- Ingredients:
Charcoal ( made from the tree Rhus chinensis)
Saltpeter ( Potassium nitrate)
#Saltpeter is taken 1/3
Usually prepared by assuming with no accurate calculations.
The traditional method of extracting saltpeter for gunpowder is no more practice due to rapid changes of modern advancement.

Can you make a traditional way of making salt peter video if possible Thanks
We no longer use the old way of obtaining salpetre for gunpowder because of advancing in our dwelling place and other ways... Our forefathers used to extract salpeter from soil(in dry condition) in which humans live for centuries.
Fertilizer my friend.
@@DodongWerkzPhwhy are u saying friend? He's not ur friend bro 💀
@@TATPMuncher its up to him whether hes gonna use it for good or bad.
It occurred Naturally under dung heaps. .yo can collect urine let it sit for 3 days then simmer it until all liquid has evaporated. There's a saltpeter/nitrate
In the 60's, I read how to make gunpowder. I got saltpeter from the drug store, and a charcoal briquette. Used a hammer to pulverize the charcoal, mixed in the saltpeter, and threw a match on it. Poof! It burned like a ball of fire. Performed this experiment in the street gutter, in front of our house, age 10.
Calm down there pyro😮

So sulfur isn't needed for this combo to work ?
😅
What is saltpeter
It's been 60 years since I heard that tune. Thanks for bringing back a Sunday morning memory from my childhood.
🤗✨
What is the song's name please?
@@deepaktripathi4417 I'm resolved no longer to linger. It's a beautiful hymn🕊
@@tingzky it is indeed. Thanks!
@@deepaktripathi4417 It's an old Christian Hymn being played on a Dulcimer (I think) and the title is "I Am Resolved."
"I am resolved no longer to linger,
charmed by the world's delights,
things that are higher, things that are nobler,
these have allured my sights.
I will hasten to him,
hasten so glad and free,
Jesus ... greatest highest,
I will come to thee."
Now I have watched this I am probably on some police watch list.
Ai watches us all all the time
Congratulations! Youve won the $1Million grand prize! Please report to ATF headquarters to collect your prize!
Hmmm
Really I m jst watching for want to know😢
Playing with a pack of matches gets you on the watch list 😂
I noticed he never added sulfur, I would say he never added sulfur because he was cooking over open fire and wanted to keep himself alive .
When my mad scientist friends, and myself made gun powder in the early 60's we used sulpher in the mix.
it's using ammonium nitrate, & sulfer is added to lower ignition temperature & make burn spread faster. This also works for barrel based explosives
@@williammach9127how can I contact you?
A whole bunch of tomorrow’s Darwin Award nominees will be watching this 😂
Sulphur is the third component of blackpowder. I missed seeing it being added.
Actually I didn't add sulfur. In the traditional method we don't add sulfur.
It wasn't shown. Neither was the final step of grinding the proper grades and their uses.
Sulphurless meal powder is used when combined with mixtures containing chlorate as sulphur and chlorates can be very sensitive to friction and shock.
@@tingzkyI put 1/4 cup of alcohol instead
@@youtubecompany6562 Did the powder get drunk😄
You can make powder by grinding all the ingredients to very fine powder, then combine wet, make dough, and granulate with a screen . Dry fast, it works.
Seriously 😃 must try
In the 1800's home made gun powder was very low pressure, some 45 lc bullets were slow, like 500-600 fps.
12 gauge shells reloaded with black powder just works like wonder.
And the puff of smoke just takes it to another level.
Yes it's so much fun😃
But not healthy for ur barrel as well😂
@@Wolfvetrankills You are right buddy if the amount of KN03 is more than recommended.
@@Wolfvetrankillsjust clean it afterwards lol. Especially if we're talking shotguns. It's a smooth mirror finish inside the barrel, you can probably pass a wet sock two times and it's good to go😂
If you are adding sulphur make sure you never use “flowers of sulphur”. Self-igniting power is a real potential.
i recommend 80% nitrate, 5% sulfur 15%charcoal
Love the high precision measurements!
Thank you 😃
I know. Doesn't seem to matter
Do you know the formula to making slow burning fuse
Crazy 😮open fire cooking gunpowder.
I have made this recipe before. It's very easy and burns faster than any other gunpowder I have made so far
Good to know!
Can you please help me out to make ...you have any written or PDF file pls share me
@@heigrujam9327 Sorry I don't have any written record as such. One thing I can suggest is, take 15 % of soft wood (Rhus chinensis) charcoal by weight.
Realmente, without sulphur?
Genuine question.
@@hansexner1654
It works pretty well😃 th-cam.com/video/MPkOVaT3Ky8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=w4ri5VdZDa3DU-9-
the music makes it like a children's arts and crafts
In the earlier 80's For the science fare I made Black Powder. They wouldn't allow it in the library for the science fare. It was raining outdoors and and I had to do it out doors. Was so cool they took a photo of me and behind me was the fuel truck gassing up the busses when it flashed off. They claim the photo was over exposed and didn't develop. I think they saw their safety failure and it burned uo too. Hahaha
Not how we made it as 10 year old kids, 2 parts Sulphar, 1 part charcoal 1.5 parts Nitrate, mixed dry in a plastic or wooded bowl with a plastic or wood spoon, If you cant get sulphur use sodium thiosulphate to only ONE part.
Thank you so much❤
75% saltpeter 15% charcoal 10% sulfur
We used to make small amounts in a pestle. The British chemists wouldn't sell saltpeter around early November!
This is not "gun powder" or to call it by its proper name, black powder, If you were making black powder then you'd be adding sulphur also.
This traditional method has been used for a few centuries. Legend says we have been practicing this since the 12th century. You can check this out😁 th-cam.com/video/MPkOVaT3Ky8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wEHORLyaDhi3mC7V
@@tingzky ok I respect that may be the case but the chinese were creating it from a lot longer than a few centuries ago & it was being mixed with sulphur, with good reason I may add.
What you have is something similer but it is not black powder.
I watched your video, mildly interesting but not relevant to this discussion.
Stay safe 👍
@@rikwilliams6352 I appreciate your knowledge😁

