*_➔_* ua-cam.com/video/q0C-CQSHWRE/v-deo.htmlsi=KVF1Nq8Db1fKUAHa Whistle of Wintergreen, abbreviated as WoW, is a whistle mix that functions as a rocket propellant that exhibits excellent specific impulse. It accomplishes this by using Oil of Wintergreen, - which is methyl salicylate - as its plegmatizing agent, which has an analogous structure to sodium salicylate, the main fuel of this whistle composition. Normally, paraffin wax, petroleum jelly, or mineral oil is used to plegmatize whistle mixes, but none of these materials possess an analogous chemical structure based on Salicyllic acid. Methyl salicylate obviously does, however, which makes its implementation as a strategic plegmatic agent one that warrants immediate usage due to the fact that it exhibits synergistic properties with whistle fuels. Methyl salicylate in this composition acts as a unique type of plegmatizer that forges with the sodium salicylate - or whatever other primary whistle fuel you may choose to use, - splicing into it on a very close molecular level, and is able to contribute additional audio and power to the whistle propellant mixture, which is not typical of the traditional plegmatizing agents usually employed in these particular contextual scenarios to stabilize whistle mixes. Methyl salicylate, therefore, is an extremely exceptional plegmatizer for these purposes, as the oxidizer - in this case, just potassium perchlorate ❲KClO4₄❳ - treats it very similarly to the main whistle fuel when it comes to combusting it. This is because of the molecular structure of methyl salicylate, as said already. It is an aromatic compound based on the benzene ring, just like all the classical whistle fuels, meaning it has highly similar combustion characteristics to these main whistle fuels, i.e., whistling loudly when burned in the presence of a strong oxidizing agent and especially so when also in close proximity to a catalyzing additive. The only difference between the main whistle fuels and compounds like methyl sali is the fact that it is a low molecular-weight organic ester as opposed to an ionic salt, making it an oily liquid at standard temperatures and pressures. Alternatively, other esters of salicyllic acid or methyl/ethyl/propyl/butyl benzoate or methyl/ethyl/propyl/butyl phthalate all can also be used as viable alternatives or replacements. Diethylmethylbenzamide, benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol or its esters, methyl anthranilate, acetophenone, benzaldehyde, or anisole are all additional examples of similarly employable compounds with parallel compatability to methyl salicylate. If you would possibly want to step things up to the top notch and get extra outgoing, using aniline or nitrobenzene would be the protocol for ultra-extreme performance, yielding superbly impressive ISP in the final propellant, due to the significantly autocatalytic combustion nature of aromatic amino and nitro groups in energetic situations. To create standard WoW Propellant, you will need to abide by the following formulation and procedureː *_6Ƽ% Peroidin, commonly known as potassium perchlorate._* *_20% Sodium salicylate, known as Na sali._* *_10% Methyl salicylate, known as Me sali._* *_2% Red gum, an accroide resin-based antioxidant and combustion regulating agent._* *_2% Yellow iron oxide, which is often referred to as iron❲III❳ hydroxide, Fe❲OH❳₃._* *_1% Isatoic anhydride, acting as a storage stabilizer._* Preparation instructions: Mill your potassium perchlorate with the isatoic anhydride until talcum-like consistency is achieved. Ideally, for best results, you should bake your potassium perchlorate in the oven on an aluminium foil-lined baking sheet for Ƽ0 minutes minimum at a temperature of 9Ƽ °C ❲≈200 °F❳ to remove all moisture, as potassium perchlorate is actually very mildly hygroscopic and has the capability of absorbing small amounts of atmospheric humidity. When ready, pass the resulting oxidizing material through a 100 mesh screen or finer. If you do not have isatoic anhydride, note that compounds such as the butylated aromatics like BHT can replace it as well as other stabilizing agents; though, alternatively, you may choose not to use a long-term storage stabilizer, in which case you would use 66% KClO₄. Once you have your oxidizer processed, set it aside, and mill your whistle fuel with the required quantity of red gum and yellow iron oxide. Finally, add all the processed dry chemicals together to your mixing apparatus. You may choose to screen the mixture dry once or twice to make everything as homogeneous as possible. Nonetheless, when ready, add the required amount of methyl salicylate to an equivalent measurement by-weight of your solvent, then kneed the resulting liquid into your propellant until a smooth yellow dough is formed. Finally, granulate your propellant and allow it to dry on craft or wax paper until the smell of your solvent is mostly gone, and all you smell is the methyl salicylate. This indicates the completion of your propellant manufacturing procedure, as you now have successfully obtained WoW propellant. Ensure to use appropriate caution when launching rockets made with it possessing lighter payloads, as they will travel at exceptionally high speeds.
