@@padraigsheridan8316 here is a better video of how they work but on my channel I have how I made them if you look through the videos. These I barely put anything in them and they are bright and loud but I don’t really make flash anymore and when I did it was very small quantities less than 5 grams at a time. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xtfuu1LR3yk.htmlsi=9-81GX_qQ7AOnKZD
@@padraigsheridan8316 no problem and I didn’t want to say exactly what It is because now a days they don’t let you buy the chems online or something like that.
@@padraigsheridan8316 you can use black powder if you can get the chems those are pretty easy to find the only thing is it’s not as loud but it can still be used as a report. I did try another version of flash on the channel,but I can’t remember how well it worked.
@@Theactualcurrentsea so I end up doing that in a later video but I do make my own Fla$h I just haven’t in a long time but I saw something online that now they won’t sell the chems in the same order and if you try and source it separately they can find out but if you need it you can take some cracker apart and dump the powder in or do what you said.
Not sure if you’re still posting. But nice video and I like someone attempting to explain the heading weight limits a little as most don’t see that and do assumed the 4oz, 1Lb can carry that weight. Question for you as I’m just starting on rockets this week, did my BP runs/tests and now move on. Are you using the manual method or do you have a press?
@@Theactualcurrentsea so I have a 6 ton fireworks press I use it for the black power and my whistle rockets. If you go through my videos you’ll see the press and I use a press to force gauge and a tube support to keep the tube from splitting. You can use a manual Arbor press which I was using initially and it works well. For BP hand ramming is cost effective and works great still
Hey do you know what the helicopters without wings are called They have a same shape just fatter with side motor hole that spins it around and then a bottom center rocket hole takes the spinning cylinder up into the air and blows up like a regular shell I cant for the life of me figure it out You would never expect it tobe a arial firework/firecracker because it just looks like a fat m80 with rounded ends like a pill but NO wings
Imagine talking about safety/ proper procedures in your video while also sticking a drill bit into an M80 that’s already filled with flash powder… drrrrr. Would it have been so hard to poke the hole first, then insert the fuse and one end cap, THEN fill it up with flash powder? Come on dude. You should really consider removing or editing this video so that people/kids that see this that are inexperienced don’t imitate what you did in this video thinking it’s ok.
Maximum charging AH rating for batteries that small is about 1AH for the smaller 5AH battery and 2AH for the larger 9AH battery. The 10AH charger your showing in use is way too large of a charger & is pretty dangerous to use on such a small battery, The 10AH charger is designed for something like a car battery. With that 10AH rated charger on those batteries, the batteries will overcharge, swell, boil and or overheat. The recommended figure for determining what maximum AH charge rate you can feed a battery is to first determine the actual AH rating of the battery and divide it by 4. So the smaller battery being a 5AH rated battery, dividing it by 4 you would get 1.25.. therefor the safest charge rate for that battery would be a 1.25 amp (1 amp) charger whereas the 9AH battery would safely be charged at (1 or 2 amp) 2.25 amps max. Im sure you have since figured this out, but sharing a tip for others that may watch this video with a similar issue and reading comments. Of course you can always go with a lower AH rated charger that what your calculation comes out to, It will just take a bit longer to charge which is perfectly fine too.
@@ljames85jr nope it doesn’t warm the exhaust up that fast but I only did it until the warm up sequence let the rev down a little because mine would rev up to 1500 or so but I left it for maybe 30 seconds but I don’t do this anymore I have an S650 daily driver with active Exhaust for the early morning and the Sti I start later
@@E85_STI I need to try this on my Maserati Granturismo or it's going to be sold. Thanks for the video gives a good insight on the difference it makes.
@@ljames85jr no,problem and I used to start the car at 0530 for work so of course it’s too damn early and I did buy a whole new exhaust with silencer to help but it was too bassy and I didn’t like it so it’s sitting in my garage now but especially during the cold months it took forever to lower the rpm so I only did this for a while until I bought a daily back then. The car is way louder now though it’s built heads with cams and built block with a big turbo so I never start it early unless it’s like 0800 or something.
@@E85_STI Yes that maybe my next option buying a car for work, I'm the same 5.30am starts when on shift. Dreading the winter months if I don't find a solution in time. Wow that will be loud, as much as we love the sound of our cars we don't want to be disturbing people.
@@ljames85jr exactly and this method works for sure you’ll notice you can’t hear it from 10-20 ft away let alone a neighbor that’s inside so it works it’s just a hassle to do this everyday now I did make a few boxes stuffed with towels and sound deadening squares and those I just placed in front of the exhaust and it does help I just made the opening just big enough to fit the muffler into and it’s much easier but the pool noodles work the best.
Seriously you cannot use a nozzle with 75-15-10 Eastern red cedar charcoal. it will Cato every single time. And you have to wax the tubes as well. Basically black powder with Eastern red cedar has the same forces as high end whistle fuels. Because that black powder is more for lifting shells. You can use it for rockets but it has to be nozzleless. make sure you pack it good and tight and don't bother with a nozzle you should be golden. If you want to use a nozzle and still make 75-15-10 BP it has to be hardwood charcoal. preferably air flow and you do not have to mill it. As long as your powders are decently fine you should have no problems.
