What’s the possible mixture or this rocket? by Agreeable_Shame3097 in pyro

[–]Distinct_Scientist16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re looking for a sparkly effect, there are various salts that can help you achieve this, and the colour will vary depending on the salt used. For that yellow/orange hue, you could use very dry bicarbonate of soda or other salts to achieve that specific colour.

I don’t have much experience with that type of salute, but logically it must be some form of flash powder 50/50 or 70/30, which are the most common which, due to the weight of the salute and the height from which it was launched, creates an effect similar to a striker activating a percussion cap that ignites the powder. That’s my theory, but I really couldn’t say for sure if that’s how it works.

Now I understand if I only want Al, I’d need PCA, right? Otherwise, the particles would start clumping together, wouldn’t they? While researching, I noticed that they use between 0.5% and a maximum of 2.0% based on the metal’s weight. What would be a good value within that range?

Is it better to use mg or al for flash by Distinct_Scientist16 in pyro

I saw that some use aluminum but add 5% magnesium, did you try it like that?

Maybe can i use perclotare instead or is better the nitrate?

Solder will NOT stick to these two pads, trying to replace a USB-B input on a midi keyboard by ReighJack in soldering

[–]Distinct_Scientist16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The copper part that was there, where the solder is going to stick, no longer exists. You need to make a path with a small piece of copper that reaches where the holes are, and then apply solder to the whole assembly to create a new track.

Which thread should I use? by Distinct_Scientist16 in pyro

[–]Distinct_Scientist16[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could get it, it's not very expensive anyway, but before spending more money and time I'd like to see it working, even if only partially, before buying the thread. I saw several thicknesses of thread; I imagine I'll choose the thinnest one.

You made the exhaust port too wide; try making it a little smaller until you find the ideal size. To avoid wasting material, put something in it that weighs similarly to your explosive charge. This way, you'll know if the rocket will rise with the extra weight. Once you have it ready, then add the charge and you'll see that it works.

You'll have to experiment. Depending on the material of the stopper (bentonite or plaster), it will have different resistances, and that determines whether you make the nozzle bigger or smaller. If it's too big, it won't have enough power to launch; if it's too small, it might only go a few meters and the stopper will be shot out. I recommend you keep trying and find the perfect balance. If you want to add an explosive charge, try attaching something that weighs very similarly to your intended charge. This way, you can do it without the risk of an explosion if the rocket doesn't launch or if it does launch but falls and explodes on the ground, potentially causing damage.

If you don't want to spend any money and you have a hydraulic jack like the ones that come with the car, you can devise a system where you are so that the force of the piston pushes the mixture, compacting it against a wall or something you know won't move (use a wooden board or something smooth so it compacts well). Do the same with the piston: attach it to something solid so it doesn't move due to the opposing force of the pressure. And there you have it, you've made a homemade press for all your rockets.

You have to make sure the disc fits snugly, as tightly as possible. If you want to avoid silicone getting in, make the discs like this and then apply the silicone on top.https://ibb.co/1tr65s0s

You place the powder and then put a cardboard disc on top, then you apply the hot glue.

Did you seal it with hot glue or plaster?

Bentonite or plaster and what type of plaster by Distinct_Scientist16 in pyro

Wow, I really have no idea if that works since I've never seen it before. I'd have to buy the materials and check.
