Sulfurless Black Powder

login - 29-10-2012 at 09:53

I wanna make sulfurless black powder, and I have seen some ratios in google search.
some of them are 80:20, 75:25 and 70:30 (KNO3:Charcoal)

which is a ratio that can make fastest deflagration?

I am interested in this too. But as usual it is extremely difficult to search science madness, the search engine does not guess at anything, so it has to be spelled EXACTLY right. Whenever someone tells me to search, I just give up because most searches on here are fruitless. Please if someone could post a link to some threads on sulfur less black powder, it would be appreciated.

Regardless of any results that may or may not appear on this forum, one must first search the world wide web. Only then would one find a document like this one, which may hold the answers to your queries:
