Svimmer Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Anyone heard of that the indian have whistle mix without perchlorate im pretty sure i did read something about that somewhere. Edited January 8, 2018 by Sondre
NeighborJ Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 Chlorate whistle is what comes to mind. I haven't played with it but I know many have and they will usually mix it with perchlorate to desensitized the mix. 1
Svimmer Posted January 8, 2018 Author Posted January 8, 2018 Chlorate whistle is what comes to mind. I haven't played with it but I know many have and they will usually mix it with perchlorate to desensitized the mix.i think it was without benzoate too
NeighborJ Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 It could be chlorate and KHP. I use the KHP and perc on shorter spindles and WOW they are powerful, I could only imagine them with chlorate. 1
pirotek Posted January 8, 2018 Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Here for example fuelcomposition Potassium picrate and potassium nitrate 50/50rocket fuel with potassium picratehttps://youtu.be/4Eb4qGxW6Tw Edited January 8, 2018 by pirotek 2
Wolverine Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 Aside from maybe perch/benzoate with no catalyst I don't know if I'd consider whistle the best for newbies. I know I'm being a little hypocritical as it was my favorite from the get go but I stand by it. Whistle is strong stuff and can be quite sensative. 1
Wolverine Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 To illustrate my point the whistle in this video is unconfined. Also note it's effect on the blast shield. http://www.wichitabuggywhip.com/fireworks/extra/500gramwhistleselfconfinetest2.wmv
NeighborJ Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Here's a test I did on my first batch of whistle from 3 summers ago. It was placed in a condiment cup from McDonalds and couldn't have been more than 2 grams. 1
pirotek Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 yes this mixture needs to be compressed my first rockets have poor pressing and become my loudest petards

Think there was a guy on here had the same thing happen w/ hybrid motors a few years back too.It requires dilligent attention to safety and detail, is all I'm sayin.
