1) I am looking for the compositions of microstars, which produce white flashes without sound.

See video below from 15 to 20 second. Could you give some compositions of them?

 

 

2) What is the best cracking compositions with titanium powder for BP fountains?

 

Thank you.

The flashes you refer to in that section probably aren`t micro-stars.

 

This should get you close...

Potassium Nitrate 35
Barium Nitrate 20
Sulfur 17

Any answers on actual micro stars for gerb usage? I can make a blue torch that shoots sparks, but my family asks if I can make the sparks colored? I would think this would be accomplished with very small stars. Or even Dragon Eggs. Can anyone point me to information about that?

Crackling microstars make a great gerb. These are tiny Dragon's Eggs and are actually a pain in the patootie to get working right. Though the stars are great, you have to tone down your BP to keep from burning them up in the tube. I've had a love/hate relationship with that iteration of crackle.

Do you have a formula, OldMarine? Or is there a Dragon Egg tutorial that I can scale down? Have you done this? Really, I want to know how?

To be honest, I've not looked for it here since it was in the article section of FW. It's damned simple.

 

PM Lloyd and I think he'll get you straight.

Thanks to Lloyd! I won't share without permission and it's better read from the hand that wrote it originally.
