Even when lit the various mixes he missed the ideal mix ratio of KNO3 65% and Sugar 35 %. How he decided that 50/50 was the most energetic is beyond me. That looked like a normal flame. You want to hear the oxygen sizzle as it's being formed. A sound of a whoosh. Making an extra large candy motor is simple and cheap. But the mega size motors like L can really take off and produce a lot of thrust.

I make my saltpetre and sugar into a powder in a small coffee grinder. (Separately) I mix 50/50 and add 91 percent rubbing alcohol to make a wet mix. I fill a tube for a rocket motor and let the mix dry out with some heat. When the mix has hardened drill a small hole through the hardened mixture and make a nozzle. I use a washer that has a hole in it and secure it with steel epoxy mix. (JB Weld) If you make a small amount put it on a spoon to test. My mix is rather explosive.

One drop of water in the mix makes a difference. You're basically combining an oxidizer and a fuel. A drop of water will pre-combine the ingredients and make burn more efficient. The saltpeter, harmless by itself- albeit corrosive- will do the same thing to wood or anything else (like paper, saw dust) that burns on its own. This is similar to how trinitrotoluene :TNT is made, ANFO too. Be careful storing the mixed fuel/oxidizer combo... it can become unstable and ignite / explode in the right conditions... Remember Nitroglycerin? Mean stuff... Put some (of your 50/50 + a few drops of H2O) in a coke can on the hood of an enemy's car... WooHoo!

@patrichausammann3 жыл бұрын
@@osamabinladen824 Hello dear subscriber to my channel! No 50/50 is not the optimum. The optimal mix of these two components would be around 65% KNO3 and 35% sugar. It would work better than shown in this video if the components were dissolved in distilled water and the water then evaporated off at the lowest possible temperature, at around 100 degrees Celsius. You shouldn't exceed 120 degrees Celsius as the KNO3 can deteriorate. But sorbitol may be a better fuel than sugar because you don't need water to mix the ingredients together homogeneously. I am writing this because remaining water can negatively affect the burning reaction and sorbitol has a melting point of around 100 degrees Celsius. The ideal ratio of KNO3 and sorbitol is the same as stated for sugar. First melt the sorbitol at the temperature mentioned and then stir in the KNO3 evenly. Disclaimer: I decline any responsibility.

That's pretty cool either way you look at it. When I saw it I immediately wondered how hot it burned. And whether or not it could be used as a substitute for thermite. Some testing of trying to weld rebar together would be kind of cool.

Nothing compared to thermite. Thermite will burn through a engine block in 5 min

you forgot the disclaimer don't try this at home also you should probably put gloves on and safety goggles this way if anyone does get dumb and think hey they can do this too at least they'll copy you completely at least you would think they would also you should adjust your sugar to 66% and 33% potassium nitrate I think you're going to have a better reaction next time try potassium permagatite a little dash of that it will surprise you or you can always go with brake fluid and chlorine that is a timed explosion or just potassium permagatite and glycerin which you can find in the women's beauty section at any store just about and the potassium permitage you can get at your local hardware store it's used to remove iron from water it's a nice little thing to have in your doomsday bag if you want to try and start a fire somewhere in a situation that you just don't have the ability to do friction fire or maybe it could be raining a little vaseline and a cotton ball is a nice little wick Burns for at least 10 minutes before it goes out.
