I have a feeling this is mostly a robot translation, and that is, as usual a crappy translation.

I'm just guessing here, but i think he's Russian? Perhaps someone who can help him, at least to get a proper translation out. I cant even make sense of the formula he posted...

(Which however might be more a lack of experience with strobes on my part, then anything else. Does anyone recognize the formula?)

Changing the mesh size of the magnalium will change the strobe rate, or frequency. The bigger the flakes, the slower the strobe.

Than finding someone who can read write Russian wont do much good. :- )

I hope you weren't insulted, that wasn't my intent.

Changing the CuO amount will also affect the strobe rate. I am not familiar with that particular formula so I cannot say what it's rate may be. Shimizu's AP strobes are the only ones I have commonly seen a frequency published for.

You have a better formula?

Barium (green strobe) or strontium nitrate (red strobe) 54

 

Sulfur 18

 

Magnalium 60-mesh 12

 

Parlon 10

 

Antimony trisulfide chinese needle or dark pyro 6

 

wet with acetone and make cut stars

Translation is not very clear

Just flash frequency is not very good

kno3 31.1

charcoal, airfloat sofwood (willow,poplar,paulownia) 11.5

red gum 4.1

sulfur 4.9

iron oxide (black or red) 7.4

magnalium -230 mesh (or dark aluminum) 12.3

dextrin 4.1

would this strobe work with 325 mesh magnalium??

best way to find out would be to make a small test batch and light it :)
