Rooster Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Engager: Here go some yellows by me and Rip. There are not many of them, because yellow fire is easily produced by everyone. Compositions here are the ones that might be for some reasons interesting to look. Enjoy and comment Name of composition: Engager's Yellow Ray #1Composition Type: Colored fireCreator: EngagerColor/Effect: YellowThe Composition: (by weight) Sodium perchlorate - 81.6%Orange shellac powder - 18.4% Any Precautions/Incompatabilities: None.Precedure/Preparation: Bind with alcohol, protect from moisture.

I see you have Lithium Perchlorate. If you have Hexamine, you should be able to make a nice simple 2-part strobe formula. I can dig up the ratios for you if you want. I'd love to hear how well it works if you have the Hexamine at hand to try it out. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ engager: Yes, i made lithium perchlorate by myself by the reaction of NH4ClO4 with lithium carbonate. If you want a procedure, ask for it in general chemistry => perchlorates topic. Send the formula you've mentioned to me by a personal message or post it here. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
