Hello

today i was trying to make some gunpowder/blackpowder, just like 100 grams. but when i was done i tested some of it but i did not burn very fast, i just melted and made some smoke and sparkled a little.

The way i did it was:

75g KNO3 and 15g charcoal and 10g sugar on a pan with some water.

When all the water was gone and it was dry, it was a rocky powder, and i made it a little bit finer with a hammer.

what can i do to make it burn faster?

thanks.

That is not the correct recipe for gunpowder.  Gunpowder has no sugar in it.

I know, but i have no sulfur and there is no way i can get it: it's iliegal where i live.

Some things strike me as amusing

Very interesting

Sugar is implied as a substitute for sulfur

Pounding on something you think could be explosive with a hammer to break it up in smaller pieces

I must be missing something

The sugar is so when it blows up in your face it tastes good.

Anyone know how I increase the burn rate?
