Strobe rocket fuel . Making/Testing/Launching

Note: Cotton clothing must be weared when making Strobe fuel , plastic bowls / plastic spoons are a must. Due to the high amount of metal in the mix , strobe fuel is sensitive to static discharges , considering this , large batches are not recommended.
strobe fuel can be stored for a long time. double ziplock bag and storing in a controlled climate room is the way to go.

Man I really enjoyed that one! I absolutely love your videos Man from making the fuels to testing, for us pyros this is everything we want to see and more. I really appreciate step by step when it comes to this strobe stuff. Many videos on strobe making but a lot are lacking in specifics. But you got it all, because of these videos you save me a lot of time, energy, money and materials, making your own strobe can be a finicky process to get just right. At this point you've done hundreds of tests with different mag/Al ratios, not to mention you actually take the time to answer our questions, I really appreciate that! Thanks.

Nice video, thank you! I hope you are well. I know it's getting humid and the AP and B-SUL are both hydroscopic. Should I dry them in the oven? Will moisture slow down the reaction? Thanks, FP.....Keep up the good work!😁

@Pyroflorida Ай бұрын

Yes, you want your AP and ba sulfate dry , place them in the oven a 250 for an hour or you can also use a infrared lamp , moisture will affect the ratio definitely

When you r drying your water granulated fuels with a heat lamp do u also apply gentle airflow with a small fan or is it unnecessary? I know people say its best to dry as fast as possible for good power so was just wondering, nice vid to 😁

@Pyroflorida 17 сағат бұрын

@@I_Like_CATOs I never rush the drying part of it , I usually water/alchohol granulate, then let it seat overnight on a temp controlled room then getting the fuel under heat lamp for a few hours Is always a goog idea to weight the batch before granulation , and weight it again after the heat lamp process, if is still any humidity still on the fuel will be reflected on the weight.

Ur missing some steps my boy ..are u adding Red Iron Oxide??....KClO4 ? Nail polish ..wax ... ???GRANULATED???

@Pyroflorida Ай бұрын

@bigray7647 this is a strobe fuel video. Not a whistle fuel video nothing is missing .. strobe fuel doesn't use red iron oxide at all like whistles do. The pleghmatizer on this formula is the nitrocellulose laquer , that eliminates the need of using wax or oils. Anyway a 1% oil can be added in order to desensitize the mix a little if desired, but is not necessary

@Pyroflorida Ай бұрын

@bigray7647 also kclo4 is not used I strobes as well , primary oxidizers are AP and pot dichromate. There is a formula that I developed time ago that includes only 5% kclo4 in order to slow down the cycle but is a non common formula

@mohammedfalah4575 there is only one reason why people is so focused in learning how to make their own , it's because pyro companies doesn't make them, and the only way to enjoy them is by making your own , strobes are considered ilegal for comercial sales , but isn't illegal to make your own and launch them . That's what I heard from many very experienced pyros . Sorry if I'm wrong.
