I Can't recall where i saw it, but i was looking around the net for files, I found this one file that i recall that said when the mix potassium permaganate/sugar touchs sulfric acid it ignites. Is this true anyone ever try this?

I've heard that potassium permangate + powdered sugar ignited with fuse = big incindiary... But I havent tested it.

It is 9 parts potassium permagnanate to 1 part sugar I think. You pour glycerine on it, and It will heat up and ignite.

Lemme try this real time, I'll be back in ten minutes to tell you th results, k.

Back from the lab(actually I did this in my bedroom) 9.02 g of pottasium permanganate were placed in to a heated mortar and pestle followed by 1.04 g of granulated table sugar. The heated mortar and pestle helps to drive off any water in the reagents. they were ground for three minutes into a fine homogeneous powder. 1 g of this powder was placed in a shot glass. 5 drops of glycerine were added imeadiately the combination started to bubble and hiss, smoke issued seconds later, and finally a burst of flame shot 4cm out of the shotglass. burned for approx. 3 sec and then went out. Upon washing the reaction vessel it was noted that there was some unreacted permangante.

Tommorow I may try the same formula with sulphur added at 5% to see if a catalytic effect occurs.

Comments/questions welcome

ps. Quite stoned right now.

I see the glycerine worked, try sulfric acid!

Sulphuric acid should also have an effect as well, and I might add some al or mg powder as a high energy fuel, we can get a pretty stable chemically active igniter going here pretty soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well sulphuric acid merely carbonizes the sugar and reduces the permanganate, nothing more than a fizz and charred remains. The sulphur added at ~5% reduces the sensitivity such that the mixture does not ignite it merely smokes and smells bad.

Meh!
