Sep 27, 17, 2 Just curious - went over to this guy's house for a 4th of July celebration back in July - he had some custom setup to simultaneously ignite some rockets as well as launch them in a row, using gunpowder and some fuse line.
It came in a little black bottle that looked like a creatine bottle. Just curious where one buys gunpowder from. Kalvin00 Lifer. Jan 11, 12, 4 Your local sporting goods store. Nebor Lifer. Jun 24, 29, 11 Gun shops, sporting good stores People load their own cartridges, and some people use black powder guns. Place them all in the mortar, moisten for safety, and grind them together with the pestle for 10 minutes or longer.
If you're using a ball mill, mill the charcoal and sulfur together for 4 hours first, then add the saltpeter and mill the mixture for another 24 hours. Be extremely careful around the black powder once it has been mixed.
Do not smoke or light a flame anywhere close to the powder, and keep it away from heat. Consider adding water. Continue mixing the gunpowder, adding water in small increments until the gunpowder is the texture of thick clay. Form it into a ball when you're finished. If you mix the gunpowder with water, you'll need to corn the gunpowder, or break it up into small pieces.
Run the gunpowder ball through a kitchen sieve to break it into small pieces, then let the pieces dry out on a piece of paper. Again, be extremely careful around the gunpowder.
Exercise caution at every stage. Store the black powder safely. Consider storing it in a fireproof box in a shed or another area outside your home. In any case, store the black powder in a stable area where it will not come into contact with a flame or be exposed to high temperatures. You can buy powder containers at hardware stores or online. Some recommend using empty unused paint cans to store black powder. Note that it is also illegal in some areas to store explosive materials in a residence or dwelling.

Elemental carbon or graphite exposes much less area. It burns, but slowly. Not Helpful 26 Helpful The reaction is called an exothermic reaction, meaning a reaction that expels energy. The opposite is endothermic. Not Helpful 44 Helpful Sulfur does not burn easily, but once it gets started, it burns slowly and very hot. It will help keep your blackpowder burning.
Not Helpful 28 Helpful If you add water, you could be adding an extra day to the procedure. If you do, you must make sure it dries out completely before you break it up again. If you choose to grind it at this point, do so very carefully with the proper equipment. Keep in mind, potassium nitrate is water soluble, so any water run off or excess will take some of your blackpowder's punch with it. If you decide to add water, do so with that in mind.
Not Helpful 33 Helpful On average, how long would it take to make gunpowder if you use a mortar and pestle, and you have all the components on hand? Not Helpful 15 Helpful Your objective when you make it, ideally at least, is to be able to say that it isn't. If you just grind up charcoal, sulfur, and saltpeter, you'll end up with a coarse, rocky mixture that appears to be heterogeneous.
Good gunpowder takes a lot of work, so just when you think you're done, take the stuff out, mist your misture, dry it, and use your ball miill. I made some powder and set a small stream of it to light, but when I lit it, it just flashed and burnt up all at once. What should I add to slow the burn time down? More sulphur, or add sawdust. Sulphur burns slowly and at a high heat. I think burning sulphur by itself lets out a dangerous gas, though.
