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.

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

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

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.

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

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 .

i recommend 80% nitrate, 5% sulfur 15%charcoal

In north Ethiopia we extract the crude potassium nitrate from deep caves and we add sulfur and carbon(charcoal). No need to boil. Mixture of these three fined elements just make gunpowder. At the end spot of the bullet we put head of a match, fill it with the gunpowder and finally put the tip of the bullet that already was used(fired). Caution needed in every step. I have checked from simple gun to big mortar bullet.

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.

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

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

Love the high precision measurements!

Crazy 😮open fire cooking gunpowder.

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

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

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

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

Traditionally sulphur is also added at 10% by mass.

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

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.

What no 10% sulphur and 8h ball milling that will not shoot a bullet efficiently only good for fireworks and quick match making

Easiest way is grind all components individually and then mix them and wet them lil bit then dry

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

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

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!

How much difference in the measurements of the ingredients can there be for the powder to explode or not ?

What type of coal? What type of salt? . Please provide a brief explanation.

Why no sulphur?

In the earlier 80's For the science fare I made Black Powder. They wouldn't allow it in the library for the science fare. It was raining outdoors and and I had to do it out doors. Was so cool they took a photo of me and behind me was the fuel truck gassing up the busses when it flashed off. They claim the photo was over exposed and didn't develop. I think they saw their safety failure and it burned uo too. Hahaha

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'?

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

I did that many times as a teenager, often I mixed aluminum powder in it too. I always added the sulfur. However, I did not have a recipe so it was hit or miss. Plus, I was living in Peru at the time.

Fascinating.. ive always wondered how less developed countries did it..

Broo only solt and carkol? Can u help me how can i make it easyle

Well for one charcoal and St Peter does not make gunpowder you also need some sulfur in there is a stabilizer and his measurements are way the hell off it is 75 saltpeter 15% charcoal and 10% sulfur that is the standard mix for black powder to this day

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

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the music ❤❤❤

lol. Salt Peter and sulphur was easily purchased from my local chemist when I was a young teen. Heaps of fun. Most kids today have no idea what fun is. Back when I bought a slug gun (air rifle)from target. It was a toy then and as far as I’m concerned it still is.

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

You need nitrate too. Is that what the saltpeter is for?

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

Does this perform as well as black powder with surfur?

Me and the boys used to make pipebombs with gunpowder like this when we were 10. If you grab two bin bags and fill it a little bit with gasoline, and then you tape it tightly, making it like a small ball, you leave it near your pipebomb and it will blown with a fireball. The pipebomb itself only produces some smoke, no flames. It doesn't work the same way if you just use a bottle. I have no idea why.

love the music..😊👍

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.

Vous ne mettez pas de soufre ?

How many cups of charcoal?

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

Be very careful here- you just might blow yourself up in the process. In the 19th century and earlier, this was a common occurrence. Gunpowder mills were built with 3 heavy duty walls (usually made from stone) and a flimsy wooden one. When explosions occurred, it would “blow out” the wooden wall but leave the other 3 intact- the wooden wall would be rebuilt, and business would continue as usual.

I recognise that tune

Try adding powdered iron.

بسیار خوب بود فقط در تمام فرمولهای پودر سیاه من اسم گوگرد را شنیده ام نمیدانم چرا سرعت آتش گرفتن پودر خود را نشان ندادید

Sulphur? Amonia?

True black powder is light sensitive

Will it be made without sugar?

What about the sulfer?

Can be prepare saltpeter in house?

Missing sulphur third ingredient

Watching some dude making IEDs !

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

What's it good for, a mortar?

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

Ilike the video thanks for teaching us great

SULPHUR ???

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

Can i use plant fertiliser?as potassium nitrate

Lovely usic

Bhaiyaji no wrong information... May be according , you it's it's an acceptance the way how you prepare, the very gun powder, my request.. Is... Inika Randomly na dahli bi...

How the hell did you get that much potassium nitrate?

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

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

В далёком детстве один раз сделали. Уголь нажгли,селитра в магазине, сера на железной дороге. Горел. Больше не делали. После войны и так всего хватало.

I believe this are the konyak nagas.... The British we surprise when they were greeted with muskets in the early 90s trying to conquer the konyaks... Hence they introduced opioid and the effects are still felt today.

Does it have to be a Calendar paper?

Do a traditional way of making potassium nitrate please

Where is the sulphur???

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

I will hasten to thee‼️ I am resolved no longer to linger

What is this music please, thank you.

Is it me, or is the background music "Still Alive" from Portal?

You forgot the sulfur. OOPS!!!

Bro.... you forget to add sulfur in your GP recipe. BTW it is great mixture

Yes guiter musice was so sweet who played the guitar

So what happened to the Sulfur?

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

Konyak NAGA 💪💪mei nang ki oh 👍😊

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.

I make my own. Reload .45lc, .357 and 12 gauge with the stuff. It's really much easier than all this. And it's all legal.

I thought you also had to add sulphur

You did not add sulfur.

Who is in wanted list?

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

Almost Exploded The Kitchen, The Author As Well!

Add saltpeter needed why it smoders will turn intelligent 🧠

How much kilograms of Charcoal that you apply

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😂
