- Ingredients:
Charcoal ( made from the tree Rhus chinensis)
Saltpeter ( Potassium nitrate)

The traditional method of extracting saltpeter for gunpowder is no more practice due to rapid changes of modern advancement.

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.
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 .
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.
Now I have watched this I am probably on some police watch list.
What odd music
Sulphur is the third component of blackpowder. I missed seeing it being added.
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.
i recommend 80% nitrate, 5% sulfur 15%charcoal
Fake: no sulfur, and that open fire's asking for it.
It's been 60 years since I heard that tune. Thanks for bringing back a Sunday morning memory from my childhood.
12 gauge shells reloaded with black powder just works like wonder.
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.
Crazy 😮open fire cooking gunpowder.
Love the high precision measurements!
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.
the music makes it like a children's arts and crafts
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
