Quick Indoor Test - Mg/Al Sparkler
Date: 2004-10-31
Description
I found, quite by accident, that the Perchlorate based e-match composition which didn't work bridgeless made an excellent sparkler composition.
I coated some onto a bamboo kebab stick.
16 Potassium Perchlorate
3 Magnesium (-60 mesh, flake)
1 Aluminium (-40 mesh, granular)
1 Aluminium (16 um, bright flake)
1 Sulfur
NC lacquer binder.
Comments
Quite attractive.
The Magnesium and Aluminium makes pretty sparks, a mixture of silver and gold. The lampblack an attractive effect of its own, but somewhat hidden by the brillance of the sparks.
A bit smokey for indoor use though.
