Making Gun Powder  

Can you make a traditional way of making salt peter video if possible Thanks

In the 60's, I read how to make gunpowder. I got saltpeter from the drug store, and a charcoal briquette. Used a hammer to pulverize the charcoal, mixed in the saltpeter, and threw a match on it. Poof! It burned like a ball of fire. Performed this experiment in the street gutter, in front of our house, age 10.

12 gauge shells reloaded with black powder just works like wonder. And the puff of smoke just takes it to another level.

It's been 60 years since I heard that tune. Thanks for bringing back a Sunday morning memory from my childhood.

Sulphur is the third component of blackpowder. I missed seeing it being added.

I noticed he never added sulfur, I would say he never added sulfur because he was cooking over open fire and wanted to keep himself alive .

Crazy 😮open fire cooking gunpowder.

Love the high precision measurements!

Great video. Keep it up

Not how we made it as 10 year old kids, 2 parts Sulphar, 1 part charcoal 1.5 parts Nitrate, mixed dry in a plastic or wooded bowl with a plastic or wood spoon, If you cant get sulphur use sodium thiosulphate to only ONE part.

You can make powder by grinding all the ingredients to very fine powder, then combine wet, make dough, and granulate with a screen . Dry fast, it works.

Ilike the video thanks for teaching us great

What about the sulfer?

What's it good for, a mortar?

The patience of the content creator is amazing. Clearly seen in answers in the comment section. 2👍's up. Z. 🇮🇸

We used to make small amounts in a pestle. The British chemists wouldn't sell saltpeter around early November!

love the music..😊👍

That's another awesome way to go about it. Thank you

Missing sulphur third ingredient

Or just watch the Gorn episode of Star Trek ….🖖🏻

Does this perform as well as black powder with surfur?

Brilliant & Beautiful 😂❤😂❤LOOKS EAZZZZY I'LL TRY IT??? HOPE IT REALLY WORKS THIS TIME???

I have made this recipe before. It's very easy and burns faster than any other gunpowder I have made so far

I thought you also had to add sulphur

the music makes it like a children's arts and crafts

Can we buy this saltpeter in any shop? What a difference with saltpeter and salt that we use in the kitchen 🤔

putting vegetable oil on an old stone wall indoors wait a few days, the saltpeter is there I discovered this by chance I make charcoal with toilet paper in an old paint can your videos are very good, well done!

Wonder how well that powder works. Be cool to know how to reload, down to making powder and primers!

Love the music ❤❤❤

Where most people get lost in the process of making black powder doing it over an open flame. What could possibly go wrong?

Can anyone tell me the name of song please 🙏 I love this music and want to play it on guitar.

THIS JUST SKEWED MY THINKING ABOUT HOW THIS PROCESS, WOULD BECOME THE END PRODUCT *

Tray to add a 100grams of sugar and one batton sulphure and You wil see genuine gunpowder

Potasyum nitrat yerine patosyum klorat kullanılabilir mi? Patasyumun kömür tozu ile kaynatışdığında patlama tehlikesi var mı? Kükürt eklemek istersek hangi aşamada yapmalıyız?

very good ai

Will it be made without sugar?

Sulfur?

What is this music please, thank you.

Does it have to be a Calendar paper?

I recognise that tune

No burning test???

So what happened to the Sulfur?

😮 I try this

Love the song 🎵

Burn?

Best way is to cook the mixture in a Castlron Cauldron rather than that Aluminium pot.

Looks like bong resin

the souls were happy. "Gunpowder for the poor" without sulfur. Of course, you can't make sulfur on your own (I remember how in my childhood, and this was 50 years ago, I was looking for it on a railway track where freight cars used to make black powder. But now even children's knowledge and skills have come in handy for designing skids (bombs) for drones on war in Ukraine

Is it PN which barbers puts on our face n skin after haircut n shaving? Some crystal like substanc after diping it in water which they usually call it 'phitkery'?

Yes guiter musice was so sweet who played the guitar

Svp vous avez fabriquer quoi ? Je seulement regarder du début à la fin. Je ne rien compris 😄😄😄

SULPHUR ???

