GMetcalf Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Am I right in thinking this mix doesn't have any proper oxidiser? I can't see this being able to make a blue star. 1

Andres1511 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 More details, ratio for the chems, video, photos, burn speed, test in shells, and then we'll see.
Mumbles Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 You can make NC based stars. It in essence acts as it's own fuel and oxidizer. You just need to provide a colorant. You need clean NC (aka no smokeless) for this to work. This was being explored as an alternative to AP stars for use in indoor and proximate pyro. I'm not sure if it ever caught on or became economically viable.
taiwanluthiers Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 So you can't use single base smokeless powder for this (like H50BMG)?
Mumbles Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Try it if you want. Blue is going to be the most sensitive to contaminants.
Ubehage Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I never thought of this.. Very interesting, thank you.I will try this method on some of the Veline-compositions, because I'm also out of perch.
