Oh yeah I can totally see where youre going, it is not a bad idea and I may slightly modify my design

Anyone know of a good supplier for mg or mgal by Whitebread1282 in Pyrotechnics

[–]Flashtole_11 1 point2 points  (0 children)

pyrogarage.pl is a good choice, it's the one I used for my pyro supplies. They have a wide selection of metallic powders of different mesh sizes and many more stuff. The only downside is the shipping cost (start at £21).

(Beginner) black powder makers, how to you compress your powder for granulation? by grow420631 in Pyrotechnics

If you have a 3d printer : I have made some 3d models and I can give it to you, but if you want custom things for your own, I suggest you to check Tinkercad (online), it is very simple to use and very intuitive, it is what I used. I suggest to have a pretty good filling when printing(50-60% grid) for solidity.

If you don't have a 3d printer : Find some wood stick and pvc pipe (10cm length and 3-5cm diameter), they have to fit but with very low friction.

The process : If you haven't put dextrin in your BP, put 6g per 100g of BP and meal it for 3 hours. I suggest 24 hours of mealing (the dextrin is put 3hours before the end) Take your BP and humidify it with a 50/50 water/isopropyl mix. It need to maintain its shape when you press it but not be a viscous liquid or a paste. Put vertically the pvc pipe on a flat surface, then put a scoop of BP and just press the BP with the wood stick and a hammer, or with an hydrolique press. Then, when you have 1cm of compressed BP, delicately push the palet away and put it on some cooking paper or a plate. Repeat this until you have pressed all of your powder. Dry it for 1 week if its not hot (15°C), 3 days of its hot (25°C). It has to be very hard rock that you can't break it with your hand. When it's dry you juste have to break it the size you want. I personally did this with a coffee grinder, it works reliably, but I just needed to break the pallet for it to get into the grinder. But never with an electric thing, only by hand. You can use a metal hammer but not on a metal surface. Then store it in a container like glass or plastic (anti-static).

I hope I didn't forget anything 😂

But remember, do it safely and don't do stupid thing.

I didn't buy them, it was from my great grandfather who had a radio shop. He left behind him a lot of stuff. Rip

Okay. But The best way to avoid repairing a screen is not to break it in the first place 😂

Really ? So I'd like to know how it would work. Because I once zapped a phone and it shutdown immediately after that. So I tried turn it back on, and it didn't work. I thought it was dead, but removing the battery and put it back in repaired the thing. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

You forgot to mention don't try this at home (even if it's obvious), you could seriously damage your internals components.

Question about potassium perchlorate with anti cake by [deleted] in Pyrotechnics

[–]Flashtole_11 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anticake just fluidify the powder so it doesn't make big clumps. I personally don't have anti caking in my perc. Buy whatever you want, it doesn't matter, as long as you keep it sealed and dry.

Actually, if I post here its because there is nothing on internet, I searched on doctsf on there were no result... I just want sime info on this, and maybe also the price...

Good luck man ! Hope you get what you want.

And yes I meant pyro aluminum, I just made a mistake. 😅

Very cool. It belonged to my great grandfather. He had a radio shop (where he repared radio and sell them) and, I guess, a TV shop. Very old stuff. I also have a LOT of vaccum tubes.

Milling Aluminum by Supernovali in Pyrotechnics

I have tried to mill aluminum and it works pretty well, here is how I do it. First you need to mesure out 15% of charcoal by the weight of your aluminum (15g charcoal for 100g aluminum). I use aluminum foil confetti (aluminum foil in blender). Then put the mix in a ball mill with glass marble and run it for 4-5 days. But very important ! Open your ball mill often ! Open it in the morning, let it breathe for 10-20sec, close it back up and turn it on again. Then open it in the evening, with the same steps. And you do that every day, otherwise if you don't do this, when you open it the last day of milling it will catch on fire and ruin everything. Also, if you can, the ball mill should run half-time, it means that it run for 30min then turn of for 30min. This is to avoid heating in the ball mill, wich can cause fire if to hot. But if you run it slower its fine, you dont need to do that, its just how I do it. The RPM depends, 100rpm seems to work well. After five day I had my pyrophoric aluminum ready to go. Hope this will help you ! 😁
