superspike23 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) hi, http://youtu.be/k_9k1En3jf8 I just made a lot of stars based on lithium carbonate. I replaced strontium with lithium. I find the color beautiful. here is the formula I use: Potassium chlorate 70 Lithium carbonate 15 redgum 10 charcoal 1 dextrin 4 I know that stars with chlorates should not be in contact with sulfur. I ask myself how to use sulfur-free meals. I could use the h3 for the bursting charge. But for safety I prefer an insulating layer. I could use a load-based black powder in this way Edited August 10, 2012 by superspike23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potassiumchlorate Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I find it a bit pinkish, but I have also made stars with lithium carbonate. I think it's pretty OK at low temperatures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspike23 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I dusted these stars with the following composition: kno3 35charcoal 25kclo4 35dextrin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspike23 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 I just tried a new formula changed to lithium carbonate. It is of purple stars: Here is the video with the composition http://youtu.be/sQqVd9bu294 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The end looked very purple. I've always been pretty critical of lithium stars, but they looked good. If you ever try them in the air, I'd be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potassiumchlorate Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I stressed on the UKPS board already a couple of years ago that you can use lithium instead of strontium in purple stars and have a very good result. Lithium on its own is a bit harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purple stars. is unclear, I will try in a shell. http://youtu.be/CnDNKvxc_uw Edited August 12, 2012 by superspike23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
