Hey Ned, pretty new pyro here! I was wondering if you had any material or videos on making a similar device to a black cat magnum flasher(it’s a mini strobing fountain thing). They are an all time favorite of mine and was wondering if you had an easy to follow guide on a similar device!
This is middle school math, and it shouldnt be overlooked. If you cant do this math, its because you don't have much apptitude, and will most likely hurt yourself. At this point you should have a good understanding of organic chemestry, understanding concepts like molar mass and how to work the balanced equations. There is so much help on youtube, it shouldnt take very long to get through it. Plus you will be able to make cool things like tetrazols.
I see your thumbs and have to wonder having similar short stubby thumbs do people make fun of yours as well? Keep rocking them awesome thumbs my friend
The old-school formulas that do my head in are the ones listed as 'parts by volume' instead of parts by weight. Not impossible to convert, but not trivial either.
I've never seen a formula listed per volume rather than weight, Will. That would never work for me. The volume of a chem like KNO3, for example, will vary quite a bit depending on its particle size, etc.
I'm going to have to eat humble pie because I can't remember which book it was. It was very old (eg: "Saltpetre"). If I ever rediscover it I'll report back.
@@SimoWill75 I s'pose if the charcoal is airfloat fine, the KNO3 is milled really fine and fluffy, the sulfur is fine and sifted, I could probably weigh out a 75:15:10 batch, and determine volume measurements which would be close enough to make an OK batch of BP, but it'd be a bit of a PITA exercise to do so. Scales/weights are our friends.
very nice video, I had a question. You told that if you have a formula for 10grams and you want 100grams you just divite all the parts by 10. but does that allways work? Like you want 10.000grams everything × 1000? because of the burning time I guess you can not divite everything. Or is that bullshit I just tought. kind regards, Jeffrey
Hi, Zen. If I have a formula that is tailored to make 10g of comp, and I want to make 100g of it, I'd just multiply all the parts in the 10g formula by 10 to arrive at the parts for a 100g batch. That's a bit different than the formula conversions I was showing in the vid. I hope that helps. n
wow i wasn't terrible at math but you need to be a teacher 100 times better than my teachers explanations or maybe its because they weren't talking about bp but apples and oranges lol
Im really enjoying the series! Thanks a lot!
My, pleasure, Schel. Thanks for the nice feedback.

Great Lesson Ned ...Thank You
I’m pretty good with math and formulas, yet, I learned something! Awesome Ned! Thanks!!! ;-)
Learn somethin' new every day. Keeps our minds young...

I'd suggest checking out the strobe rocket motor project on Skylighter for starters. It sounds like a version of a strobe pot/motor. Good luck.
@@nedgorski thank you so much for the help! I will!

ned gorski Thanks
did you have Sister Catherine for math too?
Sister Jude at All Saints School, Nate. (-:
cool thx
Sir what is the formula of competition boson tubri?