@ToooManyHobbies It is simply due to the fact that yellow iron oxide is a more powerful propellant catalyst than red iron oxide by a significant margin when integrated in conjunction with salicylate salts. The material is a type of ferric hydroxide, and it’s much less expensive than some other widely used specialized catalysts like copper chromite. If you get yellow iron oxide from the correct retailers, it won’t be inappropriately expensive to obtain.
Yes, it most certainly is. However, unfortunately, this video needed to be uploaded on significantly short notice at the time. I, therefore, had no chance to edit it to the better liking of me and my audience - nonetheless, I apologize.

@@NagashiChidorii Methyl salicylate can be purchased on AmazonⓇ, including many other places, such as eBayⓇ or EtsyⓇ. Isatoic anhydride, if you wish to seek it, can be obtained from HiMedia or through one of their partners.
I was in a pinch and didn’t grab my best lighter due to temporarily misplacing it at the time. The stars lined up against me in this regard at the time. It won’t happen again, though. That’s for sure.
Quick question, I'm very low on acetone for crackle starts but got plenty of NC, do I really need acetone? If I do need it, can I use a different solvent as a sub?
Acetone ❲dimethyl ketone › [DMK]❳ can be substituted with Butanone ❲methyl ethyl ketone › [MEK]❳ as the thining solvent for the manufacture of crackling stars. These solvents ❲acetone/DMK and/or butanone/MEK❳ are used to dilute the NC lacquer you use, thinning it out, giving you more working time with the crackle star dough before it hardens. Yes, you CAN just use NC lacquer on its own, but you will need to use more of it and then proceed to process the stars faster as the composition will harden sooner. Dragon eggs made this way are just as high quality as the ones made with acetone or butanone, or the ones created with self-made nitrocellulose lacquer.
The more nitrocellulose lacquer you implement, the more audible the reporting nature of the final explosive thermite reaction of the cracke star will be. *However, there exists a limit. ⚠️* It will begin reporting in a less powerful manner if the percentage by weight of NC exceeds 2Ƽ%. Therefore, the range of 1Ƽ% to 2Ƽ% final NC content in the NEQ of the composition is most optimum for the most advantageous and promising results to be attained. _⚡️_
It depends on which whistle fuel you use. Oxychloride makes the most powerful whistle repellent when you use it with sodium benzoate. The whistle made from sodium salicylate and Cu oxychloride isn’t far behind either, nor the mix made with it and potassium benzoate or potassium hydrogen phthalate ❲KHP❳. As far as their storage stability goes before the propellant’s combustion characteristics become unpredictable and unreliable, the answer is detailed and based on several important factors to consider. The potassium salts are more stable with oxychloride due to their affinity for moisture being less extensive, although they possess slightly less specific impulse ❲propellant “ISP” which is its subsequent ‘service performance’ in the motors made❳. The main enemy of copper oxychloride-catalyzed whistle propellents is moisture. Yes, atmospheric humidity is your nemesis and can quickly degrade your composition in these contexts. Therefore, it is imperative to properly store your completed whistle motors catalyzed with oxychloride. They should be sealed off at the fuse end with HVAC aluminium tape and kept in a cool, low-humidity environment. The motors made with oxychloride x sodium salts can be stored for around 4 months this way, whereas the motors made with oxychloride x potassium salts can be stored for roughly around twice as long, ≈ 8 months. Keep in mind that these storage-ability values only apply when the whistle mix propellant is prepared in an environment with ≤ Ƽ0% humidity and kept this way in proper storage after being completely sealed of with the HVAC tape. While oxychloride with the potassium salts offers slightly less performance, as far as there benefits in storage go, they are my preference with oxychloride if they are to be fired at a later date > 4 months in the future.
