Dear Sir, I love your tutorials Ned, you have taught me so much and I cannot thank you enough. You have inspired me with your idea's and helped me with problems so many times. These tutorials have been invaluable to me and many others of that I am sure. I would love to meet you just to shake you by the hand. I live in the UK so unfortunately it's not likely to happen, but every time I start a set, I think of you and how you helped me to get to this stage. Fireworks are magical, so you the wizard, and me....a lowly apprentice, and as long as you teach I will continue learning. I am able to make a good family fireworks display thanks mainly to you and your tutorial guides. So, thank you from me and my family. Regards, Peter

I use the same blender for mixing my powder. Scored it at a garage sale for $1.50! Find it works best if you mix for 1-2 minutes then rock it back and forth for one more minute. It helps break up those clumps. Thanks for the great videos.

Wouldn't this still be considered green black powder? I tried making it like this and it produces a lot of embers and the thrust was very weak, the CIA method is interesting but too much work to be honest. Ball milling the BP seems to produce the fastest BP. I use brass media much better than the led and cleaner.

Yes, I used that mix for quite a while, RC, but now prefer the Dr. Elsey's cat litter coated with graphite powder. It's easier to make and use, is gentle on tooling, holds up well to the exhaust gasses, and does have a good shelf life in the motors. But, there are lots of ways to skin the cat.

Hey ned! Always appreciate all the help you give to us newbies. I had a question... Would I be pushing it by using willow charcoal for my bp propellant? I'm doing nozzles motors and will probably stick to the 70-20-10 ratio you mentioned in the video. I want something hotter than the mixed hardwood airflaot I've been using. But obviously don't want a cato. I have 4oz core burner tool set.

Ned how many pounds per square inch of Force do you recommend for Salli rocket fuel on the hydraulic press the tubes are going to be 1 pound 3/4 ID stringer rocket tubes?
@nedgorski
@nedgorski 4 жыл бұрын
If I'm using good quality, NEPTubes, AW, I like to use 7500 pounds per square inch of "Pressure". In a 3/4" ID tube using a solid rammer, that equates to 0.44 x 7500 = 3300 pounds of "Force". With a hollow rammer, I'd use 3/4 of that amount of Force. That depends on whether your tubes can take that amount of pressure, though, and I'm not familiar with the term you are using for your tubes.

@@aztecworrior79 AW, a very important distinction when pressing anything is the one between Force and Pressure. You'll be going with 3300 pounds of force, which is what a bathroom scale would measure and show. That force can be applied to one square inch of area, in which case you'd be applying 3300 pounds per square inch, or psi Pressure. If you applied that 3300 pounds of force to an area of one square foot, 144 square inches, that'd be 3300/144 = 22.9 pounds per square inch of Pressure. That's a vital distinction when pressing. If you have a PtoF gauge unit which reads actual Force, then that gauge should read 3300 pounds when you are pressing your 3/4" ID tube's contents with a solid rammer, and shooting for 7500 psi pressure on the comp.

I know this is an old video but I have a question, I make quarter inch end burning bp rockets with my own kraft paper tubes and I don't use tooling. It seems that if I even drill a tiny bit too deep into the bp, the entire rocket will explode. Is my bp to powerful? Are my tubes too weak? The problems I have with them exploding kind of scares me away from larger rockets.
@nedgorski
@nedgorski 6 жыл бұрын
Well, it can be one or t'other, or a combination of the two. Just don't drill too far.. (-: Larger rockets do have to be made n particular ways to avoid CATO's, but it can be done pretty easily. I prefer to stay away from the "red line" with my BP rockets, achieving that slower, graceful takeoff with a nice Whooshing sound.
