Unreferenced date December 2009 Orphan date December 2009 Lift powder is simply granulated black powder also known as gunpowder . It consists of potassium nitrate , sulfur , carbon , and dextrin . Dextrin acts as a water soluble glue to hold the black powder together, so when it dries it will be rock hard. Lift powder gets its name because it is used for such things as launching shells out of mortars in pyrotechnics . Pyrotechnicians use this because it has a fast burn rate but not so fast as to cause the mortar to explode or cause other damage. Lift powder is good for this application because normal black powder cannot burn fast enough to push a shell out of a mortar fast enough the shell would only go a few feet in the air. Lift powder does not burn so fast though, like flashpowder , as to explode a mortar. A lift charge is an explosive charge. Manufacturing Lift powder This process is relatively simple. First take 100 grams of black powder and put it in a plastic ziploc bag. Second, take 10 grams of dextrin and mix that in also. Then, carefully pour a small amount of water. Mix well always by hand, not a machine . The mixture should become thick enough to stick together if squeezed between the fingers. If it is too dry, carefully add more water. Now, take an old spaghetti strainer and put all the wet lift powder into it and squeeze it out onto a paper plate. Let it dry in the sun for a day or two. Once it is dry, some of the pieces may be a bit large. Just crumble those down. Overall the granules should be about the size of medium sized cookie crumbs, about 10 20 mesh.

Unreferenced date December 2008 The flash pan or priming pan is a small receptacle for priming powder, found next to the touch hole on muzzleloading gun s. Flash pans are found on hand cannon gonne s, matchlock s, wheellock s, snaplock s, snaphance s, and flintlock s. The flash pan was at first attached to the gun barrel , but was later moved to the lock plate of the gun. A small amount of finely ground gunpowder is placed in the flash pan and ignited. The flash of flame travels through the touch hole igniting the main charge of propellant inside the barrel. Unlike cannon, it was not necessary or desirable to place priming in the touch hole itself. The flash alone, and not particles of burning powder was enough to ignite the main charge.

Meal powder is the fine dust left over when black powder gunpowder is corned and screened to separate it into different grain sizes. It is used extensively in various pyrotechnic procedures, usually to prime other compositions. It can also be used in many fireworks to add power and substantially increasing the height of the firework. Mill meal powder is a mixture of potassium nitrate , charcoal and sulfur in the correct proportions 75 15 10 which has been ball milled to mix it intimately. It is used in the same way as commercial meal powder or can be pressed and corned to produce true black powder. To make meal powder or black powder, a chemist mixes the ingredients by mass, never by volume. These ingredients are processed in a ball mill , basically a spinning drum with non sparking ceramic or lead balls. The more time left in the mill, the more explosive the powder will be. One main reason to ball mill as opposed to other methods is because it presses sulfur and KNO sub 3 sub into the porous charcoal.
