@@jz-sti I have an intake with a K&N air filter on it. I don’t do the nets since stuff can still get in and I’ve run this setup for years and the blades are not chipped or anything.

@@Theactualcurrentsea yeah it is but if you use an arbor press it works pretty good without having to use a pump press. I used an arbor before this press but I don’t use it often because I haven’t been making much rockets but now with the new year coming up I’m going to make more rockets.

@@shannonmuldrow3118 I get all my tools from woodys rocks website but I’m not sponsored by them but even my press is from there you can also visit pyro creations for the baby tools 1/4 and 5/16 tools and tubes

@@Slowly_Going_Mad so I actually have been using eastern red cedar pet bedding from Walmart and of course I cook it and all that but that huge bag lasts me a few years and the powder is very fast this video is kinda old but have since started using red cedar vs the willow. I have heard of balsa but haven’t tried it yet.

@E85_STI like I said though the toilet paper one is surprisingly fast. Not quite balsa flash fast but very close. It also has a higher energy content based on bullet velocity. But there is a difference between energy and reactivity. A very reactive BP will flash easy open air but might not be as good for a gun. I think balsa falls in this category. I've never tried cedar. I've tried pine but the tar/pitch left over in the char made the powder too grippy to mill down easily, though I love the sparks it makes in rocket motors.

Lastly screening is fine for pyro uses. Pucked powder will actually slow down. The main reason for making pucks is to cram as much energy in a small space as possible for gun use and to have a standard density so it can be easily measured by volume. Grain is a measure of mass but at a known density you get a known volume to use.

@@rodrigogomez5035 are you using the support tool? I bought the support tools even for the 5/8 and 3/4 because once you start pressing past 1,000 psi the tube starts to split because the comp kinda bulges out now if you are pressing smaller rockets like 1/2 with no support I just turn down the pressure all the way it goes as low as 325 or so and it doesn’t split my 5/16 mini rockets which I’ve shown on my channel. Here’s a video I was making something really small with 500 psi no support and it doesn’t split my tubes. ruclips.net/video/X0ZApd9Ep1c/видео.htmlsi=LmUlLqxyN2y6-4PZ

@E85_STI what about when you are using your pressure to force step gauge? I don't have that fancy regulator for my hydraulic press to set my psi. I'm thinking I have to use the surface area of the step plate to read how many lbs my gauge is reading.

@ oh I gotcha so when I use the gauge for my set up I just press the ram rod directly on the gauge to read the pressure and I spin the regulator to set the pressure and that’s the only time I use the gauge though. Does yours pressure to force gauge look like mine? My press even has a pressure gauge on top where the ram rod is but I don’t use that gauge

@E85_STI I get what you are saying. Essentially your spin regulator is factoring in the pressing force of the cylinder. I searched online and found on skylighter a tutorial of using the step gauge. I was supposed to use the pressure gauge cylinder surface area with woodys calculation chart to find the gauge reading on the pressure to force gauge. Now it math's out why I can press up to 230psi without it cracking. Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I watched tons of your videos before I decided to start pressing my rockets.

@ yeah mine is straight forward ruclips.net/video/-k42KuaEuAs/видео.htmlsi=Dh4OBNuu5jOZv9T7 In this video is exactly how I set it up then I just press. The calculations in the other video is just for using the support but I don’t press using that paper

@@memeguy240 so I have a video on how I make them but the biggest thing is to make sure you don’t have any static on you so grounding strap it just touch a piece of metal before you start with flash. Use a hole punch to poke a hole for the fuse. You can take smaller crackers apart instead of making fla$h but I just always make my own when I would make it I haven’t made it in years

@@kluper1157 yeah this one is heavy but very solid and very tight tolerance so it makes really good pucks.

@@ritsaha7138 so for the most part this is black powder I can’t remember what I did in the video if it had any sparks if so it’s just adding some Al

@@E85_STI Can you tell me the fuse is leaking (hole) at 45 degree angle to the wing?

@@ritsaha7138 hello so I have a few videos on how to make the wing I use a 3d printer but also I buy the wings from a store online but here’s a quick video on paper you can cut. Search through my videos you’ll see more helicopters and how to make stage boosters for more height. ruclips.net/video/4_ZF9FuwP9g/видео.htmlsi=FGnHuNcpOQRmNUo5

@@ФёдорЗародышев-т2ц so I have a video on how I make my charcoal from scratch and it’s dry because I cook it but the nitrate isn’t granular it’s starting out as float power but the milling process breaks everything down to float powder anyway but my charcoal now is really fast since this video and I found out later that the willow powder may be the issue because I use Easter red cedar per bedding now and it’s way faster.

@@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. ruclips.net/video/Xtfuu1LR3yk/видео.htmlsi=9-81GX_qQ7AOnKZD

@@E85_STI thanks 👍

@@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.

@@E85_STI I hear you. I'm in canada. We can't get any of this

@@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.

@@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

@@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.

@@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.
