PyroAce Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) These rockets are impressive as it is, but the glitter stars at 2:38 are perfect! Does anyone know the formula? Looks like he got the right amount of water when making them, they twinkle for ages! Edited June 24, 2012 by PyroAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 These rockets are impressive as it is, but the glitter stars at 2:38 are perfect! Does anyone know the formula? Looks like he got the right amount of water when making them, they twinkle for ages! Chemical Name: Parts: Weigh: Barium Nitrate 51 Sulfur 22 Magnalium, granular, -100 mesh 15 Potassium Nitrate 7 Dextrin 5 Tare: Total: 100 NOTES:Based upon Bleser's White strobe, with an increase in Sulfur and a decrease in MgAl. Specced "64% 200 mesh 36% 100 mesh" for the MgAl gradation. Additional tips included cutting to 1/4" but no larger, prime with BP, they light easily. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a glitter effect, not a strobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagabu Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 So it is! I don't know if I have the one that he used though, it could be either D-1 or 39-J but mine do not look like that, they twinkle more and with smaller flashes. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vh718 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 pretty sure the comp is tremelon, but it might be 39-J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producing glitter and strobe like flashes of gold before it burns out. If it is not this particular formula...it is 19 or 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyco_1322 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 That shell in the video is not Win20, and Win20 is not like D1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroAce Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 Thank you everyone for the replies, I am really keen on finding out precisley which formula it is, it's one of the best gitters I have seen, the hang time is amazing, and they are very bright stars. Would anyone know the maker of these rockets in the video, is he a member in any of the organizations or on any forums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
californiapyro Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) That's one of TR's rockets, and it looks a lot like Jerry Taylor's tremalon formula. Edited June 27, 2012 by californiapyro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bcorso85 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 I'm going through a glitter phase right now and I've been playing around with alot of glitters. The gold glitters are really a bronze color like the one you have showed us. Its damn close. Here is a you tube of Winokur 20. For a longer dealy add more Sodium Bicarbonate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAIJU7fEgwc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