@@patman0250 yeah I learned that it’s a little too hot but I did change it to the 60/30/10 and it worked out but for some reason even now when I go back to the 70/15/10 it works fine even with the nozzle but these are NEPT so they have some coating on them already.
@@orbmaster9429 one is a dark eckert German and the other I believe was just regular higher mesh silver aluminum but the dark works the best I have other videos with whilst eto salute or just even little,crackers and they are very loud.
I like Subaru, I own two of them, but this is a piss poor design. The design engineer at Subaru didn't spend a whole lot of time thinking this. Most of these cars nowaday have the need to keep up with the other manufactures bells and whistles. Waste of time, waste of money, mostly waste of my time fixing this POS. Good video!
@@something2say159 yeah it’s a dumb design and there wires thing is when I messed with it I didn’t really have the dried crud from the washer fluid but some does leave a crumbly residue which messes these up and gets the float stuck but I use only rain x brand not the cheap Walmart summer formula .
@@David_Vander_Vliet well the grains would still compact in the tube but my black powder is very fast and people use it for shooting so I don’t think it should be a problem other than it could be a little too hot for the rocket and it would CATO but it’s cost effective to make it
@E85_STI since asking about the use of commercial powders, I have invested in all the equipment necessary to make my own. I was going to try avoiding spending a lot of money on this newfound curiosity of mine, but it didn't work! 😂 I'm committed now. I figure that I'll be able to get years of fun out of this stuff, so I'm not complaining. Thanks for your reply. 👍
Hold on you have been making fireworks and you didn't know what type of aluminum to buy? Everybody knows dark aluminum it's all you use for flash. Unless you want to go the magnesium route which is awesome as well.
@@patman0250 the dark German Eckert is the best I’ve seen and has a very loud crisp flash when it goes off but I like to experiment and I’ve even made a video to see if you Kno3 would work.
they had two quick questions was wondering where do you get your tubes or the whistles and then also I have seen on some other whistles for bigger salutes can you use HVAC aluminum tape to wrap around the top part of where the fuse is to cover it and will that still work
Guys, look for part number: 289111E400 To get a replacement sensor. It will say it’s meant for Nissan vehicles, but Subaru Owners swear by it. Going to use it for my 2015 wrx.
@@BearValleyPyro I use benzo as well and I made a video on how I make it but on the 5/16 I set my press to the lowest setting and last time I checked the psi it was 434 lbs so as long as the tube doesn’t split you should be good but make sure when you fuse it you don’t stick the fuse into the core that will cause the Cato as well.
@@E85_STI yea I figured the fusing part out the hard way, wasted like 10 5/16 tubes. Thanks 🙏👍 Do people make 1/4 inch whistle rockets too or are those red spiral tubes just meant for black powder? I am pressing whistle in them and those always cato, haven't gotten one of those to work yet.
Man that was super sick ! I love the little rockets, great job 👍 I can't get my 1/4 inchers to whistle . . . My 5/16 rockets whistle good. I think I am not able to press them as hard because the tube ruptures.
i did this with my cousins during new years lol, we got a bunch of leaves and set it on fire on multiple ant piles. we got bit a bunch and almost burned down my uncles fence lol
Does anyone think metamaterials are in the plastic and they’re reacting to combustion? Cause in other plastics that are HARD like bottles the sound doesn’t make this type of sound.
@@Vivianauxito oh I know who you guys are I have your leds in my other two cars right now. These LEDs are so bright and last a long time. I do have instagram e85sti_vince
What i do is i roll my kno3 for about 2 days to a super fine powder, then i mix the kno3 sulfer and airfloat charcoal. After i mill the chemicals together for around 3 days its almost as fast as commercial black powder after granulating with 50 50 rubbing alcohol and water.
Hey new subscriber would you do a start to finish 1/4 inch rocket tutorial? I got the kit from pyrocreation coming in the mail and there is really no information on them. Awesome content!
@@jeavenstubin5112 thank you for that and I have a video on it. I do make the next size up which is the 5/16 rockets they are slightly larger and make for a fun rocket. I use whistle fuel in the 5/16 but for the 1/4 don’t hammer too hard because the tune can split so I use a rubber mallet lightly tapping to pack the clay and bp. You can add a remote to these easily and I did get some of those little 1/4 paper plugs off pyro but idk if I used them in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J4eUmx7YVHo.htmlsi=up9HIwMkL6gs5YWV
What if you made a giant version, like 3x or 4x larger than standard? Maybe put some stars in there. EDIT: Increase the charcoal ratio to slow that down.
@@atomicskull6405 I’ve thought about that I do have some 3lb 3/4” tubes they are more for rockets but I always forget to do it when the season rolls around
modern ground blooms all suck, back in the 70's and 80's they were completely filled with powder and ran for 15 seconds. Today they are just a waste of money, you can blame fire marshals in safe and sane states threatening to ban them if the runtime wasn't reduced because people learned you could put a cardboard wing on them.