Are there major differences noticed between using a 70/30 ratio (70- potassium perchlorate/30- 5413H German Blackhead) then to your method of use ? Also how much more volatile does the flash composition become when using your method of 60/20/10/10
The major differences are power output, deep-spectrum audio output, light output, and overpressure. These values are much higher in my composition, and make 70∶30 seem like child’s play.
The sensitivity of this formulation is slightly more than 70∶30. To impact and friction, due to the sulfur content included. However, the sensitivity is negligible, and many kilograms of it can be safely mixed at a time.
@@tucansam3417 Typically, 200g - 400g. For the “‘average”’ project, where I don’t need craploads upon craploads of flash, like you saw in this video. However, yes, I did mix this batch all at once. It’s safe and good to go. ✅️
Yeah, you and I aren’t the only ones who have noticed this. The whistle sound emitted during the delay stages of whistle rockets can be sensitive to sounding different depending on several factors. These include attributes such as how hard you press it, the weight of the increments, the effects you add to it before pressing its increments, and the combusting proximity to the final explosive effect of your rocket’s heading composition. This final eventuality occurs due to the fact that, depending on the composition of the internal active payload, some of it may burn with the final increment of whistle before causing the main quantity to initiate, making for a moment in which the whistling noise broadcasted by the final delay increment more intensive in nature, as it combusts in unison with the composition of the payload for a short period before everything goes supercritical and BOOM, the rocket transitions into its respective display effect and explodes accordingly.
Very nice rocket . I was surprised that it could lift such a large payload . Very nice salute also . You could invest in a cigar lighter with a blue flame or a plumbing torch --- either is more reliable than those cheap butane fire starters . Butane lighters from the grocery store are very unreliable . Like I said your rocket and flash bomb are very impressive .
Thank you for your kind comment, I know exactly what you mean when it comes to lighters and stuff. I have, thankfully, since invested in better sources of ignition.
Why is it almost every fireworks launch no matter the channel...the lighter doesn't work? Get a mini torch....or a BBQ lighter. Now that I've mentione dit you will see hw often it happens LOL!
I have good torches. I was just in a pinch when I had to film this test. Also, yeah, I totally know what you mean about most other pyros having lighter problems too.
Didn’t have time to spike or paste this one. Video does zero justice, especially in this case, compared to how it was in person. I was deaf for around 2 minutes afterward. Also, I forgot to mention that the flash in the heading was initiated with a detonator comprised of silver azide and PETN. This would’ve disabled potential blowout, as flash powders violently combust via the CJ plane when detonated. They would otherwise, in most cases, just deflagrate when initiated by conventional means.
The stick was made of heavy-duty fiber glass, and it alone weighed 200 grams. It survived the massive report charge due to the fact that it was made of fiber glass, for had it been wood, it would have been reduced to toothpicks. Also, if the stick was made out of wood, it would’ve needed to be much larger in order to properly ballance the rocket’s center of mass. Regarding the rocket not reaching a high altitude, which is obvious; you aren’t familiar with the objective of this video. You need to watch all 4 previous videos in my “Whistle of Wintergreen” series to get the gist of what led up to this. The purpose of this video was to illustrate the capabilities that the Whistle of Wintergreen propellant can achieve with a 1lb motor ONLY. Obviously, a 3lb motor would have permitted the rocket to achieve a higher altitude, but this was NOT THE OBJECTIVE. The objective of this project was to show the ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE LIMITS of a 1lb whistle rocket to my fellow propellant engineering team that this video was made for. This rocket with a 1.4kg heading is NOT intended to be replicated for use in a PROFESSIONAL SETTING unless a 3lb ot 6lb motor is used.

@@ShortFuseMan thank you!! where do you get methyl salicylate and the isatoic?
@@NagashiChidorii
Methyl salicylate can be purchased on AmazonⓇ, including many other places, such as eBayⓇ or EtsyⓇ. Isatoic anhydride, if you wish to seek it, can be obtained from HiMedia or through one of their partners.
@@ShortFuseMan thank you! Whats the effectiveness of the isatoic for storage? Does it make the comp less hygroscopic or is hydroscopic totally gone?
Where can I get one?

