The information in the following file is for entertainment
|
|
purposes only. This stuff DOES work, but we are not telling you
|
|
to do it. You are responsible for your own actions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ok, first you need the chemicals, you can get them from a
|
|
chemical supply house or from a message sent to me on this system
|
|
from any interested person that wants to buy them a lot cheaper
|
|
than the supply house will sell them to you for.
|
|
Just send a message to Phil Rudd on Board #4 and please make it Private.
|
|
Ok, now the chemicals consist of:
|
|
1.sulphur (yellow powdered)
|
|
2.powdered aluminum- alcoa#422 (400 mesh or higher)
|
|
3.potassium chlorate- chunky
|
|
The Tubes (Cardboard, and appropriate size for m-80's or m-100's or
|
|
whatever size you want.)
|
|
And you need sometning to plug the ends. (Like hot glue or Bondo)
|
|
Fuse. (obtainable from hobby shop. Rocket Fuse)
|
|
|
|
|
|
To start, Plug one end of the tube with hot glue or bondo. Put 2 or 3
|
|
small cotton balls in the end or 1 large one. This will hole the glue
|
|
or bondo in place, and absorb any moisture while in the tude.
|
|
When the end of the tube you sealed is dry, Poke a hole in the middle of
|
|
the tube that is just big enough to push the wick in.
|
|
Ok, now cut a piece of wick to put in the hole you just made.
|
|
A good size wick is 2" for m-80's and 5" for m-500
|
|
Now for the powder mixture. Follow this EXACTLY as I have stated.
|
|
or you might be sorry. I have made these countless times and never
|
|
had an accident so here it goes!
|
|
|
|
Get a plactic container and a PLASTIC spoon. No Metal!!! Pour
|
|
4 parts by volume or 2 parts by weight of the potassium chlorate
|
|
Crush it with a plastic spoon, then add 8 part by volume
|
|
or 1 part by weight of the powdered aluminum and mix
|
|
together then add the sulpher 3 parts volume or 1 part by weight
|
|
and mix all together now you have the famed SILVER POWDER
|
|
that they use in m80s and firecrackers.
|
|
Now, take the powder and fill the open ends of the tubes. Then
|
|
Put a small ball of cotton in the open end and seal it like you did
|
|
before.
|
|
Don't worry, if you use hot glue, it will not ignite the powder.
|
|
|
|
You now have a real m-80 or whatever you made. (like, if you use an
|
|
oatmeal box, you have an m-3000 or something!)
|
|
|
|
A few cautions follow:
|
|
|
|
(1) Never smoke around the powder, even if it is not mixed
|
|
yet.
|
|
(2) Never make large amounts. A good amount for each batch is
|
|
about a Cigar box full.
|
|
(3) Never use any metal spoons or metal bowls. They could set
|
|
off the mixture when you are mixing it.
|
|
(4) Never plug the ends with any sharp or Extremely hard
|
|
material. Bondo is sometimes dangerous because the ends
|
|
fly out a high velocity and can act like bullets! Windows
|
|
have been broken by flying bondo!
|
|
|
|
I usually use tubes that are 4 inches long and have a 1 inch
|
|
inside diameter. The cardbaord sghoule be relatively thick if you
|
|
want a good noise. Toilet paper tubes are too thin. The cardboard
|
|
on a 4" X 1" tube should be 1/16 - 1/8 of an inch thick.
|
|
|
|
Good luck and don't blow your hands off, or you won't be able
|
|
to call this sytem and type anything!!
