Not Telling
Right
About a month ago I was doing an expirement with Sulphur and Zinc, testing the power. It wasn't brillant so I got bored and I started to file some magnesium down off a firestarter. I mixed about 3 mg : 1.5 Sulphur by volume. I had about a 1/8 of a teaspoon, not that much! Expecting it to crackle and not really burn i held up a splint to it. FLASH!
The flash was very quick and bright. I was very impressed!
The next test is under confinment. I used about 1 spatual full in a paper tubing which wasnt very thick. BANG!!!! very loud, for some reason it worked better then my KMnO4 flash.
I can't seem to find any info about this anywhere!
Anyone tried this? Does anyone know the stabilty of this composition?

Are our firework laws to hard?
29 September 2004 - 06:05 PM
Some time ago I went to France, we went in to a newsagents and there right in front of us where stacks of bangers (petards). I brought around ?20 worth which got me a plastic bag full of them! My little brother who was 8 at the time was able to buy them!
Can you imagine if this was in the UK? Id probally have the police after me! You have to be 18 to buy sparklers in our local shop. This is ridiclous!
Its probally just because im 16, anyone over 18 probally wont be fussed. I have to resort to making my own fireworks which is far more dangerous then using brought ones.
I am a pyro and its in my blood, but even making homemade maroons wastes to much of my time. If I lived in France I could just pop round to the local corner shop and bingo.
They used to sell al sorts of intreasting things in the UK, untill a couple of years ago 1998 when the stupid BS law was taken into place.
Good old English bangers:
Check out what the french can buy!:
Long have gone those days for us brits. Soon laws will get even tighter and a full firework ban wouldnt surprise me
What do we all think?

Hi guys
Has anyone had any success with copper oxide + aluminium thermite? And what weight percentages do you use?
Thanks.
