it probably took me as long to type that as it did for you to cut

[j574sbi]

newspaper works better

[dla888]

Maybe I'm stupid but what's newspaper better for?

[cdousley]

I think he means to pour the powder.

[Jamez Britton]

instead of a firework cap ca you use the charge from party poppers?

[scout3030]

I'm anxious to try this and see the results. I'm primarily curious about the amount of smoke it produces. Is it enough to provide any tactical benefits in a paint ball game as you suggested? I'd also like to experiment with other materials besides a ping pong balls perhaps, though I'm sure you had a good reason for choosing that specifically. Good instructible, and don't let them bug you about your spelling.

Ya this is worked like an inhalent it can basicaly make you choke on your own vomit.

[lil daredevil]

if you replace the ping-pongball with a mixture of potassium nitrate (aka saltpeter) and sugar, that has been mixed in a skillet and is now a goopy mess, it will work fine, the mixture, when burned, gives off a harmless smoke. check out other smoke bomb instructions to get the instruction of the preperation of that mixture. besides that, this is a great instructables

Ok, lets just sum up all the previous comments into one, easy-to-read lump. Yes, when you burn most types of plastic ( Except polythenes and similar oil-based plastics ) they release nasty fumes which may make you sick. However, ( thanks Mattrox ) ping pong balls ARE NOT made of plastic. Nup. They're made of a substance called Celluloid , ( AKA. Parkesine and Xylonite ) which is a highly flammable material similar to the stuff they make photographic film out of. Yes, i said highly flammable. So now we're back the the fumes. Now, you try burning an old sheet of negative film roll, and breath deeply. Do you feel sick? Probably. Back to celluloid, which is made of mainly Nitrocellulose ( a very explosive compund ) and Camphor ( which is used, according to Wikipedia, "as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose" ). So, when you burn a ping pong ball, what are you actually doing? Well, you're speeding up the natural decomposition of the celluloid. Any science teacher will tell you that, generally, adding heat to a reaction will make the reaction go faster. ( e.g, Rusting metal in a cool environment / rusting metal in a hot environment ) And when this decomposition happens, it'll release nasty toxins and fumes. Sorry Corey. Looks like i'm snorting crack too. Burning solid celluloid will give you a result similar to burning napalm. So don't. As for small, hollow ping pong balls, well... don't. But "DON'T DO THIS" signs have never stopped explosives enthusiasts before, ( speaking from experience ) so, your choice. Just, try not to die. That's my take on things, anyway. And the longest comment i've ever written. Quack.

[hhhttt]

so can u di or wat

[iTraceur]

*facepalm*

[sniperHunted]

*facehammer*

[corey11]

one question for Shadow Ops andnutsandbolts........ HOW MUCH CRACK ARE YOU SNORTING???? its not toxic and who ever told you that is about as smart as a doorknob....... and for scout 3030 i dont think so try to add like two more pin pong balls and it sould be good

[1spartan95]

crack is not toxic? lol

[albylovesscience]

WOW shadow ops got OWNED major FAIL

[Arbitror]

OK then, in your language:

OMG what A N00b EPic FAIL!!!

Do your homework and please try not to breathe in burning pingpong balls.
_{^{little boys...}}

[-Cry_Wolf]

I love you Shadow Ops.... you and Dr_Stupid should come over my place and have a "Angry at everybody on the internet" party :-D

[albylovesscience]

WHUUUUUTTTT?

[KnextGeneration]

Yeah all smoke from petrol products is toxic. Cancer and stuff. Baddddd.

[dla888]

Ping Pong balls are NOT made from petrol. They are made from Nitrocellulose, which is basically nitroglycerin and cellulose(the stuff in plants).

[Arbitror]

Wow, calm down! Google it.

[tython]

i trust you i dont wana die! =P

[corey11]

ok the reason i said its not toxic is because ping pong balls are not plastic which many ppl dont understand.

[Mattrox]

Its a form of cellulose

[Arbitror]

Now here's someone who did their homework... Good Job.

[Mattrox]

thanks do I get an A+

[nutsandbolts_64]

Did anyone use ping pong ball smoke for chemical warfare? It is toxic . . .

[lambman64]

thanks you very much, another smoke option is kno3 with is K and some suger (cooked)

[iTraceur]

Uh, what?

K is Potassium.  NO₃ is Nitrate.  KNO₃ is Saltpetre.
Sugar is C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

O.o

[HF TMM]

Sugar is C6H12O6....

[Delo97]

No it's C12H22O11

[Father Christmas]

"with is K and"

say wha?

not quite sure i understand that part >_<

[lambman64]

sorry, when you cook kno3 and sugar it makes a "peanut butter" like mix. which gives off heavy smoke when lit

[iTraceur]

Note to self:  read ahead more often.  /facepalm
Making sense now.

ROCKET CANDY!!!

[Father Christmas]

well i know that, ive known that for quite some time. but i just didn't understand the word usage

[scout3030]

I saw another instructable that made sense of the ping-pong ball decision. I understand now.

[Verbinguden]

Those are some beastly scissors you got there

[lil daredevil]

oh yeah, dem MAN-SIZED sissors right der

[toxicwolf]

how long does it take to start emitting smoke
