Zumber Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 He has already tried velines orange star formula and he need other formulas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireBirdHank Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I didn't realize electric orange was only a slight variation of Velines orange. Sorry, that's all I've got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I will come out and say it. I hate calcium oranges. They just look dirty to me. I've had good luck with the following formula, as well as optical oranges. Optical oranges are created by mixing red and green emitters to get an orange color. Independence TangerineStrontium Nitrate - 42MgAl (-200mesh) - 12Parlon - 9Saran - 9Red Gum - 8Potassium Perchlorate - 10Sodium Oxalate - 10Dextrin + 5 For optical oranges, I take a formula set that has barium nitrate and strontium nitrate interchanged, such as Ruby Red and Emerald Green (http://www.amateurpyro.com/forums/topic/2192-ruby-red-and-emerald-green/) and just use a blend of strontium nitrate and barium nitrate instead. You can make every color on the spectrum from green to red this way. For a nice yellow I've been using 61% barium nitrate and 39% strontium nitrate (55:35 as per Lloyd Sponnenburgh's suggestion). For orange I had been using 50:50, but I've been leaning toward more of a 45:55 split. You can adjust to suit your preferences of hue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddewees Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sorry to stray off topic, but mumbles do you know the ratios for an optical blue using Barium Nitrate and Strontium Nitrate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 There isn't one. This color spectrum is probably more accurate than what you usually see as a color wheel, which has green and red opposite, as opposed to 120 degrees apart as they are in reality when dealing with light. You can make everything between red and green. To make a blue, you'd have to have a cyan and purple colored star. http://asmartbear.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/RGB-wheel1.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumbles Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 That's just the way it is. Probably to adjust burn rate. It is a commercial formula, so things like that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
