This method will only make slow is my method: Ball mill, soft wood charcoal (willow,balsa,eastern red ceder)are a must. Good potassium nitrate and sulfur. Powders should be ground together with non sparking media for ball mill ie 1/2″ lead balls until powder is like flower.
When the liquid in the pot turns clearno white crystals add 125 grams of the milled sulfur/ (willow)charcoal. It takes a lot of mixing to get the fluffy powder mixed in. If the heat is too high, the mixture will begin to boil before you get it mixed remove from heat to prevent it overflowing the pot.
In this Mythical Pyro video I show you how to make fast burning black powder. Black powder is the heart of all pyrotechnics, so knowing how to make it is a u...
All he had to buy for this project were the 5/8″ steel balls and the casters. The mill can also be used as a rock tumbler, though the bottle isn't quite water tight asis. He does not ...
New video for you guysPlease read below! ThanksHigh resolution Photos of the project can be found here: this tutorials was created ...
Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium. Different materials are used as media, including ceramic balls,flint pebbles and stainless steel balls. An internal cascading effect reduces the material to a fine powder.
It took me less than 10 minutes of labor, and basically most of that was making the pucks and corning the powder after the ball mill did it's thing for 24 hours. If I had a larger rock tumbler I could have probably made 10, or even 20 lbs of black powder with not much labor investment.
To grind a single chemical (vs. a mix like black powder) using a ball mill, fill your mill jar half full of hardened lead or brass grinding media, and 25% full of potassium nitrate. Turn the mill on and come back in an hour.
Ball milling your black powder is the only way I know of to make the powder fine enough to nicely coat the rice hulls, and powerful enough to make good burst charge. Skylighter's TL5005 ball mill will make ounces of BP/binder at a time, and Skylighter's TL5010, one gallon ball mill will handle a 21ounce batch.
Today were putting together a ball mill, also called a rotary tumbler, jar. This is one of the most used tools in my home shop, useful for everything from we...
With the informations provided everyone should be capable of manufacturing diverse qualities of gunpowder ranging from basic, slowburning composites (not every application requires a fast product!) to black powder reaching or surpassing the performance of commercial grain.
In this video I will show you how I make and use black powder for Muzzleloaders, cap and ball revolvers, flintlocks and black powder cartridges. I also discu...
A ball mill, a type of grinder, is a cylindrical device used in grinding (or mixing) materials like ores, chemicals, ceramic raw materials and paints. Ball mills rotate around a horizontal axis, partially filled with the material to be ground plus the grinding medium. Different materials are used as media, including ceramic balls, flint pebbles ...
Black powder MUST be made in a ball mill to work properly. A ball mill is a rotating drum with dozens of lead balls inside. The 3 chemicals are loaded into the ball mill, along with the lead balls, sealed shut and allowed to rotate for anywhere between 1 and 24 hours. As the ball mill rotates, the lead balls will crush the chemicals together ...
How to make black powder using 4 basic methods, ranging from the use of only two simple screens, through the use of a starroller, hydraulic press, and/or a ballmill. ... I ball mill four 20ounce batches of milldust BP, two batches using pine charcoal, two more using commercial airfloat. Each batch has 15 ounces of potassium nitrate, 3 ...
Step 1: Parts and Tools Below are the parts and tools that I used to make this ball mill. However, keep in mind that these are more guidelines than anything, and I encourage you to experiment with different sizes, parts, and designs. Parts: 1 length of PVC pipe (I used 6" of 2" diameter pipe) 1 PVC flat end cap 1 PVC male screw adapter
Using marbles as a ball mill for ball milling black powder has the potential to yield excellent results. The process is slower than using lead balls, but the results are the same. You should always use nonsparking materials such as ceramic or stainless steel when milling balls. Iron has a bad reputation for being corrosive due to its reactivity.
As far as placement of your mill, the ideal distance is probably around 150ft or more away from any buildings of any sort. If you can barricade it that's even better (things like sandbags). Just make sure you don't block off air to the motor. When making black powder there is always a chance for it to go off.
Step 2: Mix in the proper ratio of sulfur and charcoal. Step 3: Add isopropyl alcohol to charcoal/sulfur and mix thoroughly. Step 4: Measure 1/4 cup (40 ml) of water for every 1/2 cup (100 grams) of Saltpeter aka potassium nitrate in an old pan. Add your potassium nitrate. Bring to a boil. Stir continuously.
Stainless Steel and Ceramic Milling Media But, I must emphasize there is an ongoing discussion and debate about what is the "safest" media to use when milling. If one is milling only individual chemicals like charcoal or potassium nitrate, then any of these media are safe for crushing it.
