I normally wrap them so if they should explode they won't send shrapnel everywhere

I was teaching my nephew how to make them

This is from last year

It's just a powdered fuel... Not solid

Wow that flew really high

Yeah, my powder engines work well, but I want that lift sucka

Ammonium perchlorate

And aluminum poweder

Almost double the impulse

This was the most recent failure

Lol

The flying IED

If the nozzel had been a little larger probs would have been fine. It was also top heavy, hence, the flying left after it took off

But that was just a test

Once I get it right, it will have a lot of lift

Dang you should really use a electric ignition system

Yeah, whatevs lol

I like the old fashioned fuse or even a sparkler

Lol

If you need help building one I can help, I literally do all pyrotechnics behind a blast sheild

I have an electric igniter, but I need to get plugs and the little wires

Unless they can be made

Yes they can be made

You just need nichrome wire and matches

I use 3D printed plugs, but tape can work too

Where can you get the wire?

I just hate buying anything I don't have to. And fuse is cheap lol. But so are wire and matches

After I perfect this, I will move on to more advanced fuels

For now I wanna get this right

I could probably google how to make them and where to get the wire

I just watched a video how to do it

Just gotta see where I can get the wire

This is what I use

It glow red hot under 3 volts over 1 inch

Gotcha. The wire is cheap. I like instant gratification. I wonder if they sell it at any brick and mortar buildings
