While looking at the <a href="http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Atrium/4758/index.html" target="_blank">E.P.I.D</a> page, I came across a recipie for Benzolift. I wanted to know more info, so I did a search for it on the search engine here and it turned up nothing. Even googe, lycos, and altavista turned up nothing.

Seems a little suspicious.....

Does anybody have more info/experience with this elusive compound?

I never bother using any BP in it, but KClO3/Na Benzoate burns FAST. KClO4 would be safer if you can find it.
So yes, it works, 65:35 is good.

Thanks.

Ill try it with KCL03.

.....oh yeah, should it be dry mixed by weight? or use the EPIDS "soup mixing" method.

I just weigh out the chems and mix it on a sheet of paper. It works very well, although wetting and corning it would work better if you can be bothered.

Without the green meal it's your everyday whistle mix. Good for end burning, nozzleless rocket motors and an organic replacement for flash in bursting charges.

Its quite powerfull stuff. I filled a 3" long .5" diameter tube that only had one end cap which was 1 layer of tape with benzolift and light the fuse. BOOM!

I was quite impressed. I wasnt even expecting it to explode!
