very practical use of aluminum powder, if you mix with fresh slurry of cement with fine sand and some fiberglass it turns foamy concrete to make light foamed concrete just place on a mold and you have a very light moulded piece of art the cement reacts with aluminum creating millions of bubbles and makes concrete light

ArtisanTony bought a coffee grinder for 12 bucks and it croaked within first batch of aluminum powder i made. Didn’t really get a fine enough mesh to ball mill during the process. It’s just better to buy it.
Just a thought for anyone-But first let me say I have never used this type of Alu for my pyrotechnics I buy my Alu in many different grades- with that said after you screen the fine powder out what is left on the screen is very useful in fireworks! for making twinkling type effects long lasting sparks for stars but like I said I have not used this method for my ALU the best "Home made ALU that I have used is to take a bar or chunk of ALU and using a grinding wheel in water to make the powder it works VERY well for slo flash as well as any other pyro mix calling for 40-60 mesh powder just thought I would throw that out there for anyone who might be interested thanks for posting your video
Very nice. Have you ever had a problem with immediate oxygenation? I have been trying to make a fine powder from magnesium shavings. I used a ball mill, didn't burp it at all, ran it for 2 days. When I went to retrieve my powder, I poured out everything into a sifter with news paper under it to catch the powder, as soon as it passed through the mesh, it spontaneous combusted, this could have been a very bad situation, fortunately I was able to not get burned or burn anything worth mentioning. The only reason I bring this up, is after doing more research on what I did wrong, it seems that very fine aluminum will do the same thing, just not as easily. I suppose that by using the coffee grinder, the aluminum is constantly being exposed to oxygen, so that it oxidizes as it's ground(just a small amount actually ends up being aluminum oxide, while most stays in the metal form we are after. I have seen enough to know that it can still combust after or during the griding process. Thanks for the video and info. Stay safe, stay strong.
@@darianatanassof3051 yes, burb the tumbler at least once an hour, use a bit of charcoal to cover the powder in a fine coating......it can still self ignite, has to be a better way than paying for it already milled. How about you? Any ideas or thoughts on this? Take care Freind.
IF you use a blender & a Ball Roller with ceramic or glass marbles, then you will get powdered aluminium dust, that will be the consistency of talc powder.
Robert Murray Smith did all that in videos five years ago. He first.made his own ball roller. There was a danger of the unoxidised aluminium dust spontaneously igniting though.
@@Philip-hv2kc and that is why you dont use anything that can create a spark, hence the glass or ceramic marbles, to minimize the risk of a spark. I dont have the equipment or the space to make such a roller anymore. But I have made aluminum powder.
just a tip for coffee grinder use , shake it up and down youll keep the contents down with the blades more, although aluminum might be to light anyway haven't tried this video
If you mix this into paint, I believe it will make the paint a more long lasting paint. This is what I am researching. Using such a thing in outdoor paint, to create an even more durable and long lasting paint for outdoors. Another method I think may be possible, in small batches, use a mortar and pestle, but add some very find sand into the mortar and pestle, and rub it around with gentle or moderate force, it should ground the foil into a fine powder, and yeah probably wear a face mask while doing it, and do it outside. After this it should be possible to use a kind of winnowing technique to separate the sand from the aluminium powder.
It's black do to more surface area for the aluminium to oxidise. That's why it should always be in a sealed container so it won't oxidise in air. If you have filings of magnesium or zinc you can use that as well. For thicker parts like your chassis, you may just need to file aluminium off it
this is really lovely.thank you.now tell me.please with what liquid to mix the powder to make it really mirror color liquid? i hope to transform it into paint
If you put your end product into a (Harbor Freight $35.00) ball mill for about 5 days, you will end up with aluminum powder you can make extremely powerful flash powder with. thanks for the video. Thumbs up
Yes I know it can but It could take up to 3 weeks of non stop grinding whit opening the mill every 12 hour to get the powder down to airfloat powder under 2 micron
It's a coffee grinder, I picked it up for around $10AUD for a cheap one and I doubt iron would work, unless you had iron foil. If you are after iron powder I would suggest getting iron shaving and then blending them but even that I don't know if it would work
That's awesome. I need to do this to fine stainless steel wool if possible? I want to patch some stainless steel knife handles as an experiment to see how it looks? If it'll hold? Etc.
just a random guy (bit late lol) yes i would seperate it bcuz of the fact that leftover rust/aluminum can be stuck in small creveases and alum + iron oxide = thermite and you dont want it the heat generated from the blades on the metal to possibly ignite the thermite.
i was brought here from a video showing how to make tannerite. a few videos i saw a while back said that you need to be really careful when grinding this because they said it could explode once it comes into contact with fresh air right after you grind it. is this true?
@sotojoe8 What Brian wrote were the ingredients for the Thermite. When ignited they burn at a temperature of about 4000 F. My comment meant to be a pun actually, lol.