Where most people get lost in the process of making black powder doing it over an open flame. What could possibly go wrong?
You mean got burnt or explode while drying?
A moderately more sophisticated version of the process involves steam heating. Apparently another name for a steam heated kettle is a “powder kettle “.
I’ve found that allowing your powder dry naturally works best.Stirring every day.
@oldrabidus2230 😄 it's necessary to dry
Or just watch the Gorn episode of Star Trek ….🖖🏻
Fascinating.. ive always wondered how less developed countries did it..
Wonder how well that powder works. Be cool to know how to reload, down to making powder and primers!
@@Backstabbio So positive of you😃Thank you
Great video. Keep it up
Tray to add a 100grams of sugar and one batton sulphure and You wil see genuine gunpowder
Will try that😃Thank you
slugerd that makes a smoke bomb. still bomb. careful.
Traditionally sulphur is also added at 10% by mass.
Actually there were a bunch of different formulas throughout the black powder era. Some better than others.
the souls were happy. "Gunpowder for the poor" without sulfur. Of course, you can't make sulfur on your own (I remember how in my childhood, and this was 50 years ago, I was looking for it on a railway track where freight cars used to make black powder. But now even children's knowledge and skills have come in handy for designing skids (bombs) for drones on war in Ukraine
lol. Salt Peter and sulphur was easily purchased from my local chemist when I was a young teen. Heaps of fun. Most kids today have no idea what fun is. Back when I bought a slug gun (air rifle)from target. It was a toy then and as far as I’m concerned it still is.
@@neriksen 🤓❤
Ilike the video thanks for teaching us great
Thank you🙏❤
Why no sulphur?
I did that many times as a teenager, often I mixed aluminum powder in it too.
I always added the sulfur.
However, I did not have a recipe so it was hit or miss. Plus, I was living in Peru at the time.
@@jackflash6377 Thanks for sharing 😃
I believe this are the konyak nagas.... The British we surprise when they were greeted with muskets in the early 90s trying to conquer the konyaks... Hence they introduced opioid and the effects are still felt today.
That's another awesome way to go about it. Thank you
Waaw fantastic
Well for one charcoal and St Peter does not make gunpowder you also need some sulfur in there is a stabilizer and his measurements are way the hell off it is 75 saltpeter 15% charcoal and 10% sulfur that is the standard mix for black powder to this day

I see a lot of people complaining about what you made.
You say this is traditional.
Traditionaly, what was this used for? And what year was it used?
When you say gun powder I think most people think of modern firearms, but this appears to be, at best, black powder.
It also appears to be a crude black powder and can probably only be used in the eariest firearms.
@@MrYfrank14 Yes, this method has been used since 12th century, the legend says. We used them for hunting purposes however restrictions have been adopted these days. The sound of a gun has emotions for us; we fire a gun when fire breakout in the village, during festivals, funerals and also means for victory. Thanks❤
Lovely usic
And the sulphur he never added this ingredient to the mixture....
You are right! Sulphur is an additional fuel added to burn faster.
Please check this out 😁 Without sulphur

