With regards to fireballs produced by flour or non-dairy creamer does it need to be a candle or can it be a beutain torch thanx-primo

Either will work. I usually use a straw and my Zippo. It works well enough, I suppose, but it's only interesting the first few times...

lite a candle and put a poster tube over it.

Take some creamer/flour and pour down the tube.

You should get a nice fireball out from the top of the tube.

Its better using baby powder because you can just spray as much ads you want as long as your using the johnson&johnson kind that comes in the plastic bottle with the litte holes on top

im pretty sure any thing that is in powder form and is carbon based can be used in "powder fireballs"

ok i get how to make it but has anyone don it with a beutane torch work its been windy latley so i dont think a candle would work

I've used my jetlighter before (same principle). It works just as well.

Damn powder fireballs are fun to do, but has anyone thought of making a powder fueled flamethrower? Here's my idea.

1.Take a hand held leaf blower and add a powder holder (1 Gallon Milk carton with bottom cut off or bleach container?)

2.Then cut a hole in the blower's pipe (The fan port, not sure of the name.) And attach the powder container.

3.Then just attach a propane torch (Windproof obviously) go to town.

Although this seems impractical as it would consume too much fuel to start with and would probably have a hard time igniting all the powder.

Still it was worth putting the idea out there.

im not sure if that would work because yuo would probaly got throught the powder very quickly and when it blows it there would be large amounts or air in it i guess its worth a shot but im not to sure if it will work

does anyone know how to make a powder bomb, something with the same principle but more self contained?

Aechean, take a trash can, plastic or metal, and a mortar shell firework. Cut the main charge off the shell and save the powder then tape the bottom charge so it's sealed. Then simply dump a bag of flour in the trash can (Inside should be dry) cap it and shake it around, then open the lid, stick the igniter inside and seal it. Light it and run because if it works that lid will fly.

Sorta the safe version of the dry-iced trashcan kids did in school.
