ok wtf is a wok and lead shoots i have do clue what that is i googled wok and it was some asian cooking pan please reply

What would you consider a decent size for the stars? You said that the ones in the picture are about right, but I can't really tell how big they are just by looking. So what's a good diameter? A quarter inch? A centimeter?

what color are the stares?

WHat if i used plastic airsoft pellets instead? they are almost exactly similar in size, but differ in weight which obviously makes them safer.

ive heard mustard seeds work best as they suck in all the ingredients and soluable chemicals as it dehydrates, plus its what is used in comercial fireworks, because using lead for any purposes where the lead is non renewed beyond the users control is illegal, aka, using lead bullets that will never be retreived, using lead shots in rolling stars, throwing away lead acid batteries in normal rubbish.
the opposit of using lead sinkers (you dont control if you lose them) or sending lead acid batteries to a recycling plant.


besides, a shower of burning hot (from the magnesium) lead shots isnt everybodies idea of fun, especially if it lands on roofs with uncleaned rain gutters full of leaves

instead of rice hulls does just regular rice (like you eat) work?

hahaha lol they look like blueberries

if i stick a fuse in one of these and light it, will it fly up?

I really want to do this but where do u get these ingreaents for the stars?

Could this step be achieved with some sort of rotary tumbler? Also substitute rice for lead?

Would a ball mill work? I have one made from a 5 gallon bucket. And wouldn't the leads be like bullets? I think I might stick to cutting.

You didn't mention the fact that barium nitrate is poisonous...

Okay so when do you add the fuel. I see that you mix the oxidizer and then push it through the strainer and then do the whole rolling thing with the shots but when do u add the fuel. And would just plain aluminum powder work? Can you make magalium by crushing up magnesium strip and adding it to aluminum powder?

where did you get the Magnalium from?

KA-BOOM!

do you know how to make a Roman candle too?

Which is better to use-Rolled or pumped? I use pumped at the mo, and would like to give rolling a shot, if it gives better results. I am also worried about launching lead shots 150 ft into the air-is it not a bit dodgy? Or does something happen to them?

Is there any way you could substitute Barium nitrate for just more potassium nitrate? I am pretty sure Barium nitrate gives off poisonous fumes.

well i know all i need to know for fire works just wonder if there are any pics

Indeed, i made about fifty "safe'n sain" fireworks last summer, and there was no chemicles to be mixed, all it relied on is a cluster of shock-sensitive flashers(like the ones on some bike tires) after attaching seven or some times more, i launched it out of a slingshot cannon ( if i find it i'll wright on how to make it later) and it flashes for a good thirty seconds. its amazing what your build when your bored. i shot it in an empty field, for i freared if it hit someone bad things would happen. safty level-1 (childs play) consrtuctability -3 (moderate)

you could use amonium nitrate instead of pottasium nitrate right?

Could you change the Barium Nitrate to strontium carbonate or Copper(II) Oxide to change the colour of the star? please help

aryt, eazy2remember, i wuz wundrin, if u kno how 2 make stars thn u'll kno hw 2 make other stuff right? wud u send me steps of all the things u kno how 2 make including ur lead ball star thingy plz. cheerz. e yea itz nae illegal. at least nae in my book!

hey me and ash want to make a "safe" fire work for a science project and we need a bit of help in how we need to go we pretty much need a good easy recipe that is safe and in plain english and explains all those strange words plus we need to make a variable (we doing this assignment on variables and fair tests) without killing our selves and setting the school on fire can any one help us? or how do we contact the site? please!!!! carly and ash -xxx-

can someone message me on where to get chemicals aside from unitednuclear i need someplace that takes money order and if anyone has recipes for flash paper and thermite etc please msg me uhrecords@gmail.com
