Nice :) Just remember with these kinds of fuse they pretty much become like quick match even when lightly confined. Or at least in my experience. I learned that the not so fun way when a firecracker I was using similar fuse with almost lessened my 10 digits lol
What did you confine it in? I've only used mine for gunpowder firecrackers and for a few smoke bombs. Don't really want to make a firecracker with an energetic, too scared to compress it lol. The goal is to get the loudest boom while maintaining ten fingers.
@@kitchen_chemistryit was simply confined in the actual housing of the firecracker if that makes sense. It was like a cardboard container that had about 2-3inch of fuse outside and about 3 more inches inside the cardboard until it touched the flash. The fuse that was confined inside the cardboard was the stuff that went off like quickmatch. I guess it was from particles of bp on the outside of the string confining and lighting all the rest instead of the whole fuse burning so quick. I also noticed that sometimes sparks can fall down from the fuse and ignite further parts of it if it’s standing upright which is sketch. But for simple fireworks like, fountains, rockets etc this fuse works great But for things like strong firecrackers etc or things that need max reliably good ol visco is what you should use, at least in my eyes :)
Fair enough, i see the sparking happening. I tilt it on its side. But you're right, a visco fuse would be ideal. Im investing in some equipment for making a MMO anode, and potentially a lead oxide anode for the electrolytic synthesis of perchlorates. I believe you need perchlorates for a visco fuse correct?
@@kitchen_chemistry I think commercially nowadays yes perchlorates are used for visco fuse. Though if your planning on making some visco esq fuse then chlorates will work aswell.
For the people who are baking their fuses, make sure to put a cup of vinegar into the oven in heat-resistant glass at 200 degrees for an hour after taking out your fuses, or your oven WILL smell like blackpowder. Learnt this the hard way. The fuses worked great though
Your basically making a rocket candy fuse and coating it with gunpowder. I have alot of experience making fuses and if you would like to try my technique mix finely ground kn03 and Mg powder that is around 20 micron or smaller in 50/50 mix, wet cotton string throughout with 91% isopropyl alcohol and squeeze most out leaving a little. Put mix in large 1 gallon zip lock bag and add cotton string. Simply combine and mix, with no messy hands and doesn't require any oven just let it sit out overnight . If you want I wrap completed fuse tightly around a old liscense plate and hang it close, not too close to heater . It's super stiff and reliable I do like adding an additional sprinkle of magnesium metal powder to my hand as I'm wrapping completed fuse onto liscense plate for additional Pyro coat. Another way is the old stand by a red road flare string and acetone mixed similar in a bag adding a little wax dissolved in acetone at end to firm up
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
if you remove the sulphur and do 70/30 yes, kclo3 and sulfur can spontaneously combust due to sulphur acidifying over exposure to air. Also be careful because kclo3 is a lot more sensitive to impact... Also how in the world do you have chlorates and not nitrates??

@@TheFireGoose Thanks for the info, once I get some stuff I'll be sure to experiment around with a good reliable visco fuse

adds a little extra flavour to the turkey you cook next
200 Fahrenheit or Celsius?
@@AdrianÅsheim celcius
@@AdrianÅsheim 200F (93C), 200C would have the vinegar boil
Nothing wrong with the smell of B.P.

That'd make a pretty good fuse for sure. This was the best fuse I found using only BP and KNO3
@@kitchen_chemistrycould you make a video doing this recipe would love to see it before i blow somethinh up and love your content bro
This channel is so good, I'm gonna have to sub for future videos lol
Use the plastic film methode it is for me the best methode "and it even work under water !"
Hey for the cooking and baking can it be done with a gas oven and a gas stove?

can i use kclo3 intead of kno3
if you remove the sulphur and do 70/30 yes, kclo3 and sulfur can spontaneously combust due to sulphur acidifying over exposure to air. Also be careful because kclo3 is a lot more sensitive to impact...
Also how in the world do you have chlorates and not nitrates??
@@kitchen_chemistry oh where I’m from its easier o get kclo3
@@kitchen_chemistry the way we make black powder is 6 kclo3 5 charcoal and 2 sulfer lol not really percentages like you
Does the string have to be cotton?
yes, it needs to be a material that absorbs easily
You can actually use lots of different type strings.
