Making Gun Powder

Ingredients:
Charcoal ( made from the tree Rhus chinensis)
Saltpeter ( Potassium nitrate)
#Saltpeter is taken 1/3
Usually prepared by assuming with no accurate calculations.
The traditional method of extracting saltpeter for gunpowder is no more practice due to rapid changes of modern advancement.

Can you make a traditional way of making salt peter video if possible Thanks

[@tingzky]

We no longer use the old way of obtaining salpetre for gunpowder because of advancing in our dwelling place and other ways... Our forefathers used to extract salpeter from soil(in dry condition) in which humans live for centuries.

It occurred Naturally under dung heaps. .yo can collect urine let it sit for 3 days then simmer it until all liquid has evaporated. There's a saltpeter/nitrate

[@adaptolife]

In the 60's, I read how to make gunpowder. I got saltpeter from the drug store, and a charcoal briquette. Used a hammer to pulverize the charcoal, mixed in the saltpeter, and threw a match on it. Poof! It burned like a ball of fire. Performed this experiment in the street gutter, in front of our house, age 10.

Sulphur is the third component of blackpowder. I missed seeing it being added.

[@tingzky]

Actually I didn't add sulfur. In the traditional method we don't add sulfur.

[@stephenbrinckerhoff3510]

It wasn't shown. Neither was the final step of grinding the proper grades and their uses.

[@Mortartube]

Sulphurless meal powder is used when combined with mixtures containing chlorate as sulphur and chlorates can be very sensitive to friction and shock.

You can make powder by grinding all the ingredients to very fine powder, then combine wet, make dough, and granulate with a screen . Dry fast, it works.

Where most people get lost in the process of making black powder doing it over an open flame. What could possibly go wrong?

[@tingzky]

You mean got burnt or explode while drying?

[@David0lyle]

A moderately more sophisticated version of the process involves steam heating. Apparently another name for a steam heated kettle is a “powder kettle “.

[@FeltonZackery-gm8yl]

I’ve found that allowing your powder dry naturally works best.Stirring every day.

[@oldrabidus2230]

If it’s wet it will not explode.

[@tingzky]

[@robertclare6137]

Not how we made it as 10 year old kids, 2 parts Sulphar, 1 part charcoal 1.5 parts Nitrate, mixed dry in a plastic or wooded bowl with a plastic or wood spoon, If you cant get sulphur use sodium thiosulphate to only ONE part.

[@ahjeff70]

Can we buy this saltpeter in any shop? What a difference with saltpeter and salt that we use in the kitchen 🤔

Yes, saltpeter is a common name of potassium nitrate (KNO3). Kitchen salt( NaCl) doesn't support combustion.

No, it's an additional fuel only. We can prepare without sulfur also.

[@laurencedarabia2000]

@@tingzky Sulfur is not a fuel in black powder, its function is as a catalyst. It serves to increase the reaction speed between saltpeter and char. the mixture of just saltpeter with char does not reach 100 meters per second burning speed and can only serve as a propellant for fireworks. The addition of a.c. 10% sulfur brings the speed to c.a. 1,000 meters per second, transforming it into a powerful explosive device

[@tingzky]

@@laurencedarabia2000 Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😃

[@jabohabo3821]

This is done for entertainment and not for information. Here's a quick tip for the sulfur and potassium.nitrate part. Simply find some good quality black Black soil. Ask a friend or farmer with chickens to collect a 5 gallon bucket of soil from under where their chicken coop.is or was. They will know what you mean. Put holes in the bottom of said bucket. Put tight mesh strain cloth under the bucket. Pour in hot boiling water and catch the runoff in a seperate container. Cover and wait overnight for it to cool. When you come back you will find crystals growing in the bottom. Best to leave it to grow till afternoon if you can. Further process these crystals by repeating the water process with the crystals crushed up. Second crystals are purer. And so on and so forth... Sulfur is a bit trickier and can be obtained theough buying or finding large amounts of iron pyrite, crushing said pyrite into powder and smoke distilling it. That is putting it in a clay container with a tube coming out of it that collects into another container then cooking the container with the crushed pyrite over even medium fire. Said smoke will leave a nearly pure sulfur coating on the inside of the second container. Congratulations. You now have slightly unstable gunpowder. Tweak ratio yourself. Add sugar for bigger oomf.
