Do you mean Asclepias syriaca as Milkweed? It is a common invasive species in Central Europe, we have a lot of it here, I use it mostly as good edible plant, I like the cooked flowers and young shoots and I use the fibers from the stem as sinew replacement and the fluff for starting a fire, but I haven't thought of nitrating it yet. Interesting!
Im working on a very simmilar video! Which is a continuation to my woodpulp video. Actually it is better than cotton. The reason i think is the shorter fibers. Also it might be acting as a capillary to almost suck up the acid. It is supposed to have a higher N% compared to cotton thats why its used in smokless powders.
Smokeless power still uses cotton, some may also use wood. The reason the wood has more snap to it is because of nitration of lignans. Not only that there may nitration levels than can be achieved when nitrating cotton. The most common way of making gun cotton ( nitrocellulose ) is the weakest version. Nitrocellulose with a low degree of nitration is applied in paints, lacquers, varnishes, inks, etc., while nitrocellulose with a high degree of nitration (>12.5%) is used in explosives. Within the nitrocellulose containing explosives are included dynamites and propellants. www.researchgate.net/publication/264081362_NITROCELLULOSE_IN_PROPELLANTS_CHARACTERISTICS_AND_THERMAL_PROPERTIES
@@darianballard2074 that makes sense. I was looking at some old ww2 era files about NC and single based propellants. And it said wood and other plant fibers achive a higher degree of nitration than cotton does and it creates a much higher quality smokless powder for millitary aplications. It also may be used because its cheaper and can be produced on a larger scale.
Hello Darian!! How's going? Good Video!!!! Two questions, why not ice bath while nitration? And that nitric acid is made by yourself? Is bit yellow. Now you can mix that nitrated cotton with egdn, and you Will have dynamite. Best regards
Thanks and its going okay. I don't use an ice bath because you need some heat to make this reaction work and yes I make the Nitric acid. Here is a video on how its made. www.bitchute.com/video/RmEAthmxztgK/ As to mixing nitrocellulose with EDGN that makes a plastic not dynamite. Dynamite is nitroglycerin mixed with donations earth and some times uses a little EDGN in cold environments. Thanks for the questions and comments.

Cool
Where can I find those nylon joints from nitric acid video?
They're not nylon they're PTFE ( teflon ) www.avogadro-lab-supply.com/products/24-40-ptfe-joint-sleeves-3-pcs?variant=34426502545563¤cy=USD&gclid=Cj0KCQiAkuP9BRCkARIsAKGLE8W3HT-ISdRq15LyYWrpBjvrvCKaAUHPFx0gYFBWq9Pih20LOZU6b1caArRTEALw_wcB

@@SoulfulSolid6 Thanks
Great to see you on YT!
Awesome video man!
Thanks
@@darianballard2074 NP!
I wanna see the smokeless powders bid lol
Good work. I'm just about to nitrate the filter paper.
That will work very well.
sulphuric & nitric acid = Aqua Regis. if ya was making nitro-glycerine then it would be temperature sensitive.
Yup but not this. :)
No nitric acid and HCl is aqua regia.
Giyn thanks for the comment but nope, but your right about making nitroglycerine being temp sensitive
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_regia
@@darianballard2074 Have you ever made nitroglycerin before? I have never made it before but might give it a small scale try one day. I prefer ETN ;)
What's the better flash powder 7/3 or 9/1?
That would depend on what you're mixing and what its used for. Also weather or not you're using a blasting cap to set it off or just a fuse.

This is plastic made from EDGN and nitrocellulose. www.bitchute.com/video/4Cy4HJfwWEaR/
@@darianballard2074 WoW It is cool make your own reagants!. What do you use to dilute more or least 68%; distilled water or another liquid?
@@longimanusisurus132 I only use distilled water.
Whoa there he is, GTSY brother👍
