- Flash powder
Pyrotechnic initiator Sprengel explosive Thermite Black powder Lycopodium powder References reflist ...Flash powder is a pyrotechnic composition , a mixture of oxidizer and metallic fuel , which burns quickly and if confined produces a loud report. It is widely used in theatrical pyrotechnics and fireworks namely salute pyrotechnics salutes , e.g., cherry bomb s, M 80 explosive M 80 s, firecracker s, and cap gun shots and was once used for flash photography flash es in photography . Image Flash Powders.JPG thumb right Examples of theatrical binary flash powders. Note the shared oxidizer A powder for some types of fuel s B . Different varieties of flash powder are made from different compositions most common are potassium perchlorate and aluminium powder. Sometimes, sulfur is included in the mixture to increase the sensitivity. Early formulations used potassium chlorate instead of Potassium Perchlorate. Flash powder compositions are also used in military pyrotechnics, when production of large amount of noise, light, or infrared radiation is required e.g. flare countermeasure missile decoy flares and stun grenade s. Safety and handling Flash powder mixtures are highly sensitive to shock, friction and electrostatic discharge. Additionally, accidental contaminants such as strong acids or sulphur compounds can sensitise them even more. Because flash powder mixtures are so easy to initiate, there is a high risk of accidental explosions which can inflict severe blast fragmentation injuries e.g., traumatic amputation of body parts. Fatalities have occurred. Flash powder compositions should ... are shock and friction sensitive.

- SCSI check condition
Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer terminology, a Check Condition occurs when a SCSI device needs to report an error. SCSI communication takes place between an SCSI initiator initiator and a SCSI target target . The initiator sends a SCSI command command to the target which then responds. SCSI commands are sent in a Command Descriptor Block SCSI CDB CDB . At the end of the command the target returns a SCSI Status Code Status Code byte which is usually 00h for success, 02h for a Check Condition error , or 08h for busy. When the target returns a Check Condition in response to a command, the initiator usually then issues a SCSI Request Sense Command SCSI Request Sense command in order to obtain more information. During the time between the reporting of a Check Condition and the issuing of a Request Sense command, the target is in a special state called a SCSI contingent allegiance condition Contingent Allegiance Condition .

- Ejection charge
Unreferenced date January 2009 Ejection charge , also called expelling charge , is a pyrotechnic composition , a type of a pyrotechnic gas generator designed to produce a small short term amount of thrust to burst open a container and eject its content. In model rocketry , ejection charges are used to deploy a recovery system usually parachute or streamer . The ejection charge is ignited through a layer of delay composition , to fire shortly after the main engine burns out. Ejection charges can be also triggered by a timer or an altimeter . A small amount of black powder is usually used, but smokeless powder and other compositions are possible. Ejection charges are also used in some flare pyrotechnic flares to eject the light or smoke producing components out of the flare casing. In flare countermeasure countermeasure flares , ejection charges are used to propel the flares out of their casing, or to eject pyrophoric fluids from their containers. In cluster bomb s, ejection charges are used to disperse the submunitions. Burst charges are also used to dispense leaflets from leaflet bomb s. In chemical weapon s, ejection charges are used to disperse the chemical agent from the bomb, submunition, grenade, or warhead.

- Green mix
Green mix is an early step in the manufacturing of black powder for explosive s. It is a rough mixture of potassium nitrate , charcoal and sulfur in the correct proportions 75 15 10 for black powder , but is not milled, pressed or corned. It combustion burns much more slowly than black powder, when it chooses to burn at all the deflagration is usually characterized by short, uneven sizzling followed by relatively long periods of smoulder. Green mix is merely an unfinished product and not generally used itself in any pyrotechnic or projectile applications.

- Ghost Mine
Orphan date February 2009 Refimprove date July 2007 A ghost mine is a pyrotechnic device which projects a large, ethereal looking colored fireball into the sky. The effect is produced by mixing methyl alcohol with a pyrotechnic colorant . Since alcohol burns with a nearly invisible flame, all that is seen by the audience is a cloud of glowing color the colorant taking the shape of the invisible fireball. ref http www.skylighter.com specialOffer.asp?offer 2ES07BR1BM How to make fireball ghost mines , Skylighter inc, 2007 accessed 22 January 2007 ref It was invented by Chris Spurrell, a research chemist from Hawthorne, California.

- Plastic Igniter Cord
Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date August 2008 A plastic igniter cord PIC is a type of fuse used to initiate an explosive device or charge. In appearance igniter cord is similar to safety fuse and when ignited, an intense flame spits perpendicular to the cord at a uniform rate as it burns along its length. Igniter cord in construction is again similar to safety fuse, consisting of a pyrotechnic composition at the core, wrapped with a nylon sheath to provide shape and finally wrapped again in an outer plastic shell to provide water resistance. Normally, igniter cord also consists of a metal wire at the very center of the pyrotechnic core which also runs the entire length of the cord the pyrotechnic composition will react with the metal wire typically aluminum, iron or copper to increase the energetics of the fuse. There are two types of PICs the fast type which has nominal burning speed of 30 cm per second, a diameter of about 3 mm, and is brownish in color and the slow type, which has a diameter of 2 mm, is greenish in color, and has a nominal burning speed of 3 cm per second.
