youd find out the density of kcl when its moleten then figure out the mols and go from there i think

Depends on the motor you want to create, Ammonium Perchlorate is the most powerful oxidizer and is used in the large expert motors. If youre a beginner you should go with KNO3. Most of the other oxidizers are very/pretty impractical.

I dont think rubbers will react with that, perhaps thats woelens new experiment?

I dont see how u can lose 3 fingers from just BP but yes it is dangerous and that was just stupid. you may have 20 foot arms but duh u can still blow em up if you use them to mix stuff etc., but you could always make a some sort of remote control mecahnism to make the reaction procede with you safely away. An example is the atom bomb, very dangerous, but still can be tested safely.

ya i did it and it worked real well i modified it so it wouldnt leak or malfunction.

by the way bud, you can always be far enough away from a reaction to do it safely.

This is a very dangerous thing to do!!! Never melt a mix of KNO3 and a reductor in a test tube. The reaction may become so violent that the contents is swirled away' date=' out of the test tube, spraying around molten chemicals!

 

You can do the experiment with KNO3 and S by mixing it carefully and lightling the mix in the open on a piece of stone or metal. But never do this in a test tube!

 

@akcapr: Next time, please be more careful with what you suggest. Nobody is waiting for accidents with burning chemicals sprayed around![/quote']

 

woelen you are overreacting. Things such as thermite are alot more dangerous but they can still be safely done. when i did this i dint do it in my living room or anything and i stepped away as the reaction was going on. EVERY reaction can be done safely.

im pretty sure its been created before

one reaction that looks really cool is you take equal amounts roughly of each, put them in a test tube, and then heat till the kno3 melts then it burns bright and looks kinda like KCLO4 + gummy bear

it would probably produce less smoke but that smoke would have less time to clear so you would have a thicker cloud. The amount of smoke difference wouldnt be noticable.

you can PM me if you have questions i have some experience with homemade rocket motors.

what exactly happened? i havent heard about this

just dry/evapoprate the solution or filter it

Well i found a little extraction method for myself that ive never exactly heard of: lets say you take a solution of something in water, then u add 200 proof EtOH, and some of the stuff that was in the water precipetates out n u can collect. Just thought i would share this, guess its a form of crystallization.

they freeze it fast, but not quite flash. thats why their texture is smooth compared to homemade ones.

centrifuging is hard cuz it can still mix after you centrifuge it

ya but they probly form an azeotrope to some extent thats the most obvious method

you could seperate also by taking advantage of the freezing points perhaps

wow thats really cool very futuristic

Is your avatar a picture of you?

ehh i dunno about that. usually u dont saturate ur tea very much when its hot.

it would still be liquid, just no hydrogen bonds

well try http://www.unitednuclear.com but thats more pyrotechnix based.

its worse, becuase youll get a bunch of chromium oxide, nad it wouldnbt work very well. Plus its more expensive. Go with KNO3. AN is alot harder to work with because its hard to light AN motors.
