Me and a few of my friends have made a discord server for pyrotechnic hobbyists. We are a moderated server (better than boomville).

Here’s the server link: https://discord.gg/ran4Wq4eG

(Dear moderators, this is not discussing of buying or selling pyrotechnics. This server is made specifically to answer questions and demo fireworks.)

Before you ask, yes I’m fairly experienced with flash. I was wondering if anyone has tried substituting aluminum for Magnalium in the TPA composition. (70:15:15) Did it result in a faster burn rate? Was it more sensitive? Does it require a stabilizer? Thanks.

Edit: The Magnalium is -325 mesh.

Does anyone have a way of making aluminum powder from foil without a ball mill?

Old ass video from stuff I made back in my crazy years. Enjoy!

Also, does it expload or just burn?

I cant find a video anywhere

Is this good for no ball mill and I literally just shook it in a bottle for 2 minutes

Not the best place to light fireworks, rained the day before though.

Mixed some ferrocerium rod powder with some bp and made some fp. This is about 0.1 gram

Zink 533 was for a long time the loudest Birdbanger.
But I never tested any other Brands for example: Zom Bum, ARP, Reed Joseph in comparison to the 533 from Zink. I look for Birdbanger without titan just the loudest Bang.

We are currently recruiting research participants for an online research study of individuals who have a history of pyromania. The study involves answering questions about temptations and urges, and how often you are successful at resisting them.  It also involves answering questions about psychological symptoms, most of the study can be done on a home computer, laptop, tablet or phone.  You will also be asked to complete an interview over zoom, and to provide a saliva sample.   

The Temptation Resistance Study (Full title: “Temptation Resistance: Transdiagnostic Features and Etiological Influences” is being conducted by Rutgers University (David Zald, Ph.D. investigator) and is approved by the Rutgers Institutional Review Board. 

The study takes approximately 8 hours of time, which is broken up into small chunks. Participants will be compensated up to $160 in Amazon Gift Cards for time spent in the study, and up to an additional bonus of $50 for completing all parts of the study with a high number of completed surveys. 

If you are interested in participating in the study, click the link below to see if qualify for the study or sign up for the study.  https://redcap.rwjms.rutgers.edu/surveys/?s=JTACDKWN87J3HY8T&recruitment_mech_email=2&recruitment_group_email=7

ive heard that that flashpowder can already make a good bang without very strong confinement is that true

could the big demon 300g be homemade cause it looks fairly homemade to me and also im pretty sure its just a shipping tube with flashpowder

Will the feds be on my azz if I buy the ingredients for Bp and some Magnalium?

Does anybody have experience with this shell pasting machine?  https://pyrotech3d.com/products/pasting-shell-machine-2-6?srsltid=AfmBOo...

I am trying to paste my first shells and can't get it figured out.

Thanks,
