@@E85_STI Hey, I reached out. I suppose the message is in request and pending to be approved

@@E85_STI Bro, still didn't hear from you

@@jeavenstubin5112 thank you for that and I have a video on it. I do make the next size up which is the 5/16 rockets they are slightly larger and make for a fun rocket. I use whistle fuel in the 5/16 but for the 1/4 don’t hammer too hard because the tune can split so I use a rubber mallet lightly tapping to pack the clay and bp. You can add a remote to these easily and I did get some of those little 1/4 paper plugs off pyro but idk if I used them in this video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJqViNCpnL-6eKM.htmlsi=up9HIwMkL6gs5YWV

@@matthewhollingsworth3360 what do you mean?

@@atomicskull6405 I’ve thought about that I do have some 3lb 3/4” tubes they are more for rockets but I always forget to do it when the season rolls around

@@buckygoldstein9256 yeah some people use a jack and lift their cars or similar to get pressure and my press isn’t enough pressure to turn my pucks into an almost glass like a 20 ton but it works well enough for my purposes. So did you break them up and do a burn test?

@@E85_STI They're drying at the moment. I started with 400 grams of material (chemicals) and got 12 pucks which weigh 403 grams. Not sure how to account for that as there was some loss from powder sticking to pans, etc. It must be the water I added. I'll weight them again after they dry. How long do you let them dry? I did a burn test after 12 hours of milling and another after 24 hours. The extra time shows an improvement. This is a first time for me and I'm sure I'll come up with better techniques. The die I'm using is made from 2 inch PVC and ABS tubing with a couple of 2 inch round disks, 1 an aluminum disk from the internals of an old disk drive and the other a piece of 2 inch brass that I got from the thrift store for a buck. It looks like it was some machinist student's project, or maybe just end stock waste. I wanted to see if I could even do this before spending a lot of money on equipment that I might not use. ;-)

@@TheMulletMafia1 so back when I use to buy the stuff it wasn’t an issue but now sites are limiting people from buying the two chemicals together so who knows now but I’ve never made much of it and I don’t travel or sell anything when I did make it but I haven’t made anything in a while

@@E85_STI people say it’s legal and people say it isn’t. It’s kinda like a who knows kinda deal ain’t it?

@@TheMulletMafia1 so it isn’t a problem in small quantities of course and not making it for manufacturing but lots of people make it on KZfaq with no issues so if you do make it do it like 10 grams at a time that’s what I did to be safe because even 10g can take your hand off and in my videos I’m using under a gram to fill these little 1/4” tubes.

@@cleophusfowler I know what you mean by heat exchanger which is the evaporator coil but the evaporator provides the cold air simultaneously the warmer return air from the house is absorbed into the refrigerant which actually carries the heat from the house to the condenser where it’s expelled with the use of the OFM and that vapor condenses back and and the process starts over. Of course there’s the TXV and compressor. This little water heat exchanger couldn’t cool a room but can help in a small space.

@@E85_STI Yes that's correct. I would like to know your thoughts on powering an icybreeze using a 12v lawn mower battery. I attend a lot of car shows and would like to extend my run time significantly over the 10ah, 12v battery supplied. I saw a 35ah 12v battery for a lawn tractor for 69 bucks on line. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you for your time.

@@larryfoster2628 so I have two different 12 v pumps for it the faster one I have because at the time I had a beater car I was using before I fixed the ac so I had this one that I would only use for 30 mins or so daily but for the extended use like at the beach I could swap out the pumps. With the faster moving water it would remove more heat in the car especially on hot Texas summer days at 100+ degrees that’s the only reason I did it and got the icy breeze. Fast forward to now I haven’t used my icy breeze in over a year but it stays in my house well preserved. You are right though about the ice with the faster pump.

@@lilpn0yxtc966 honestly I don’t remember that being a problem but yes some of the 12 volt pumps have larger openings but I would have to look at mine and see what I used but the pump on my sits on the bottom of the chest behind that plastic piece for the tube

Try 60/30/10, it's a slower mix for rockets and works well for me. I also ball mill my mix for 12 hours or so then wet with 50/50 alcohol water and granulate through a screen to get an even mix.

@@OBS.Rey__ I got it from a fireworks vendor off Facebook but you can find it if they have it in stock on fireworks cookbook but my powder has gotten much faster with eastern red cedar per bedding from Walmart. I make the charcoal myself and I’ve posted a video on how to do it.

