mormanman Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 From my grandfather. Had some stuff lying around that he was going to throw out (yes there are more stuff) inclusive a part of a label-machine which has some usable bits (the rollers, pulleys, motor...)But actually I'm not sure of the price of the phosphor bronze, but as new it's quite expensive. Guitar strings are made out of phosphor bronze (on ebay anyway and wikipedia.)
pudidotdk Posted August 1, 2007 Posted August 1, 2007 That's high quality, i think.Normally it's nickel galvanized steel.
asilentbob Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Its been a while, but IIRC the phosphor bronze strings are more directed at acoustic guitars. And im happy because im leaving in 30mins for PGI!
Spider Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 HeyI shot some shells yesterday, and now I'd like to show you the video*g*32 Mb Version: http://1click.pyroszene.net/file/528/1_August_2007.wmv3 Mb Version: http://1click.pyroszene.net/file/529/1_August_2007_Light.wmv I posted it in this thread because it makes me happy, that most things worked fine If you like details, please ask Greetz!
mormanman Posted August 5, 2007 Posted August 5, 2007 Yes, I did get the 400$ from break So you never answered you want to share???? Please.
pudidotdk Posted August 6, 2007 Posted August 6, 2007 Yup. Hmm, perhaps your friends didn't get the money because they might have send the signed Terms & Conditions to the wrong e-mail (if they e-mailed it)The e-mail stated on the papers are not the one you should send it to, so it's a bit confusing.
mormanman Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Wooooooot. I made my first star mine tonight and it was cool. It went like 10 to 15 feet in the air it was awsome.
crazyboy25 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Wooooooot. I made my first star mine tonight and it was cool. It went like 10 to 15 feet in the air it was awsome. what stars did you use and what style star mine (bag, components separated by cardboard etc.
mormanman Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I put some mighty fast pine bp in the tube (the tube was like a thick rocket tube) and wrapped some TT stars in a piece of tissue paper. The fuse was black match if anyone is wondering. They got about 15 feet of air.
qwezxc12 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Score! http://i13.tinypic.com/67rzmhk.jpgI finally got a source...for $28.00 out the door. I'm a happy pyro.
pucar Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 What is that exactly???What are you going to use it for?? I´m happy because I made a good bp!!!
Jason Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 That's 22.68kg (~50lbs to us americans) of almost pure kno3. It's about 99.2% I think.
pudidotdk Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Yay, just recieved: Aluminium, German Dark 1 kgMagnesium, 210 mesh 1 kgHexamine 1 kgNitrocellulose laquer 1 lPotassium Perchlorate 3 kgStrontium Carbonate 1 kgBarium Nitrate 2 kgSodium Benzoate 1 kgAluminium, bright flake 1 kgStrontium Nitrate 1 kgAntimony Trisulphide 1 kgBismuth Trioxide 1 kgPVC 1 kgPotassium Dichromate 0,5 kgRed Gum 0,5 kgMagnalium 1 kgAmmonium Perchlorate 2 kg Time for some experiments!
qwezxc12 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 I have to say...I LOVE the new Ball Mill I made. Making 1kg BP in 4 hours beats the hell out of 300g in 12hours! ...and it's faster, too...17% according to my 30" burn-trough test.
crazyboy25 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 good lord do the suppliers you buy from only sell in kilos?
pudidotdk Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Well, it's a KeteN order,most of the things he only sell at least a kilo. http://www.keten.org.pl/odczynniki.html
crazyboy25 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 im so happy i tested 3 of my reeper silver stars in a star tester using the pyroguide tutorial (they call it a starmine) anyway i was worried the stars would blow blind because i was having trouble lighting them on the ground but 1.5 g of my homemade lift shot three stars fifteen feet and ignited them all perfectly with nice long spark trails im very happy.
jacob Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Wow qwezxc12, i have the EXACT same kind of KN03, where did you get yours?
pudidotdk Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Wow.I met this guy who was also into making pyrotechnics, he's danish.I'm going to a firing (perhaps fire something myself) at a saturday show in Tivoli (amusement park). I can't load mortar though, since I'm underaged.He asked if he could bring me anything, he will e.g. give me a rocket with 5" shell on it and crossette candle, maybe some chems (he got like 1 ton from nitroparis)I really look forward to it, it so nice to meet a non-kewl pyro besides myself in denmark, i didn't knew that would've excisted Also I'm gonna make 100$ on a video I submitted to metacafe, it got 20000 and a score over 3, I own all rights so I will look forward to more video-produced money. Regards
qwezxc12 Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 Wow qwezxc12, i have the EXACT same kind of KN03, where did you get yours?PM'd you.
mormanman Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Wow qwezxc12, i have the EXACT same kind of KN03, where did you get yours?PM'd you. Where did you get it I want some? Come on share the love.
jacob Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Cool, thanks qwezxc, i got mine from southern states coperative, but that only works if you live in a southern state, just call everyone that might have it, and ask for about the same NPK numbers as the ones on qwezxc's bag, the phone book is your friend.
bmarley5780 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I scored a free 3" ID, 1/2" wall, 48" long spiral paper tube for free. It would be ok to used this as a mortar tube, even tho its not parallel. Right?
