THEONE Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Has anybody try the kno3/al/s as a rocket fuel ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUcZ5HoVuc
Mumbles Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Most flash powders make poor rocket fuels due to the lack of gaseous products, and relatively high densities.

Col Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 Pressing slow flash at 9000psi doesn`t sound like a particularly good idea to me
Mumbles Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 That's not what I'd be worried about. Many flitter, white mag, and streamer stars are not much more than glorified flash powders. I know at least one person who has pressed a rocket full of 70/30. It didn't last long, but it's been done.
THEONE Posted January 3, 2012 Author Posted January 3, 2012 Pressing slow flash at 9000psi doesn`t sound like a particularly good idea to me I do not think so that it will ignite with pressing, it is enough hard to ignite
Col Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I find slow flash is as easy to light as bp. The video doesn`t give the comp or the type of aluminium used but its probably not dark flake or it would have gone up... in a flash Edited January 3, 2012 by Col