@@tonyf.8858 yeah both of us lol idk if it will

@@karstpyrod9992 I have a buzz but it’s one of the bigger ones so I’ll have to see if I have a smaller buzz toy

Yeah other places are cheaper when I was in Georgia I used to go to phantom and they were open year round and had the little moon travelers but here in Texas apparently they are illegal and you can’t get them but I’ve seen many places have cheaper prices. I’m going to a new store tomorrow to check out the prices but I still have 20 shells left since I didn’t use them all. Not to mention I still have 6 left from the Excalibur and growlers

Yeah it is but now I’m back on Cobb and I still have the ecutek it’s pretty much still new but my tuner uses Cobb AP so I had to go back

lol so it was an empty pile it was just a mound of sand

So I do use ice blocks I got these two silicone molds off Amazon and it’s as big as a bread loaf pan and I use about 4 and it’s lasts much longer than just filling it with ice cubes. The way these works is it circulates the ice water in the heat exchanger so the warmer water melts the ice the air doesn’t do too much to the ice but the styrofoam might help it but I haven’t tried that

@@E85_STI Thank You for replying back ,I want to try the styrofoam soon ,Let me know if you try it first ,Take Care

@@gregschultz2029 so here’s the one I made before I bought the icy breeze and this one outperforms the icy breeze and has a lot more airflow but it’s bulky. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6yKgayq2pyWqGQ.htmlsi=6Ic_70hYzMDg1vCG

So I’m out of the Army now and am retired but there’s a voltage step down on Amazon I used it for another project and you can use it for this because the 12V is the recommended power and it’s good you aren’t trying to just throw the 18v on as that will wear things out much faster.

@@E85_STI nice, I’m retired Army as well! I’ll check it out, there is a deal going on right now that throws in a free 6ah battery and charger so I might just take advantage of that deal.

@@E85_STI I sent a reply earlier but it apparently didn’t save. I’m retired Army as well. What do you think about this deal, it’s the a/c unit with a free icy block, 6ah battery/charger, and the 110-220 power supply for $420 out the door. That seems like a good deal, what do you think?

So mine is effective for very fast cooling and air flow because I’ve used a meter to test and it was blowing so much CFM compared to the icy but the ice does go much faster on mine so I get cold air for an hour or so if I use the fan on 100% it doesn’t kill my battery but the ice melts faster due to the larger volume of air

I believe it should still work as it’s still a metal but it could affect the burn rate or it might not change much so it’s worth a shot.

Tony!! lol yeah for real they are a nice touch for some sound and I really like that BB gun that you are talking about as I really wanted that as it uses co2 and shoots way faster than these blasters.

Nice Gel Blaster.

@@NicoleLira-yj2lk thank you for that I hope you are doing well

So what if I do it 100 times

Incorrect, granulating gunpowder more than once will make it the same speed everytime. The amount of time that you have rolled the dry gunpowder then granulate it, that will increase the speed of the black powder. Rolling the gunpowder for 1 day will have a decent speed but if you roll the drymix for several days like i do then your gunpowder will be extremely fast.

I feel like it would change the color/brightness

Im just getting into the hobby but seeing the effects of a lot of the things ive seen changing those components change the brightness and color 90% of the time. For instance if you made it with aluminum, i know someone who would prefer titanium because they like that its a more clear and bright burn.

Thank you which amperage of the dewalt 20V did you use? Does it matter?

Do you mean without removing the downpipe? If so then it’s very hard to get a tool in there to loose the two bolts holding the plate in. So this setup is old of course and now I’m rotated and big turbo fully built motor so the air pumps are useless when the power goes up. If you are stock motor and turbo you could just leave them.

@@E85_STI I have a stock engine. I can't delete the pipes. I need to add a closed gasket between the pipes and engine. That's why I asked can I do it without removing the downpipe. those exhaust bolts always brake off lol.

@@thomaswahahauw560 yeah they do and for a while I left the one pipe that’s hard to get out and it didn’t affect anything. Now you will a tune for the delete but it cleans up the bay a bit. Since this video I’ve deleted the coolant expansion tank as well and it makes it look less congested in the bay.

So depending on the size of the shell for expand of you are doing a 1.5” ball shell then 6-10 grams of lift will get you height. I took apart a 5” 60 grams shell and the lift was about 16 grams If I remember but the rocket will use more fuel than the lift same with the shell the inside will have way more powder than the lift

@@E85_STI Thanks for the information ♥️

Yeah it’s fun but like you I have to dig my stuff out again soon for the 4th of July because I haven’t been making anything since the new year

@@E85_STI Its been a bit longer for me. I'm guessing maybe 3yrs😫
