  1. SO, if there is eventually enough CO2 in the air, and its heavier than oxygen, then wont CO2 stay lower like where we breathe and the oxygen being above our heights. Or is the reason because the wind mixes up the air? Either that, or the earth warms up the air, so it rises, coll air falls, repeat.

     

    maybe bothe combined? IDK, i was just curious and want to know the answer.

  2. and the Use for such things in everyday life would be?

     

    Why do I need a reason for everyday life. I use my smoke bombs for paintball/airsoft gun fights, throw out a couple smoke bombs, and you have cover for 10 minutes.

     

    Also, if you add 1/2 cup of cornsyrup instead of 1/4 cup, they become perfect for sticking to peoples clothing, walls, or any other obstacle.

  3. The Smoke bomb recipes in this website are great, but it is hard to find saltpetre (potassium Nit.). If you go to a drugstore and ask for saltpetre from behind the pharmacy counter, it costs about $2.19 for 6 ounces. Yesterday I tried combining the two outdoors on a campfire, it lit up. Nice Chemistry! I'm going to try to melt the sugar indoors, them add the saltpetre, after it is carmelized. 4 cups caramelized sugar to 6 cups saltpetre.

     

    I'll post my 2nd try outcome in a couple days.

     

    My smoke bomb mixture/creation worked. I used 4 oz. of sugar, and 1/4 cup of light corn syrup. I mixed them touroughly together, and heated them on my kitchen stove for about 1o-15 minutes on my kitchen stove, stirring constantly.

     

     

    NOTE: Not stirring causes the mixture to become black, smoke, and it won't work for the smoke bomb.

     

     

    The mixture should be done once it reaches a peanutbutter color. If the peanut butter color becomes red, thats ok. Its red from the light corn syrup colling down. Right when u take it off the stove, bring it outside and pour in the 6 oz. of Potassium Nitrate. It will go back to peanut-butter looking, and will cool down and harden fast.

     

    Pour into containers, add wick, cool down and VOILA! done.

     

    Works great, smoke, fire column (1-2ft. high)

     

    TRY IT!
