How to make A BALL MILL at Home| Cheap version

In today's video I'll show you how I made my ball mill at home with cheap materials that suppose to be thrown away, in my case that was air conditioning fan that had a broken propeler. I absolutely love to make stuff like this with materials that are useles in one way but in other are worth a fortune. All materials I used in this video to make this Ball mill I found at home, but If you don't have them all they are not that expensive, except a fan I don't recommend buying a new fan for these purposes, try finding online some old and broken fan but make sure all the wires are ok before you plug it in outlet. Best thing to do in that situation is to go to your local electrician and check with him, or just look for a fan that's still working but someone don't need it anymore. Also I want to thank to each one of my subscribers that helped me grow channel big of 7000 people that suport it, so THANK YOU!
And I hope this video will help you in making your first Ball mill at home. See you guys on the next video. Peace.
Thank you for watching this video!

I know this is 2 years old, but PLEASE do not use steel balls in a black powder mill. They could spark and ignite/blow up the powder. I have seen lead balls used. I am not sure about the glass marbles. Great videos! I love your work.

[@idkwhattocallmyselfsothiswilld]

Thanks for the info. I made this ball mill today. Can't wait to try my black powder out.

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Awesome! Have a great time and be careful!

[@fsipek5463]

Oh, i waited for this tutorial 😍

[@sidyajv]

Thanks for the video. Your channel is so underrated.

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Thanks man, you could also check out my upgraded version of ball mill if you haven't already, I dove much more in detail there about tools and the build itself :))

[@sirbtchpudding8214]

Hey thanks so much for this video it's so awesome you make content your viewers want

[@dextreme1754]

Thank you so much i very love your Vids!!!

[@dextreme1754]

Wow i m in your Vid wow thank you!!!

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Thank you! I appreciate your support.

[@matthewfranks6751]

Thanks man you just gave me some good ideas to make my own

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

I'm glad I can help you!

[@AnmolKumar-od1uu]

Please make a video on flash powder

[@untitledusername3799]

Good video. Thanks

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

No problem!

[@gangstatutorials7378]

You gotta get 10k!!!!!☺

[@alexbar327]

Ty man,you are the best

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

No problem! Thanks for your support :)

[@rick5078]

try using brass ball bearings instead, not so prone to damage as the glass marbles are and its the only truly spark-free metal. If replicating this build, you might want to put a long wire between the fan motor and the control unit so you can use the controls from a distance. The controls can generate sparks and you want to have those as far away as possible.

[@dawidwroblewski3731]

Thx now i can make a ballmill

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

You're welcome!

[@thxo6639]

👍Very good

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@channelcircuitzilla7339]

Impressive!!

[@fusedsteva]

Thank you, I've worked on it.

[@__djcruzer__8986]

can you make about making a dark aluminum powder

[@albusdumbledore6772]

it is a lot of help from your side i made this ball mill for about 20 minutes and also from fan but i have broken electrict chain saw maybe i repair this and in the future i made a ball mill from this chain saw i think it is more efficient what are you think about this?

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

That will probably work also, just check performances of that motor on long milling time, will it overheat.

[@Psychotic42069]

Can i put the container like mid air? With no wheels spinnin and supporting it

[@tertis7090]

My motor from a fan gets really hot, does yours do that too?

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Much pebber ball mill is already on my channel :)

[@irfanshareef7197]

hi, can you make for us a video explaining ,HOW TO MAKE RUBBER BAND CUTTING MACHINE, thankyou

[@winstonsmith3696]

Could you use a rock tumbler/ polisher?

[@goodmaro]

Yes, but it's slow and of low capacity.

[@jacobramirez4894]

Where did you get the plastic pole

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

I've found it somewhere around my house, try with handle from those spider-web swipers, those fluffy things used to clean spider-web. Maybe you could find other plastic poles similar to this. I hope this helps.

[@jacobramirez4894]

@@MakeAndDestroyFireworks ok thanks

[@tuxnoel]

Why can't you guys use mixer grinder instead?

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

This is a proper way for pyro! Finer dust you get the better. Most of the times ;)

[@HennanniceExtra]

Since it is a fan motor, does the rod spin too fast? I want the jar to spin slower than regular fan speed but is it enough to just put the balls in there so the weight of the jar slows it down?

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

You can use some fisics to slow it down. If your jar is bigger and the rod thinner you'll have slower transmission

[@HennanniceExtra]

Make & Destroy ok thank you, I’ll try that out

[@cabiplabsingharoy9352]

What is the RPM of this ball mill at low speed ?

[@gametrue2229]

But if you say dont try this at home, why make the tutorial

[@tannergilliland6105]

Do you have to have certification or something to make fireworks?

[@acquaminerale4791]

Yes, but... shhh ahah

[@hiichanistheloml4201]

can I use this improvised ball mill to powder wood?? should I pound the wood before putting it in ball mill?? please notice this. I badly need this for research. thank you.

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

I use sawdust for making charcoal, but you can put your charred wood pieces in "heavy duty" plastic bag and carefully hit with round rock so the bag doesn't get ripped. Then just sift fine particles using dust mask.

[@hiichanistheloml4201]

I could use ordinary marbles as a replacement for the steel balls right? is the outcome the same or is the steel ball preferable ?? thank you so much. laboratories turned their backs on us that's why my team are rushing. thank you for your feedback

[@hiichanistheloml4201]

could I also use this ball mill to synthesize nanocrystalline?

[@goodmaro]

@@hiichanistheloml4201 The denser the media, the better. Glass marbles always crack after some use, leaving fragments of glass in your product. Ceramic marbles tend to spark, but even glass isn't spark-proof, with electrostatic polarization between the medium and the jar material. Brass is pretty good, but is attacked by nitrate if you're milling BP, and contaminates your product with zinc. Lead is traditional, but soft enough that it will contaminate your product with toxic powder. Antimony-hardened lead, as in shot, is better. Stainless steel isn't so stainless against nitrate, and also sparks.

[@anthonycaminiti8734]

My ball mill is Evan cheaper and easier to make! It’s a motor three weels a peace of Plywood and and a thick paper barrel! Also get sum more media! You use way to much dextrin in ur bp. Only one to two percent is needed when you mill the dextrin with the bp. I don’t even use dextrin I just use alcohol, to dissolve the left over rosin in the charcoal but great video! I know what I’m talkin about look at the bp on my KZbin channel 😉

[@treelonmusk8324]

I think people forget it's not that easy to get a motor like that

[@MakeAndDestroyFireworks]

Maybe you can get one from junkyard or smth like that. But don't use it until electrician looks it up to assure it's performance.

[@lancealexander8071]

Too many RPM’s

[@goodmaro]

No, I don't think so. Lloyd Sponenburgh says 100 RPM or more is good. You can use lower RPM if your jar has baffles to pick up the media so they get partway up the wall and crash down onto the pile. He says that action, rather than rolling, grinding by the media is what gets good results in a short period of milling.

[@leod7454]

Excellent video with AWFUL music 😄
