Wilqu Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Hello everyone! I would like to show you guys how to make my spinning tops/helicopters etc.. These are not such ordinary helicopters because they are thrown from the hand ( Maybe that scares you guys but it's safe) in the video I will show you how to throw them. In fact my dad made a lot of such this things when he was a kid and, now I make them. I am a beginner amateur that is why I am starting with something like this. Tommorow i upload the films. Today i'm just upload how to make them. And as you can see for yourself in the video to make such a spinner you need a Vodka Cap etc. And one more question I don't know why but my magnesium powder burns ( without any oxidizer or anything like that) with a bright white flame very fast, maybe it is some kind of alloy of magnesium. What do you think guys? Making the helicopters.mp4
Zumber Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Even though if it is 100 percent safe (as you are taking about) I would never recommend to hold it in a hand and throw it. Pyrotechnic mixture are energetic and can cause fatal damage or injury if accident happens somehow. Magnesium alone burns in presence of flame, it reacts with oxygen in air to produce magnesium oxide and releases heat and white flame.
Wilqu Posted February 14 Author Posted February 14 I understand you zumber in 100%. I know it is dangerous but I have two reasons why it is reasonably safe in my opinion. I have experience with it because I've done about 100 of these helicopters. And secondly I release these helicopters about 3 seconds ahead of time before they light up. I'm going to work on trying with this vodka cap to make a real helicopter that takes off from the bottom. It will be much safer for sure.
