Arthur Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 I'm looking for some smokeless lift, I looked at ammonpulver which looks good. Does anyone have real experience making and using small amounts as lift.Can it be milled -does it need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oinikis Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) it is extremaly slow, and super hard to ignite. i can't imagine how swiz and germans used it for cannons in 17-18 centuries. Edited May 12, 2013 by Oinikis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTUPyro Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 it is extremaly slow, and super hard to ignite. i can't imagine how swiz and germans used it for cannons in 17-18 centuries.Its something like smokless gunpowder, it burns slow, but then it's tightly contained it explodes. I don't think it's gonna work nice as lift since it needs very big compresion and it's highly hygroscopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 No, no, and NO! The only thing that could come close to smokeless lift, is smokeless powder, nitrocellulose. Then to top that off, it doesn't burn fast enough to shoot anything without proper confinement. It's just not going to work in a pyro application.

zAZO9a Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 it needs thermic ignition. it was used in first world war as a replace ment for black powder...it was used for arttillery shells .which are fired as any shell is..it usually had a little bp mixed with it to help with ignition ...it can be detonated and is considered as an high explosive...many people have tried but as far as i know no one has found a use for it in fireworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
