So got tired of not finding any store that would sell/ship firecrackers to Sweden, so now I started to make my own with flash powder. Now this is dangerous I know that, this is why I my self would prefer someone else making it for me, but now as I make my own I wanna help other but no one want to buy my stuff.

think about it first before whining. playing around with firecrackers, especially the big ones is dangerous enough - no need to expand that risk by using some maybe poorly built homemade ones.

so you've essentially only got 2 options:
a) price: undercut other sources to appeal to ppl with less money/teenagers
b) quality: show your customers that your stuff is well-made, packs more punch than the competition etc. cut them open in front of their eyes to show off build quality, give out smples, yadda yadda.

good luck with that stuff - you're gonna need it as soon as someone injures himself and wants to sue you or for the general legal hassles concerning selling prohibited stuff without a license Wink

And btw, this 'business' of yours is a very bad idea but carry on anyway. Just a matter of time before you make a thread about some dire consequences.

I dont know where to start on this one.. However, those youtube vids are interesting. Not sure who would be in market for this, and also be interested in making it. Good luck.,

I have pyrodex (not a powder tho) and aluminum dust (about 400grams of it). What can I make?

oh, you mean "KNO3" well i can get my hands on that but heard bad things about it.

I found an old guide, this is how you make it without the gunpowder, replace kaliumpermanganat and svavel with gunpowder if you do not have access to it, to pack the powder good, use layers of aluminiumfolie, that you then press down on with eg the back end of a screwdriver, attach the lid of the filmburk, tape it with gaffa (or we used to use black isoleringstejp). Make them absolutely water tight (a lot of tape) light a fuse and then drop them in one of the floor wells (golvbrunn). This will make a kvarters glasrutor skallra guaranteed.

"Ett tämligen kraftigt krut, som fått sitt namn av sin silverglittrande
natur. Ger en bra smäll, samtidigt som det är lätt att tillverka om man har
de rätta kemikalierna i närheten.

Du behöver:
-----------
Filmburk
Mortel med pistill
Aluminiumdamm (eller även mkt fina filspån)
Kaliumpermanganat
Svavel

Gör så här:
-----------

1. Mal kaliumpermanganatet till mjölkonsistens i en mortel.
2. Mal även svavlet till dito konsistens i samma mortel (men kom ihåg att
diska ur den ordentligt emellan). Om du inhandlar sublimerat svavel
(svavelblomma) så slipper du iaf att mala svavlet.
3. Blanda sedan (i volymdelar sett):

10 delar kaliumpermanganat
5 delar svavel
2 delar aluminiumdamm

Akta dig för att andas in metalldamm! Lungorna tar oerhörd skada (på ett
långsamt och mycket plågsamt sätt genom aluminos) av fint damm som inandas.
I detta fallet beror det på att Al-damm är inte vattenlösligt och därför
förs det inte bort av kroppen och dammar igen lungorna.

Kommentar:
----------
Al-damm säljes av färgaffärer (för aluminiumbronsering) och av PYRO (för
våra ändamål). Aluminiumet kan verka dyrt, ca 35kr/25g, men det gör inte så
mycket, det går inte åt några större mängder till en sats. Svavel säljs av
PYRO och Matas i Danmark. KMnO4 säljs vanligtvis i färgaffärer och hos
Matas.

Tillverkningstips: Ta en filmburk (ges gladeligen bort i fotoaffärer), fyll
med silverkrut, tejpa en massa lager isolerings- eller packtejp runtom om
du vill, stick ett hål igenom locket och stoppa ner en tjärstubin eller ett
tomtebloss som antändningsmekanism. Det ska tilläggas att det inte är
nödvändigt att tejpa massor med tejp runt din pjäs, då det smäller mycket
bra ändå har vi erfarit. Detta krut är ganska mycket kraftigare än vanligt
svartkrut, men också känsligare. KMnO4 och svavel tillsammans (med givetvis
även ett reduktionsmedel närvarande) är känt för att explodera vid slag och
rivningar, även om jag själv inte lyckats med att misslyckats med detta
ämne. Se även till att du håller din blandning torr för bättre säkerhet.

Du kommer i detta experiment att mala ned kaliumpermanganat. Du kommer
troligtvis även att få någon fläck på dig själv eller kläder vid
handskandet med detta ämne. Denna fläck kan du avlägsna med en lösning av
svavelsyrlighet i vatten (Blanda natriumsulfit med en smula syra). Det lär
även gå att få bort med en mycket utspädd lösning av fosforsyra, som
exempelvis Coca-Cola"

if he is gonna use aluminum powder, get him some breathing protection, as if he get that stuff in his lungs, it will hurt him.

for me, I love the sound it makes.
