  • you said just a bit of BP in the bottom of the can? so are you talking about a special lunch tube, disposable cardboard tube, or like a soup can? sorry for my ignorance, just didn't know if that was some kind of pyro lingo or like a generic term for an old tin can. also was your charcoal crushed to a powder, mixed powder chunks, or what ever you wanna do? never tried this kind before, thanks

  • @demnlordd666 Yes, about a quarter inch or so black powder in the bottom of a coffee can with a layer of tissue paper on top. Above that is finely powdered charcoal.

  • how many grams of gun powder/charcoal?

  • @hotrodmcspoonjr I don't measure for fireballs. Just coat the bottom of the can with BP until you just about can't see the bottom through it, lay a piece of tissue above, then fill with as much charcoal or powdered coffee creamer as you have.

  • is it just plain charcoal or do you have to add a lift like gunpowder to it? is it loud at all?

  • @panhead247 It requires black powder to lift the charcoal. In response to your comment on my other video, these are silent.

  • Could you use this in your airsoft land mine instead of baking soda?

  • that is awesome. looks like you could do small scale reenactments of large explosions for home movies/ fun projects. I like it, would also add a nice back drop for a small finale on home fireworks shows. mix just a tiny bit of coarse magnesium and iron filings for fun to look like a steel casing blew up, but no bang to annoy the neighbors. ha ha you could scare the shit out of a friend. put one just outside their window, look like all hell broke loose, but just effect. safety first though.

  • Cool smoke ring :D

  • a nuke :)

    

  • mini nuke!
