How to Make Blue Firework Stars Using Copper Sulfate

[@PraetzelProjects]

Sorry I won’t be able to post another video on this topic for a while but in the meantime I have some great videos to come :)

[@gutsywarrior1356]

i love ur experiments i am new subs please make more video :)

[@PraetzelProjects]

@@gutsywarrior1356 sorry bro in a bit busy right now and pyro is on hold.

The blue color does not tolerate high temperatures, so magnesium is not used in formulations with blue color, or very very little is added. Due to high temperatures, the spectrum shifts to red-orange. And not all copper salts are suitable for producing blue. Although I used to make blue on copper and magnesium salts, the current had blue veins, and the fire was orange

[@KAYLEBHD]

2 things I’d like to say you could still use dextrin as binder regardless of there being charcoal in the comp and also that’s pvc pipe won’t work pvc pipe only has a small percentage of polyvinyl chloride

[@PraetzelProjects]

KAYLEB_HD yeah I did just realize the dextrin thing but it is a binder that works best with water and I’m not sure I’m going to use water. Yeah I figured that the pvc was not what I hoped Thanks for the info that helps a lot :)

[@KAYLEBHD]

Praetzel Projects yeah makes sense I’d use a alcohol binder aswell

[@PraetzelProjects]

KAYLEB_HD do you think that the copper sulphate is safe to use? I just don’t want a catastrophe I haven’t heard of it reacting with any of these substances but you never know.

[@KAYLEBHD]

Praetzel Projects it should be safe as long as there is no known reactions/ side reactions but I’m probably not the best to ask for that as I’ve never worked with it before

[@PraetzelProjects]

KAYLEB_HD I think it’s fine as long as there is no potassium chlorate

[@HomemadeChemistry]

Extra like for dropping a line! Science ryhmes' da best rhymes!

[@FireworkTutorials]

Nice! I never trusted that copper sulfate would work! Now I do!

[@PraetzelProjects]

Firework Tutorials in conjunction with the barium sulfate is how I got it to work so well

[@FireworkTutorials]

Yeah, but that’s ruff is relatively cheap as well.

[@PraetzelProjects]

Firework Tutorials that’s right I think I’m onto something I can’t wait for my aluminum to be done milling (my family gets annoyed by the noise so I don’t mill 24/7) so I can’t experiment further

[@agenttassadar7272]

Try magnesium aluminum alloy.

[@Willj461]

Nice, I would love to see a blue star once you have perfected the mixture. I have tried countless times trying to make a blue star with copper sulfate

[@PraetzelProjects]

William Johnson yeah I’m working on it but it will be a while before a follow up video comes.

[@Willj461]

Praetzel Projects its all good, take your time

[@PraetzelProjects]

William Johnson thanks I appreciate that :)

[@stefanp.4154]

Hey there, I know it`s been a while ago since you uploaded this video....but have you figured out what are the exact proportions of each chemical/ingredient?

[@PraetzelProjects]

lol yeah i wish, i could probably figure it out, but my honest advice crappy as it is is to bite the bullet and place an online order of the proper ingredients, we live in the digital age and $200 will get you a several year supply depending on how much you make.

[@gbdv4446]

nice

[@firstnamelastname.7749]

How about green fireworks without barium salts? Like boric acid maybe

[@PraetzelProjects]

Won’t work, if you are thinking of adding it to methanol it is not the boric acid making it green, but a reaction creating boric trimethyl ester which burns blue. I mean you could spend a lot more money and use cesium.

[@onlyexam.]

Is it possible with lead nitrates as an oxidizer and copper oxide with some fuel and chlorine donor??....

[@PraetzelProjects]

Only Exam why the lead? Likely yes but I’m not wanting to use cuo because of other chems needed

[@onlyexam.]

@@PraetzelProjects okay...

[@Pyrokartoffel]

Can i use instead Copper Sulfate Barium Sulfate If i Want the color Green? And when will Part two come?

[@PraetzelProjects]

I used both in these tests. But yes, you would need to experiment. I have tested some new formulas with aluminum with little luck, and most of my pyro time will be dedicated to the 4th now, soon but likely this summer. Thanks for your interest!

[@Pyrokartoffel]

do you already have an approximate mix of color stars?

[@PraetzelProjects]

@@Pyrokartoffel not yet, sorry. I may work on this a little soon. Switching the metal fuel has thrown me for a loop.

[@BABU_12346]

No barium nitrate is good for it

[@Pyrokartoffel]

@@BABU_12346 i know that barium nitrate or using perchlorates is better, but I just didnt have these two years ago

[@hobbyhobby6236]

Che formula hai usato

[@sangarp2001]

so how many parts of each chemical to mix?

[@PraetzelProjects]

sangarp2001 nothing is set in stone yet I unfortunately have no proportions to give you but when I make part 2 I will have figured that out.

[@hobbyhobby6236]

Whats formula component used ?

[@CatboyChemicalSociety]

I legit have everything to make ammonium perchlorate except ammonia salt so I can bubble ammonia into perchloric acid!

[@Jazz-ji9zu]

no measurements no test shots pointless bro

[@PraetzelProjects]

I agree I stated that the mix is currently useless until I improve it greatly and only then will I release a formula And how can I make a mine or something when I haven’t even finished figuring out the formula?

[@cuhhwetes]

All that talk abd didn't even test a finished product. Lame

[@PraetzelProjects]

I’m working on it. A follow up may soon follow. This is just a proof of concept video.

[@cuhhwetes]

Wish you the best of luck.