I mean, pleanty of people have done that. It's *just* a chemical that can melt small amounts of steel, and is used instead of black powder for mining...
you can get different mesh screens on ebay pretty cheaply, I got a 12 inch square of 75 micron not sure on the mesh, but the same guy had similar sizes of sheets all the way down to 25microns, which I think was 550 mesh? anyway get a batch of different sizes mount in a case over each other and sort the particles, regrind anything not small enough :) I used sililcon sealant and 2liter bottles to glue them into the tops (make cheap funnels) and filtered both bismuth powder and graphite powder I made this way, very ingenious :)
Sir pure aluminum ka powder kaise melt hota hain???? hm aluminum ka powder kis temparature par melt kare @@kya isake saath kuchh aur metal milaya jaata hain yaa koi flux.........plz tell me
How to extract rust: 1.) get wire brush 2.) get rusty iron or steel 3.) vigorously wipe rust metal with wire brush 4.) collect the dust aka red iron oxide
Thanks for showing me how to make aluminum powder so i can make my termite to break a padlock that i lost a key for and it's locked to my bike so i can't use it until i break it Lmao
It is explosive at high temperatures, so you would need to add something to it to keep it from blowing up. Like clear glue or something. Also, the color is really dull, so other things would probably work better.
What happens if I put this aluminium power on a clay something (sculpture, pot, etc...) and then burn it?Will it just melt and cover the object as I think it will, or something else? (like for example the kiln is much hotter than the melting point of aluminium (we sometimes decorate stuff with glass and it melts) so for example it overheats? what happens then? What else could happen?)
Hey uh I spilled a shit ton of this stuff in my backyard and I would like to clean it up but I don't want to inhale any. Any respirator recommendations?
I did my aluminium powder in the same way.But I noticed a difference before and after: the conductivity. The aluminium kitchen foil its normally conductive (verified with multimeter), but after the grinding, it becomes an insulator. Why?.
Nice observation. Aluminium foil is a continuous solid in the metallic state. As such, it is quite conductive. Period. Very fine aluminium powder is finely subdivided and - like foil - covered in a very thin layer of aluminium oxide, a very good electrical insulator. This is because aluminium is a very reactive metal: without its protective oxide coating, it would not survive the atmospheric environment (the oxide passivates it). When a common DMM's prongs are pressed onto the foil, the oxide layer breaks, thus establishing conductive paths between the foil's surface and its interior, which is very conductive. Therefore, aluminum foil as a whole is conductive. With powder, it is a different state of affairs: the prongs make contact with the powder, but it is not sufficiently forceful to peel the oxide away due to the medium offering little mechanical stiffness. Moreover, grains barely touch each other, making conduction difficult. I also think that grinding may increase the thickness of the oxide layer, making it even more insulating. Hope it helps,
I was considering this, but after watching the video I realized it is much cheaper to just buy powder rather than waste HOURS of my life grinding. The powder is like 20-30 €/kg in consumer stores and a lot cheaper if you can buy wholesale.
It's better and faster if you throw water in the blender. Makes the particles even smaller. And cools the aluminium.Pour it out in a dish and let it dry.
real question is: how do i grind without a grinder? there always is a missing piece in most of my projects.... this keeps adding wait to this lazy rolling ball XD
Beginners question: Why does grinding down aluminium "ruin" the coffe grinder? Can't you just wash it out thoroughly and use it again for food or whatever?
+FlyingM86 you could, but aluminium is so toxic you really don't want to take that risk. I'm not sure bout all grinders but i've noticed in the ones I owned there are tiny tiny gaps where the pin from the motor comes out from and stuff does get stuck in there, as well as a certain see through grinder i had, after a couple weeks you can see bits getting through impossibly small gaps.
Maybe. You need a lot of heat to get it to light. And something like iron oxide (rust) powder to give it extra oxygen. Colinfurze on TH-cam has some old videos where he plays with it.
It burns really hot, but you need a blowtorch or something like it to light it. It Also burns much better if you add rust powder to it, just be careful, this stuff is pretty dangerous.
Well I personally wouldn't use this for coffee again. The fine dust can get into the tiny cracks and wouldn't be easy to get out so when using it for coffee that aluminium could get into your coffee and contaminate it. Also the aluminium wrecks the rotor blades after constant use.
You probably took a 10 minute break, not a 10 minute brake. Your car has brakes to slow down. Sorry to be language police, just offering friendly correction, no insult intended please. Nice video.. I did not know you could grind foil so fine in a bean grinder. Thanks!
The ads at the end blocked me from seeing the captions. Also you should have told everyone to begin with that the effort isn't worth the time it takes.
Yes it can be if another substance is added. There are tons of videos on TH-cam on how to make tannerite. You can't shoot anything lower than a .22, too little velocity.
That's really nice powder, best I've seen so far actually! And also the only one to be smart enough to figure you'll mess up the grinder.

is this for making exploding shooting targets? for 223/556 ?
I use it for pyrotechnics
Yes it can be if another substance is added. There are tons of videos on TH-cam on how to make tannerite. You can't shoot anything lower than a .22, too little velocity.
Need this for percussion caps 🤠
