Ignoring the subject of my last message, regarding the fact that i have no reliable means of ignition, would the following work:
A thick paper tube sealed at one end with the fuse entering at the bottom (sealed end) of the tube. Then about half of the tube filled with match heads and the other half with finely powdered flour. Then if the top was sealed with paper so the flour wouldnt fall out. Would the ignition of the match heads be enough to force the flour out into a cloud and at the same time, ignite it?

Thanks.

I am doubting that the matchheads will burst the container fast enough to "atomize" the flour enough. Try a faster burning Le if you can find one. Another thing the matchheads may just ruin the flour when deflageration occurs.

Thanks Monkeyman

Anytime!!

Incase anyone is interested, I successfully made a small fireball from match heads and flour. I only used small amounts of each so it wasnt huge but it worked. I used a cardboard tube and sealed the match head end off from the flour with cardboard, which must have allowed enough pressure to build up for the flour to atomizer.