When you can't even get your lighter to run, it's a bad start.
I was in a pinch and didn’t grab my best lighter due to temporarily misplacing it at the time. The stars lined up against me in this regard at the time. It won’t happen again, though. That’s for sure.
what are the odds of the stick landing back where it started?? 😂

Very low! The odds of that happening again are the same odds that I would win the lottery!! 😂

Hi . Sorry . What are the components of rocket fuel ?
*Check my reply* to the *pinned comment* here. 🤟
nice
Quick question, I'm very low on acetone for crackle starts but got plenty of NC, do I really need acetone? If I do need it, can I use a different solvent as a sub?
Acetone ❲dimethyl ketone › [DMK]❳ can be substituted with Butanone ❲methyl ethyl ketone › [MEK]❳ as the thining solvent for the manufacture of crackling stars. These solvents ❲acetone/DMK and/or butanone/MEK❳ are used to dilute the NC lacquer you use, thinning it out, giving you more working time with the crackle star dough before it hardens. Yes, you CAN just use NC lacquer on its own, but you will need to use more of it and then proceed to process the stars faster as the composition will harden sooner. Dragon eggs made this way are just as high quality as the ones made with acetone or butanone, or the ones created with self-made nitrocellulose lacquer.
@@ShortFuseMan Perfect. I actually prefer the faster drying time with NC alone and heard that more NC will make a louder pop on crackle.
@@ShortFuseMan thanks for the reply. 👍
The more nitrocellulose lacquer you implement, the more audible the reporting nature of the final explosive thermite reaction of the cracke star will be. *However, there exists a limit. ⚠️* It will begin reporting in a less powerful manner if the percentage by weight of NC exceeds 2Ƽ%. Therefore, the range of 1Ƽ% to 2Ƽ% final NC content in the NEQ of the composition is most optimum for the most advantageous and promising results to be attained. _⚡️_
@ShortFuseMan Noted. On my way back to finish the prime and will do a flame test to show the improved result later.
How long are you able to store oxichloride whistle before it becomes unsafe?
It depends on which whistle fuel you use. Oxychloride makes the most powerful whistle repellent when you use it with sodium benzoate. The whistle made from sodium salicylate and Cu oxychloride isn’t far behind either, nor the mix made with it and potassium benzoate or potassium hydrogen phthalate ❲KHP❳. As far as their storage stability goes before the propellant’s combustion characteristics become unpredictable and unreliable, the answer is detailed and based on several important factors to consider. The potassium salts are more stable with oxychloride due to their affinity for moisture being less extensive, although they possess slightly less specific impulse ❲propellant “ISP” which is its subsequent ‘service performance’ in the motors made❳. The main enemy of copper oxychloride-catalyzed whistle propellents is moisture. Yes, atmospheric humidity is your nemesis and can quickly degrade your composition in these contexts. Therefore, it is imperative to properly store your completed whistle motors catalyzed with oxychloride. They should be sealed off at the fuse end with HVAC aluminium tape and kept in a cool, low-humidity environment. The motors made with oxychloride x sodium salts can be stored for around 4 months this way, whereas the motors made with oxychloride x potassium salts can be stored for roughly around twice as long, ≈ 8 months. Keep in mind that these storage-ability values only apply when the whistle mix propellant is prepared in an environment with ≤ Ƽ0% humidity and kept this way in proper storage after being completely sealed of with the HVAC tape. While oxychloride with the potassium salts offers slightly less performance, as far as there benefits in storage go, they are my preference with oxychloride if they are to be fired at a later date > 4 months in the future.
@@ShortFuseMan I'm using KHP, in a dehumidified environment, (10%>) thanks for such a detailed response
*Any Time*@@HenrikSherwood
Are there major differences noticed between using a 70/30 ratio (70- potassium perchlorate/30- 5413H German Blackhead) then to your method of use ? Also how much more volatile does the flash composition become when using your method of 60/20/10/10
The major differences are power output, deep-spectrum audio output, light output, and overpressure. These values are much higher in my composition, and make 70∶30 seem like child’s play.
The sensitivity of this formulation is slightly more than 70∶30. To impact and friction, due to the sulfur content included. However, the sensitivity is negligible, and many kilograms of it can be safely mixed at a time.
