Welcome. I have a minor interest in launch systems. Honestly..I prefer to light them. But I know a bit of electronics and it is fascinating. And Blake..the Trinity being 75-15-10?

Darkonez Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi all. Thank you for letting me join the group! Been into pyro for about 6 months! Reading a lot watching a lot and practicing a little at a time. Ive found a new respect for fire since starting so not rushing a thing. Ive joined for the information and hopefully some help when needed. Have a ball mill have the means to make good items and due to do actual lift tests soon. So hello to all.

Richtee Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hi all. Thank you for letting me join the group! Been into pyro for about 6 months!

Ive joined for the information and hopefully some help when needed. Have a ball mill have the means to make good items and due to do actual lift tests soon. So hello to all.Pretty standard lift testing is done with a 3” tube and a hardball. Good powder would give you 8-10 second flight time and be in the 12-14 gram amount range. Serviceable...15-20 grams. Also, it would not leave a crapload of dross in the tube. Dross being leftover unburnt stuff Welcome, and be careful!

Rhy650 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Hello All, I'm happy to be on here, thanks to whoever approved my account! I got into this hobby a few months ago by purchasing a 4oz sugar rocket kit from Skylighter. That was so much fun I had to try black powder rockets - turns out those are a good time, too! I am a chronic tinkerer and have had just as much fun making my own tooling on the lathe and a ball mill. Would like to try some smoke compositions and some small headings for the rockets next, but am taking it very slow. My biggest motivation for getting on this site is to learn more about best safety practices. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrownBiscuit Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Welcome, there is a tremendous amount of safety information available here posted by some of the members. For my own two cents, I'd say just keep in mind that as you scale up geometrically the hazard rating scales exponentially. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
