In light of this application of high-nitrogen compounds, we have determined that two other high-nitrogen fuels, bis-(1(2)H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amine monohydrate (BTAw), 5,5&#39;-bis-1H-tetrazole (BT) and their salts are likely candidates for low-smoke pyrotechnic fuels. The various characteristics of these fuels have been examined in some detail; these include impact sensitivity with and without oxidant ammonium perchlorate, spectra of colored flames, and thermal analyses of their hydrates and salts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> high nitrogen fuel, low smoke,&nbsp;pyrotechnics, bis-(1(2)H-tetrazol-5-yl)-amine,5,5&#39;-bis-1H-tetrazole, 3,6-dihydrazino-s-tetrazi<font face=\"TimesNewRoman\"><font face=\"TimesNewRoman\">ne.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n<p> <font face=\"TimesNewRoman\"><font face=\"TimesNewRoman\"><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Ref:<\/strong> JPyro, Issue 10, 1999, pp17-36<br \/> (J10_17)<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David E.