@@ShortFuseManinteresting, looks like I’ll have to give that a try next time I make some flash, how much do you mix at a time ?
@@tucansam3417
Typically, 200g - 400g. For the “‘average”’ project, where I don’t need craploads upon craploads of flash, like you saw in this video. However, yes, I did mix this batch all at once. It’s safe and good to go. ✅️
@@ShortFuseMannoice I’ll have to order some sulfur & magalu on my next chem buy, does the purity of the mag have to be a certain mesh ?
At the end the the whistle quivers, what could cause that?
Yeah, you and I aren’t the only ones who have noticed this. The whistle sound emitted during the delay stages of whistle rockets can be sensitive to sounding different depending on several factors. These include attributes such as how hard you press it, the weight of the increments, the effects you add to it before pressing its increments, and the combusting proximity to the final explosive effect of your rocket’s heading composition. This final eventuality occurs due to the fact that, depending on the composition of the internal active payload, some of it may burn with the final increment of whistle before causing the main quantity to initiate, making for a moment in which the whistling noise broadcasted by the final delay increment more intensive in nature, as it combusts in unison with the composition of the payload for a short period before everything goes supercritical and BOOM, the rocket transitions into its respective display effect and explodes accordingly.
were you buem rockets
MEGA
were you buem large rockets
Echo ((((((((((💥))))))))))
Very nice rocket . I was surprised that it could lift such a large payload . Very nice salute also . You could invest in a cigar lighter with a blue flame or a plumbing torch --- either is more reliable than those cheap butane fire starters . Butane lighters from the grocery store are very unreliable . Like I said your rocket and flash bomb are very impressive .
Thank you for your kind comment, I know exactly what you mean when it comes to lighters and stuff. I have, thankfully, since invested in better sources of ignition.
You might want to invest in a torch
Why is it almost every fireworks launch no matter the channel...the lighter doesn't work? Get a mini torch....or a BBQ lighter. Now that I've mentione dit you will see hw often it happens LOL!
I have good torches. I was just in a pinch when I had to film this test. Also, yeah, I totally know what you mean about most other pyros having lighter problems too.
No talking at the end I think he couldn’t hear himself lol not enough lift bro but super nasssttty 🤮 rocket

Alotta flash blow out, seal them better you'll get waaaay more sound
Didn’t have time to spike or paste this one. Video does zero justice, especially in this case, compared to how it was in person. I was deaf for around 2 minutes afterward. Also, I forgot to mention that the flash in the heading was initiated with a detonator comprised of silver azide and PETN. This would’ve disabled potential blowout, as flash powders violently combust via the CJ plane when detonated. They would otherwise, in most cases, just deflagrate when initiated by conventional means.
@@ShortFuseMan gotcha

Your poor ears! That was impressive for a 1lb rocket motor
Superbly impressive, to be honest. I have yet to see anyone else push them this far. The magic is all in the propellant.
you could have thrown it higher.
First of of the flimsiest stick I ever seen and needed more fuel. Went off to close to the ground
The stick was made of heavy-duty fiber glass, and it alone weighed 200 grams. It survived the massive report charge due to the fact that it was made of fiber glass, for had it been wood, it would have been reduced to toothpicks. Also, if the stick was made out of wood, it would’ve needed to be much larger in order to properly ballance the rocket’s center of mass.
Regarding the rocket not reaching a high altitude, which is obvious; you aren’t familiar with the objective of this video. You need to watch all 4 previous videos in my “Whistle of Wintergreen” series to get the gist of what led up to this. The purpose of this video was to illustrate the capabilities that the Whistle of Wintergreen propellant can achieve with a 1lb motor ONLY. Obviously, a 3lb motor would have permitted the rocket to achieve a higher altitude, but this was NOT THE OBJECTIVE. The objective of this project was to show the ABSOLUTE PERFORMANCE LIMITS of a 1lb whistle rocket to my fellow propellant engineering team that this video was made for. This rocket with a 1.4kg heading is NOT intended to be replicated for use in a PROFESSIONAL SETTING unless a 3lb ot 6lb motor is used.
Your rocket is awesome, your logistics and cinematography....... not so much.
