Luminescent properties of inexpensive and insensitive energetic colour composites with different binders

Yi Wang, Xiaolan Song, Chongwei An and Fengsheng Li Abstract: Three very inexpensive and readily available colour composites (red, green, and blue) with different binders were prepared by a mechanical milling method. Their micron morphology, thermal reactions, and safety characteristics were evaluated. In particular, as a focus of this work, their combustion performances were investigated …

A New Model for Pyrotechnic Strobes

Richard Harrison Abstract:  Existing models that purport to describe the mechanisms that occur in an ignited pyrotechnic strobe composition can all be shown to fail, in one respect or another, to match the observed behavior. By including separate reaction mechanisms for the smolder and flash phases, the proposed new model can avoid all such failings. …

Polysulfide sparklers revisited: a practical introduction to Carbo Hanabi

Frederick Van Der Sypt, M.D Abstract: Polysulfide sparklers in the form of Senko Hanabi have been enjoyed for centuries. Research has shown that potassium nitrate can be replaced with non-oxidizing salts providing equally performing compositions that are non-explosive. This article aims to translate this research into practice and presents a detailed construction method for Carbo …

Theory of Coloured Flame Production

BE Douda Abstract: The theories and attributes associated with the production of colored flames are presented. Particular attention is given to flames containing strontium (red), barium (green), sodium (yellow) and copper (green or blue). Thermal excitation of vaporized neutral atoms, molecules and ions is correlated with the emission of atomic, band and ionic spectra. These …
