How do u make black powder?

charcoal, sulpher, and salt peter in the proper proportions. However, making black powder is highly dangerous (and illegal in some states) Mix the wrong amounts and boom. use the wrong tools to mix it, and boom. static electricity and boom. get it on the lid ot threads of a jar or container when closing it, and boom. In other words, buy black powder pre made if you are using it for a rifle or pistol, just make sure you get the proper powder for your firearm. Then handle it with care. If you had plans to use it for illegal means, my suggestion is, DO NOT! And yes, this site is monitored by government agencies who love to check up on people asking suspicious questions.How do u make black powder?
Black powder is a mixture of charcoal, sulfur and salt peter. It is easily made but is dangerous. You have to grind the parts together with a morter and pestle and this can be very dangerous. The mixture can explode wile you are grinding it. Once you have it ground, what you actually have is an extremely fine black powder called serpentine powder that would be considered flash powder. With agitation from being carried around, it will settle and change composition. The only way to make it homogenous is to make it into a paste, dry the paste into a block, break up the block , grind it into a granular powder and then sieve it into the varous grades. This is not easy and is also very dangerous. If you decide to try to make black powder in spite of my warnings, have the decency to do it a long way away from the house and keep everyone away. Make sure you have adequate insurance to pay for any damage that you do when it blows up and have enough life insurance to pay for your final medical bills and bury you. It's the only reasonable thing to do if you are determined to use this way to find out if there is life after death.How do u make black powder?
Ya, it is indeed Potassium Nitrate, Granulated charcoal and specific sulfur compounds or better yet, pure sulfur. It is relatively simple to make, IF you know what you are doing....


That being said, as a chemist by profession, I must warn you against trying to synthesize it. As the above posters have said, nothing good comes from trying to make your own. Improper mixing, improper ratios, or even improper handling techniques can result in you losing fingers! not a good idea.
