crazyboy25 Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 i dont have a ball mill because of their cost and i dont need meal powder that bad so i made about 50 grams of green mix (unmilled black powder) and not suprisingly it fizzled and took 20 seconds to burn 20 grams. so i added left over magnalium about 10-20 grams not sure and wow it dramaticly improved its preformance and burned faster and hotter.
Umphrey Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Um, when you add metal powder or any catalyst to speed up black powder, it ceases being black powder. This isn't anything new or amazing. It is like the standard newbie post of using *insert "alternative" oxidizer* instead of potassium nitrate in black powder. What is so exciting or useful about greenmix with a little MgAl added to it? If you add something that increases the burning temperature, the burning speed will also increase.
