Its danger is overhyped. Obviously it must be respected, but pubmed has a 22 page health report on it showing its toxicity. Acute toxicity is easily treated with vitamin B3, and its carcinogenic effects are not 100% proven when compared to a control group (looking at ONLY hydrazine exposure)

👀

hardest part is the balance for your BP. The BP I have isnt fantastic so i need a strong but not too strong container

What makes good charcoal is soft wood and light charcoal pieces ground up. If the store-bought charcoal has those attributes of being light and easily breakable, then probably

in regards to measurement? then its by weight

@@kitchen_chemistry thank you

check that off the bucketlist 😎

thanks casey :)

@@kitchen_chemistry great vids. Thanks for sharing.

It did work..? And also because its insoluble it ppt's out giving a pure product.

@@kitchen_chemistry Absolutely. Zinc is nice alternative to expensive Nickel. You must try it, be careful, stay clean and precise, your ingredients must be exceptionally pure.

@@synth1002 nickel is quite easy to find, check mint dates on coins. I found about 20$ worth of quarters that are 100% nickel. Worked great for my NHN video. also - I found purity to be more of an issue when synthesizing NHN compared to ZHN

Very bad idea to try and make pipe bombs

unfortunately ball mills were out of the budget, I doo want one down the road though.

​@@kitchen_chemistryThey are simple to make. I used my drill last time worked great.

Its gun powder, j7st not smokeless

do it for the dad lore

smells like cat pee

accident lol

thank you!

the words are interchangeable, although now gun powder is typically smokeless powder. also ball mills are expensive, whereas all the items used in this video are <20$

@@kitchen_chemistry agreed ball Mills can be expensive. You can find one for 60 or so dollars if you look around. I built my own and frankly cost me hundreds of dollars but it's very versatile. 6 oz up to 5 gallons. It can also be used for making Stars if you do fireworks pyrotechnics. As far as gunpowder/black powder, the words are not interchangeable, gunpowder is used for what people typically think of as firearms. Black powder is used for muzzleloaders and other firearm specifically designed for black powder. Two different chemistries, black powder and gunpowder are not interchangeable where firearms are concerned.

that's true, however, because you're adding such a small amount I dont believe it would boil. I've done this around 3-4 times and have not had difficulty yet. Mind you I also have some other *minor* safety concerns in my videos so do as you will

I don't think they burn in an oxygen negative environment. I've since bought some fuse which works much better than my homemade string

hey, no worries! I tried that but couldnt get rid of the copper contamination. Zinc nitrate is clear in solution, whereas even small amounts of copper nitrate will contaminate it with a blue colour. I neither got ZHN nor NHN to detonate via friction or shock. ZHN barely detonates at all so I presume it will be safer than the already insensitive compound NHN For the synthesis of hydrazine, check out leonid lerners 'smallscale synthesis of laboratory reagents'. Yields are much better than any youtube tutorial (I have a video on it but would still recommend his procedure over my video) cheers

@@kitchen_chemistry Thanks for the advice! I found a paper testing ZnHN that's interesting if you're curious (DOI: 10.1007/s10973-017-6323-3). Apparently ZnHN is less heat sensitive than NHN so I'm using some dextrin and testing >.8gram.

@@kitchen_chemistrybible?

@@noahcole6856 huh?

@@kitchen_chemistry do you like bible?

That sounds awesome yeah. If its possible without chlorates/perchlorates (restricted where I live), i'd love to hear about it. I still play around with black powder, but also with energetics such as hydrazine nitrate salts posted elsewhere on my channel

@@kitchen_chemistry Awesome!!! Glad to hear you're still enjoying the hobby. Do you have an email by chance? I've been into all kinds of home experiments and shenanigans for 30+ years. Lately I've been doing alot of testing with BP and different formulas and species of charcoal sources. I enjoy making BP for making hobby rocket engines, as well as powder for my antique BP cannon and BP gun collection. This video you made here brought back alot of memories from when I was a young man. Thats why I reached out to share with you.

@@budddove6480 for sure, i dont know if youtube lets you put your email in comments so its kitchenchemistrychemist at gmail dot com

Don't have access to flash powder. This is pretty good for overall cost <50$ for a ton of them

Flash powder

@@DannyMcKenna1122 yes, flash will give better results but depending on your mix DONT ram it- otherwise you might lose some digits

❄️🗞💊🚬🍻 most bases covered 😂

I dont have access to perchlorates unfortunately. Cant buy them here

​@@kitchen_chemistryparachute ship flares, the oxidiser from the rocket engine is ammonium perchlorate

@@Lionman-rw7xb If I can find some perchlorates, I'll make the perchlorate salt. I'm heading off to university again soon though, so the channel will become inactive for a while

ebay

Thanks man! I'd have more motivation if youtube didn't demonitize all my videos...

Painful, which country? Its very hard for me to get KNO3 aswell, but KCl and Ca(NO3)2 is readily available. I can make KNO3 in ~250g batches fairly easily and not too expensive if I buy precursors in bulk

I live in Pakistan and unfortunately due to our financial problem for me I think is expensive as I have no income what's so ever and If I had income I think it would be considered cheap in other countries Well the price of 250gm of kNO3 is about 800 or 750rs when you buy it when it is advertised at fertilizer but when you search it as KNO3 it is 750rs per 100gm which is expensive And as our country is agriculture based it is easily available but not cheap enough to be able to be bought by people like me with no allowance or no income

@@kitchen_chemistry I just earn money when Eid comes and only manage to get about 2000rs which is very good amount

@@kitchen_chemistry I was already subscribed to you are a great inspiration to me ❤️ and I have watched the vedios and I also do kitchen chemistry 🙂

sounds like a way to fill urself with small little fiberglass slivers tho

spot on

bro what 💀

Sure, I'm close to needing more I just havent made a video on it because there's already so many other videos on it

Gun powder is much more stable, and in this sense I use pressure released from gasses to make the "boom" sound. Flash powder is a 70/30 potassium chlorate to finely powered aluminum mix. It usually is mixed carefully by agitating the mix with paper. It can detonate when hit with a hammer and is much more sensitive to shock and friction. Sulfur will also cause it to detonate spontaneously (could take weeks). However, although its much more sensitive and dangerous, the mix is much louder. Sodium chlorate can be made by boiling bleach to dryness, and then you can use a double displacement to make it potassium chlorate. Aluminum powder must be ball milled or bought, although in some places its regulated. However, IMO i think its safer to make a primary such as nickel hydrazine nitrate, though now you deal with toxic chemicals. I have a video for that and its precursors

@@kitchen_chemistry thank you very much for replying.

Not yet. I havent gotten the balls to start playing around with lead nitrate for PbO2 anodes so that I can make my own chlorates for that.

Theoretically it would be safe, as BP only self-combusts at high temperatures (464C according to sciencemadness). Keep the temperature below 70 and it would probably be OK. That being said, its quite sketchy and it may just be better to dry it outside on a hot day in the sun

What compound does that form? I've never heard of putting carbon in a nitrating mix, and to be honest i'm quite skeptical that it would do anything at all