Try adding powdered iron.
I find this video weird yet very informative. Informative because it's about making gunpowder. You'll never know when you'll be forced to make one. It is also odd because it uses the song "I am resolved" as background. 😂 I mean, that's a praise hymn, and it's being played in a video about gunpowder. 😂
@@lalaelfa5036 😁🤭
My God. It's very dangerous to making gunpowder like this.
@@velusamysivan-dt2ul Yes, we must follow the caution
You need nitrate too. Is that what the saltpeter is for?
@@samfisher9413 Yes😃
@@tingzky well. thats easier than using urea. lol thanks for the info
Can we buy this saltpeter in any shop? What a difference with saltpeter and salt that we use in the kitchen 🤔
Yes, saltpeter is a common name of potassium nitrate (KNO3). Kitchen salt( NaCl) doesn't support combustion.
Fake: no sulfur, and that open fire's asking for it.
@@EinwetokSaying fake is easier than trying 😃
The Taliban here in Pakistan during 2007-09 would grind artificial urea in the village watermills and add sulphur, limestone etc later and made bombs in cooking pots...
@@thehindukushheights Wow.. Sounds destructive
You forgot the sulfur. OOPS!!!
Just a word of warning don't use tools that can cause sparks. such as iron. my grand dad's dad made dynamite at Nitro Nobel. he was telling me how they used to collect fragments of body parts to put in the coffins after accidents at the factory. I still am haunted by the graphic depictions 50 yeast later.
Indeed, one must use the caution⚠
Don't simply go for it !
Yes guiter musice was so sweet who played the guitar
You can check out the description.. 😁
Brilliant & Beautiful 😂❤😂❤LOOKS EAZZZZY I'LL TRY IT???
HOPE IT REALLY WORKS THIS TIME???
@@frederickacker5379 Definitely it will! 😃 Use caution: after the sundry be very careful in further drying. To avoid explosions, pick impurities like I have shown in the video. Fully dried powder should have less than 2 % moisture.
How much difference in the measurements of the ingredients can there be for the powder to explode or not ?
Bhaiyaji no wrong information... May be according , you it's it's an acceptance the way how you prepare, the very gun powder, my request.. Is... Inika Randomly na dahli bi...

The quick and the dead
use toilet paper charcoal and grind your mixture (saltpeter sulfur charcoal) with marbles for 72 hours
we will get closer to Swiss quality
Wow👍
Забыл алюминия сыпнуть пригорщи.
Me and the boys used to make pipebombs with gunpowder like this when we were 10. If you grab two bin bags and fill it a little bit with gasoline, and then you tape it tightly, making it like a small ball, you leave it near your pipebomb and it will blown with a fireball. The pipebomb itself only produces some smoke, no flames. It doesn't work the same way if you just use a bottle. I have no idea why.
We would also look for magic mushrooms on the undergrowth after the rains, and and trade them for candy. I'm from South America, we call them mushrooms "cucumelo".

I'm guessing you are from Ukhrul😃
Thank you❤
I make my own. Reload .45lc, .357 and 12 gauge with the stuff. It's really much easier than all this. And it's all legal.
I try every type of method in order to make black powder only ball mill for 48 hours work best
Good to hear👍✨
What no 10% sulphur and 8h ball milling that will not shoot a bullet efficiently only good for fireworks and quick match making
Without sulphur is also quite fine. Its energy is sufficient to propel a bullet and make an impact. Kindly check this out 😁

You are totally missing the point.. Boring. 😵💫. Will not shoot a bullet?? Only good for fireworks??? That's what it was invented for. 😒

What about the sulfer?
Is it me, or is the background music "Still Alive" from Portal?
"I am resolved no longer to linger"
Vous ne mettez pas de soufre ?
No, it's an additional fuel only. We can prepare without sulfur also.
@@tingzky Sulfur is not a fuel in black powder, its function is as a catalyst. It serves to increase the reaction speed between saltpeter and char. the mixture of just saltpeter with char does not reach 100 meters per second burning speed and can only serve as a propellant for fireworks. The addition of a.c. 10% sulfur brings the speed to c.a. 1,000 meters per second, transforming it into a powerful explosive device
