Pyrodex is a volume for volume substitute not weight for weight as a rule of thumb you can weigh black powder but you need to use a volumetric measuring tools for substitutes. Pyrodex uses potassium perchlorate it’s actually harder to ignite than real black powder especially in things like flintlocks.

I hope you cleaned between shots, or you will have been trying to shoot the more difficult powders with the most fouled gun. A look at a spit patch after each shot would have been useful info too. BTW A screw in ball puller is a hand tool slimmer that the ramrod. Why would you need a workshop? Personally I'd carry a silenced large calibre FAC air rifle, with spare screw on bottles, Katana, and a spear.

If this were for a remake of Independence Day in LEGO, this would be a perfect shot

The guy does not say a word while making the rocket, not to good for total newcomers or anyone really. There are better videos of the making portion were people say something! His burning portion of the video is good however.

Do you need a license for that

In that the 12-pounder Napoleon has a bore almost exactly 3", one is led to believe that this is/was an 18-pounder naval gun, and 3 pounds of powder would be right for a full combat load. The over-size touch-hole further suggests a naval gun, in that hitting the priming charge with a linstock and slow-match could be hard on a heeling deck. NOW-- if you Really want a "huge cannon," find yourself a 36 or 42-pounder, using around 10 pounds of black powder for the charge.

Nice slow motion burn DIY BP rocket motor video. Shock compression waves are clealy visible during the burn. Next time try R-Candy fuel with Aluminium powder/ Iron Oxide powder catalyzed 4:3 ration for effect. Just change the core and pour. Graphite/ Graphene Concrete works best for nozzle and plugs. You will be impressed and might need a filter from the brightness of the burn. ❤

Yes, just what i wanted

Doesn’t look like it generated much thrust. The mount didn’t even wiggle. I’m currently figuring out what needs to change to generate more thrust - mixing for longer, smaller particle sizes, charcoal from different sources, and more pressure when compacting. I’m turning a bottle jack into a hydraulic press to help.

you can do it at home, first make Armstrong's mixture add some fine sand or glass powder then encase in clay, let clay air harden

Great job! That really was some SUPER SLOW MO lol! Maybe a little too slow lol. But very cool!

then it just needs a nozzle to increase thrust? or does the ?clay? act as a nozzle?

That was awesome. I hope you stood a ways off when using a PVC casing like that. It would probably be safer with rolled paper, but then you couldn't see it burn.

Nice!

Flash powder might be fine in the pan of a flintlock if it will light. Strontium nitrate will make the flash red, as in #1. That next to last shot likely clogged your flash hole. There's a tool commonly used, a little straight pick for that.

I tried making rocket Mine became a literal pipe bomb

Esta pólvora é de baixa qualidade!

Try to hit the chicken at the house.

My first guess for explosive ammo is armstrongs mixture, however there are other safer alternatives

....so this is how the queen died... (this is a joke!)

is it Phantom flex4k ??? is it in 1000fps

Hi

If you got matches you can make primers (Armstrong mix) , If you have primers you can load cartridges...

My Defender mk2 makes 62 fpe 600 fps 5000 psi HN grizzly. 357 smooth bore barrels

This is a really interesting video and it’s a good comparison between explosives powder I like it a lot

OK I do agree, but...first thing....people need to be aware that you cannot load smokeless powder in a muzzle loader and keep you hand intact.....that said.; I prefer the ability to have multiple shots available and a firearm that is fast to load....so, I have two 45-70 rifles, one long rifle,, and a carbine. 45-70 is an easy to load straight wall cartridge that wil use either smokeless or black powder, I can load mine for everything from small game to moose and bear....the brass pretty much lasts forever with BP loads, primers can be punched out and refilled with cap powder or home made fulminate., and you get better accuracy plus a follow up shote doesn't take a minute to relorad. Oh I also have a pair of Colt SAA clones....also a straight wall cartridge that you can load with either powder. .

Black powder works better when confined. I build bow-powered RPGs using a scored (similar to a fragmeentary grenade) turned aluminum casing filled with black powder and threaded to accept a custom manufactured interface coupling, which holds a center-fire ballistic cap and threads over the outside of a hollow carbon-fiber arrow or bolt (for use with crossbow) and holds a pointed 6" drill stem, which slides freely. Upon I mpact, momentum throws the pin into the cap, the cap ignites the black powder and it'll blow the door off a car!

I appreciate the sentiment here, when the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around. My YT page is limited but what Im demonstrating are cast bullets, properlled with homemade powders, and reloaded primers. It is worthy to study the chemistry of modern BP substitutes, these approach smokeless powder and are far easier to make. The primer compound i prefer is Dynamit Nobel's SINOXID but -FA-70 is a good choice and low tech. If helps if you are a chemist

Black powder comes in four types. 1f, 2f, 3f, 4f. The smaller the grain, the faster it burns. Faster burn means more pressure. Also, there is a difference between black powder and gun powder. I won’t reference the chemistry here. You mentioned not using any nitro cellulose. Many people use gun cotton aka cotton nitro. It is used in quite smaller amounts compared to black powder.

Fire crackers: eh real explosives: ok now that is content

Good vid thanks! I do think that a cap and ball revolver would be better. Yes, you do have to make the caps... but it can be done - in fact, the match powder, I believe works well for the caps. And really, if you are preparing ahead of time, you can be set up to do that and have options for that. Having multiple shots as you point out in the end, talking about the crossbow, is very advantageous. Seriously, if the recent attack in Israel isn't enough to wake up your UK "leadership" and reverse the draconian, tyrannical gun laws, I don't think anything will. The Israeli leadership immediately loosened their laws and made firearms available to their population. Hopefully they've learned their lesson and fix that permanently there too.

the cows in the other field look like they would do ?

i was gunna post a joke that you havent got a lionces for thoatttt. but you already have one lol. why do u need a licence for doing stuff that i used to do as a kid in the woods. its not acetone peroxide lol

Wow. The most remarkable thing to me is that it doesn't ignite before the pressure starts to drop

Match heads now are mostly not black powder, theyre willy pete (for my fellow army fellas) or white phos

that reloading crossbow has too many moving parts. it will break easily within 50 shots.

Try gun cotton

Dude your Allright I like your candor

Instead of real gunpowder i'm using matchheads mixed with the substance thats in caps for toy capguns by gently squeezing the caps with a plier and turn caps upside down the substance falls out which looks like granules. Using only matchheads works too but adding the substance from the caps gives it more power to shoot my home made matchlocks

Let's wrap the bowling ball with a rag to create a tight fit... Nice video ...is there a build video on the way?....asking for a friend 😁

This was beautifully done. It deserves so many more views than it has gotten.

that ding was spot on

What did we learn today? That blackpowder must have the correct grainsize!? you used diffrent sources of powder but to compare them in a scientific way, it seems the must have all the same grain size! I have the feeling, that oxy is missing if poder is to compact, but pls correct me!😀

A lot of preepers use black powder or wanna use it because its à good alternative for hunting or personal défense in long therm apocaliptic situation... In old time it was used and it work...

ive tested the fuel from a model rocket engine in my 45 long colt, performed decently.

that is awesome!!!!

Piss poor effort. Use 1 Kg of powder and wadding around the ball and you should get 1200m on a 7 kg ball.

Dudes gotta be on some type of watch list now 😂

Cool

I never knew English people are so much fun.
