Comment on: High-Nitrogen Pyrotechnichnic Compositions, Summer 1998, Issue 7.

Rutger Webb posed the following questions:

1. Did you measure the color (spectra) of the flames? Or was the color quality determined by visual comparison?

2. Why was increased burn rate of most copper salts undesirable? Did it "wash out" the color?

3. Did you try copper(I) chloride (CuCl) as a color agent? It is, as far as I know, the only desired emitter that does not have to be formed in situ.

4. Do you have more detail on the stability of the Hz2Tz compositions?
