Should have sifted your chemicals in a 40 or fifty mesh screen instead of that fine mesh which looks like a hundred. But another hint, don’t use was use vasaline or baby oil will work just perfect.
I use Potassium benzoate air milled, Potassium perchlorate, red iron oxide, and a touch of Ti/AL powder for a nice long silvery tail......I make it on a warm sunny day, so I can let it air dry in the sun till the powder turns from Red...to...Pink!
@@E85_STI years ago I used to purchase perchlorate from Firefox in Idaho, but it had a strange odor and the whistle sound was either horrible or no whistle sound at all. A friend through the PGI told me to buy from Skylighter instead! Besides, FireFox is restrictions no more than 1 lb of oxidizers unless you have a federal permit! Screw that! Aluminum dark pyro, one does need a permit.but the Fed's will come around and visit YOU! So screw that too! I'll just stick to making whistle rockets and firecrackers out of whistle powder! Makes a decent loud BANG! ....
Don’t mix ti with it because it will ruin your tools. Press it first then at the end put just a little ti in and then a little more mix But you want some fast ass whistles use sodium sysilate. I didn’t spell that right but close enough.
Naphtha is getting hard to find. Hardware stores, Walmart and Lowe's dont carry it anymore! I was told to use xylol as a substitute for Naphtha from a paint manufacturer for one of their products. But I think using acetone would be better than either of those two because the rapid evaporation!
@@ngarmy6602 ruclips.net/video/WHZYWriJhIY/видео.html So the best flash to make is the Dark German Al powder and I have a video of how that works on the channel.
Honestly I haven’t worked much with strobe but there’s a guy his channel name is Running man and if you search sali whistle fuel rocket the name will come up he will know as he makes strobes.
@@E85_STI no, i was j hooking it outside the fuel grain. It barely touches. Someone told me it is due to high oil content which is at 4%. Have you encountered it before? For reference, i have it posted in my RUclips shorts
@@blackpowderMix I’ll check it out but I use wax and have no issues as seen in my videos. None of mine have catoed off the launch and if so it’s only been like 1 rocket.
@@E85_STI what tooling are you using? I use a diy spindle cored at 1.5inch for my 2oz rocket. I later found out that benny red iron oxide mix is too weak for short spindles. I will make a new spindle that will have a 3inch core.
@@blackpowderMix so I actually made two different rockets one short and one long and the short core still worked but it runs out of thrust faster and makes a loud whistle in the air vs the cored that will travel until it hits the solid fuel then will whistle. These are deep core so the bigger 5/8 cohete ones I make perform like this. ruclips.net/video/tYYVq6h3fAU/видео.htmlsi=jzRrEWe5aeGnt3h5
Let say you don’t add the wax and naphtha while you screen the dry powder. It will more than likely explode on you because it’s friction, pressure, and shock sensitive. The naphtha and wax keep the mix wet while screening to avoid it lighting off in your hand.
i use potassium chlorate,sodium benzoate red iron oxide and parafin wax. yet did not whistle but it explode in a matter of sec..can anyone suggest what would i do to make whistle and flew up above like a rocket
I have a video somewhere on my channel on how to place the fuse but how are you putting the fuse into your rocket if that’s what you made? I’ve done a review also on how to make a screamer which only makes sound so you could test your fuel on that to see if it works or it could just be too fast to burn.

is it safe to press a rocket using the fuel after all of the naphtha has dried out from it?

Did it make it louder or change the speed? Mine is very loud and I have videos on how they sound and the speed on my channel.

What is single ,allaround name for that naphta, pleas help ?
Is that nitro thinner ?
The brand is “klean strip” You can grab all kind of solvents from them

@@timh.2137 You can also use Coleman camping fuel, it's the same, another name for it is white gas.
Smart man love it ❤️👍
Thank you for that I appreciate it

hello Can you make rocket strobe fuel without ammonium perchlorate? which oxide to use to replace and have the same effect?
Honestly I haven’t worked much with strobe but there’s a guy his channel name is Running man and if you search sali whistle fuel rocket the name will come up he will know as he makes strobes.
@@E85_STI ok
Thanks
Hey man! Do you know why my whistle rocket strobe or pop when it launch. I use 70:30:1:4 na.benny fe2o3 mineral oil.
Are you sticking the fuse into the core when you fuse it?

Why is it nescessary to granulate whistle mix and put in the naphta and wax? Why cant dry powder be used?
Let say you don’t add the wax and naphtha while you screen the dry powder. It will more than likely explode on you because it’s friction, pressure, and shock sensitive. The naphtha and wax keep the mix wet while screening to avoid it lighting off in your hand.
I put my oxy and perc together in the blender and I use Parafin oil instead of wax.
You have a death wish don't you!

Passing it through the KOOL - LAND - DAR !
Say it with me . . . Kah - lenn - derr 😂
Sorry about that the yellow post comment was for a total different video
It’s cool I’ve done that by accident before myself but yeah I went back to check just to make sure but too easy no worries
Thank you for this video
No problem and also there is another ratio you can use which is 74/22.5 potassium perc/sodium benzoate that can work but I haven’t tried it yet.
@@E85_STI I used this method as described. Works great for me!
If you use potassium hydrogen phthalate, the thrust will be louder and better
KHP sounds 👍
