THEONE Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Has anybody try the kno3/al/s as a rocket fuel ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDUcZ5HoVuc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Most flash powders make poor rocket fuels due to the lack of gaseous products, and relatively high densities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEONE Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 In the Guipep this formula produce more Isp than kno3/sugar and BP rocket fuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Pressing slow flash at 9000psi doesn`t sound like a particularly good idea to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 That's not what I'd be worried about. Many flitter, white mag, and streamer stars are not much more than glorified flash powders. I know at least one person who has pressed a rocket full of 70/30. It didn't last long, but it's been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEONE Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Pressing slow flash at 9000psi doesn`t sound like a particularly good idea to me I do not think so that it will ignite with pressing, it is enough hard to ignite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) I find slow flash is as easy to light as bp. The video doesn`t give the comp or the type of aluminium used but its probably not dark flake or it would have gone up... in a flash Edited January 3, 2012 by Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