Wat kind f tree he s using 4 charkol .

How much kilograms of Charcoal that you apply

Where's the sulfur?

New subscriber here 🖐🏻

What type of charcoal was that ? And how much water and charcoal you have used to make it..

Used to make these with my father i think its 2004 till 14.. really good.. We used a charcoal made of tamarind tree and all😂

The quick and the dead

O if I have to do this

We're all on the redflagged list now.

Wheres the sulphur??

This is not "gun powder" or to call it by its proper name, black powder, If you were making black powder then you'd be adding sulphur also.

So where is the sulfur going

Sulphur? Amonia?

Almost Exploded The Kitchen, The Author As Well!

Put fermenter bamboo shoot and raja mirchi for more punch 😅😅😅

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Perooooo

1:18 OR Ammonium Nitrate NH4NO3

Lol I would not be making gunpowder on an open flame 🔥😅

амониева селитра - амониев нитрат ? тор за почвата ли е това

Atmanirbhar bharat😮

I watch this in case someday i get isekai to magic and sword other world

I try every type of method in order to make black powder only ball mill for 48 hours work best

What about making smokeless?

Vous ne mettez pas de soufre ?

I see a lot of people complaining about what you made. You say this is traditional. Traditionaly, what was this used for? And what year was it used? When you say gun powder I think most people think of modern firearms, but this appears to be, at best, black powder. It also appears to be a crude black powder and can probably only be used in the eariest firearms.

no sulphur, does this even work? How about letting some off to show its burn rate.

Saltpaper from market where?any chemical shop or not

Kalau saya boleh bertanya.... Apakah nama garam tersebut...❤

And the sulphur he never added this ingredient to the mixture....

Can i use plant fertiliser?as potassium nitrate

This is done for entertainment and not for information. Here's a quick tip for the sulfur and potassium.nitrate part. Simply find some good quality black Black soil. Ask a friend or farmer with chickens to collect a 5 gallon bucket of soil from under where their chicken coop.is or was. They will know what you mean. Put holes in the bottom of said bucket. Put tight mesh strain cloth under the bucket. Pour in hot boiling water and catch the runoff in a seperate container. Cover and wait overnight for it to cool. When you come back you will find crystals growing in the bottom. Best to leave it to grow till afternoon if you can. Further process these crystals by repeating the water process with the crystals crushed up. Second crystals are purer. And so on and so forth... Sulfur is a bit trickier and can be obtained theough buying or finding large amounts of iron pyrite, crushing said pyrite into powder and smoke distilling it. That is putting it in a clay container with a tube coming out of it that collects into another container then cooking the container with the crushed pyrite over even medium fire. Said smoke will leave a nearly pure sulfur coating on the inside of the second container. Congratulations. You now have slightly unstable gunpowder. Tweak ratio yourself. Add sugar for bigger oomf.

Nooit man Ek wag heel tyd waneer jy dit gaan brandsteek 😮

Putting these on well shape cartages would be tough

I find this video weird yet very informative. Informative because it's about making gunpowder. You'll never know when you'll be forced to make one. It is also odd because it uses the song "I am resolved" as background. 😂 I mean, that's a praise hymn, and it's being played in a video about gunpowder. 😂

Now I have watched this I am probably on some police watch list.

How did u make that salt peter ?

गंधक नहीं मिलाया

I dont know????

Do a traditional way of making potassium nitrate please

WHERE'S THE SULFUR ??

What odd music

Is real or fake 🤔?

Why r u using gun powder ?

Where is the sulphur? How can you make gunpowder without sulphur!😂

Ok

Just a word of warning don't use tools that can cause sparks. such as iron. my grand dad's dad made dynamite at Nitro Nobel. he was telling me how they used to collect fragments of body parts to put in the coffins after accidents at the factory. I still am haunted by the graphic depictions 50 yeast later.

use toilet paper charcoal and grind your mixture (saltpeter sulfur charcoal) with marbles for 72 hours we will get closer to Swiss quality
