomismoneyusa]

@g3ra912 potassium perchlorate is the source oxygen here. Its called kclo4 because on a molecular level it has 4 oxygen atoms (hence its technical name) and when you add enough heat or friction, the magnesium will use the oxygen from the kclo4 to turn into magnesium oxide. Lucky for pyros, this reaction happens very fast!

[g3ra912]

I guess it would be safer to make this powder with aluminum if it produces the same results in power and how loud it is. (Idk if al is more expensive though)

[freedomismoneyusa]

@g3ra912 magnesium powder oxidizes easier than aluminum, but has less mass so you need more of it. Its all up to the consumer I suppose, but sensitivity is pretty much the same

Go into pyrotechnics.

I use to buy these by the hundreds in Mexico when I would visit relatives.they called them palomitas

Not bad. Make some bigger ones. :)
