Spolettes made a traditional way

[@PnwPryo]

This is just the video I was looking for and has exactly the answer I was looking for, cool 👍

[@Osmtwc]

very interesting to watch, thanks for showing this traditional method. Sadly this kind of craftmanship is very much illegal in my country.

[@tomcastonguay2847]

I like learning about cool things and you do well as you present the info concisely and interestingly Peace love & jello TomCat

[@nedgorski]

Thanks, Tom. So many small parts and techniques go into our devices.

@Adolf Hitler well, hopefully you're not adolf hitler, either

[@6977warrior1]

Anyone else notice that Ned whacks the hammer exactly 13 times on every instance of loading the BP into the spolettes?

[@PraetzelProjects]

6977warrior1 yes, which I found interesting because his usual is 8

[@jimmysrandomness]

Whats the difference between time fuse and spolete? I mean the purpose of the 2 is the same

[@gonzodagreek8560]

So at what size shell should one switch from using simple timed fuse to spolettes?

[@dudenorway828]

very Nice. Thanx for the video.

[@tedjevanes8601]

Alfredo Martarello (Your intro states Martello) is the man!

[@nedgorski]

He is quite a character, and has a wealth of pyro experience. Thanks for the correction.

[@kenkowalski1314]

Always wanted to know how the did time fuse the old way without Japanese intervention:-) Awesome Ned!!Cheers

[@jamesluck2969]

Enzerism UFO PHOTOGRAPHY GIPPSLAND, after with (strong disregards to safety ) taking apart cheap firework shells the time fuse it made the same way. Well without black match.

Will BP ignite with hammer taps? Also will flash powder be better? Will flash ignite with hammer taps?

[@nedgorski]

No, NO! and YES!

Sir how to make white time fuse

[@Rokynutz]

Hey Ned, been following you for years on the various forums, including being a member for the last two years on your forum. Thank you for everything you have contributed to us all. I’m curious though, what are the rammers made out of? I have been bouncing around all the forums and your channel to figure it out. To me, they look like SS. Any info would be wonderful.

[@nedgorski]

Yep, stainless steel, BW. They work great. Thanks for the kind words.

[@willowpine2604]

@@nedgorski hey ned i have a question for you it has to do with the rocket tube supporters.. does the tube wall thickness itself play's a role if it is thick or thin for gases to expand making it CATO or it doesn't matter?? (ps * the rocket is R-candy and have core!) Can the supporter hold it tightly after rumming or it will brake after you open the supporter or even worse making CATO?

[@stevenl7878]

Are you worried at all about the impact sensitivity of the black powder? I know bp can be pressed but the hammering is putting multiple shocks into the bp versus a press which does not introduce hammer shocks.

[@matheusdardenne]

The powder is very slightly wet, it is nearly impossible that it would ignite from that light beating.

[@uzimary6212]

Hi there. Beautiful video. I have a question please. It is possible to make a rocket engine. From gunpowder. No additions thanks.

[@nedgorski]

Sure. BP rockets are very common. And, thanks for the kudos.

[@uzimary6212]

Thank you for your quick response

[@uzimary6212]

gunpowder.

[@nedgorski]

gunpowder is a generic term which can refer to various different gun propellants. In fireworking, we typically use basic black powder made from KNO3, charcoal, and sulfur.

[@uzimary6212]

Okay now I understand. Not possible to buy in Canada potassium nitrate. And I understand why. But I can buy gunpowder. BP. I have a license and thanks again

[@multimediapc5681]

hello ned, could you tell me how is the best delay composition

[@nedgorski]

"delay composition"...?? I'm familiar with that term as used in rocket making, but not in reference to spolettes. Sorry.

[@PnwPryo]

@@nedgorskiyou know what he means why pretend and make him feel dumb . What’s the best black powder composition for spolettes

[@nedgorski]

@@PnwPryo Mmmmm, Black Powder.

[@xmaxlev]

Is the dampening the big diffrence with your way of making spolettes? Regards Max

[@xmaxlev]

Negerarmen Is a funnel used usually?

[@nedgorski]

Dampening the comp, using the pointed-tip rammer, the way of loading and ramming the increments... There are quite a few small differences from the way I've usually made them.

[@xmaxlev]

ned gorski Any pro/cons with this method, compared to your regular method? Curious because I always use timefuse. // Max

[@nedgorski]

I like the speed and efficiency of this method, combined with the hard grain end exterior, due to the dampening. I also like the reliability of the interior grain end, shaped with the pointed rammer, and the inclusion of the grain powder in the finishing. So, in general, I'm sold on the benefits of the method shown in this vid.

[@stevkolasab7269]

Why is my spolletes so slow? Thx for respond

[@nedgorski]

I'd have to guess it's the BP you're using in them. We use good, hot, fast, BP in spolettes.

[@stevkolasab7269]

@@nedgorski Thank you

[@stevkolasab7269]

@@nedgorski can i use granulated BP for this?

[@nedgorski]

@@stevkolasab7269 I'd highly recommend a fine, granulated BP for spolettes. The grains will bit into tube wall, really locking the BP grain in there, preventing it from being blown through when the shell lifts.

[@stevkolasab7269]

@@nedgorski okey Thank you for tips but i just tried it with granulated i hammered it well and the result was very good better than with my fine bp

[@thebestcdub3041]

Is there a difference between the bp you compressed into the spolette and the bp you sprinked onto the black-match and divot? Your video's are great btw, educational, safe, and fun :) Keep up the great work Ned!

[@thebestcdub3041]

Just watched Fireworking 201 Lesson 10 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2ekfp58rpJjh9E ) I understand now, the rammed powder was "meal powder" (powder grains that passed 12-mesh) and the powder you sprinkled was assumingly larger.
