Wow... 1 pound of high performance commercial black powder lifting a small amount of nondairy creamer... Smart.

We've done more than a few successful cremoras... this was an experiment. Another lesson learned...

plastic bucket = shards of plastic going EVERYWHERE = NOT SMART

What a fucking waste of all that material... anyone with an ounce of pyrotechnics knowledge would know that the charge has to be completely under the cremora to lift it into the air... not lagging around the outside of a mortar

I think it is traditional to put lift powder UNDER whatever it is you are trying to lift, LOL. I recall a quote from the skylighter newletters saying that a full pound of *2FA* in a 5 gal will lead to pieces "Strewn far & wide" if the bucket is shatter-able. I'd suggest using HDPE, cutting way back on lift, and using something comparable to 2FA (or cannon grade graphite coated). 2FG seems a little extreme.

1 pound of powder?!? you didn't need more than 2 tablespoons for that! And looking directly over the mortar just before launch is never smart!

Wow, even i knew that wasn't gonna go as expected... you must be REALLY dumb.

Nice pipe bomb.  Dude, you have NO idea how to build this properly. 1, way too much powder. 2, you need the powder UNDER the cremora.

ok first off u prob only needed 1/4 of the bp 2nd how did u expect the creamer from the botom of the buccet to go off if nuthing was pushing it the only powder tht would of gon in the air is the powder tht was covering the mortar comensence u should of either put a little bit of bp in the mortar coverd the bp with paper then put the creamer on top of tht or you could of put the lb of bp in the botom of the bucket then put paper on tht then put in the creamer tht fireball would of been extream.
