Ammonipulver

[A-BOMB]

I made some Ammonipulver with the Makshift Arsenal method of 4 parts AN to 1 part charcoal. Well it doesn't burn so I've was hoping that someone here may have a better formula for it? And by the way does any one know when the PFP is going to be back up again?

the formula by mass is:

80% NH4NO3
20% Charcoal

it doesn't burn particualarly fast but it burns almost smokeless and quite hot. although the stuff i made was very bad quality.

Kingspaz, by mass you mean weight. And my batch that I made when I when to light it it would just melt :confused: and sputter out a flame every once and a while and even then I would have to hold the match to it constantly.

I remember someone saying this comp. doesn't burn well under normal atmospheric conditions. Maybe the AN isn't dry as well. Make a salute out of some and a stong container, that would raise the pressure dramaticly, and up the burn rate of the remaining powder.

As long as you're both on the surface of the same planet, mass and weight are interchangeable. :D

Ive heard of ppl having all sorts of problems with AN+newspaper smoke bombs. Either it does jack shit, or the newspaper burns and not the an, all sorts of stuff.

Maybe if u powdered the ingredients a lot, then mixed it in water, and confined it in a strong tube, and added a small amount of another oxidiser, KNO3 or something. I didnt think NH4NO3 oxidised well? And i have a lot of trouble trying to get C to light.
