Not black powder, but stuff that goes ';poof'; *MUCH* faster can be made without sulfur. Like nitrogen triiodide, for instance. And picric acid, or virtually any other ';tri-nitro'; compound. Or any perchlorate.





How? Sorry . . . I refuse to be an accomplice toward your own demise. See here:

Lots of 'redox' mixtures will do that, but dry grinding


such things in a ball mill is really begging for trouble.


Do some reading on the subject.
