nick2354 Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 is it possible to make a bottle rocket with powder from safety matches?
nick2354 Posted November 19, 2007 Author Posted November 19, 2007 Ok, but how is it dangerous, as it isn't sensitive?
pudidotdk Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Wrap two matches in foil, place on a stand, then heat up the end. Seriously, you do not want to ram match-powder in a tube. Match powder is very sensitive, and is not even very powerful. Wrap a few matchheads in tape and hit it with a hammer and find out for yourself why you shouldn't ram it. (Use safety gear)
nick2354 Posted November 22, 2007 Author Posted November 22, 2007 I wrapped 2 matches in tape and hit it with a hammer whilst wearing safety glasses, and it took a hard hit to make it go bang.
