Materials:
One two-ply paper towel, 11 inches square (121 square inches)
1 teaspoon of oxidiser (potassium nitrate, sodium chlorate etc.)
1 tablespoon hot water.
The oxidiser is dissolved in the hot water, the towel pressed into the water, squeezed and kneaded until the solution is evenly distrubuted.
The wet towel is carefully unfolded, laid flat on a glass baking dish, and placed in a warm oven to dry.
Alternatively, it could be allowed to air-dry or sun-dry, but should not be hung up to dry. That would prompt the liquid to migrate to the lower side of the towel, making that side richer in oxidiser, the top side leaner.
Finally twist into a long string like fuse, or alternatively fold around an electrical ignitor.
(TIP: Add a pinch of metal such as titanium or magnesium flakes)
(* 1 tsp oxidiser makes a "rich" fuse paper, which burns rather fast. If you wish to use this for a delay train, try 1/4 tsp instead.)
Oct 25, 2006 1:27 pm - sodium chloride is table salt btw, sodium chlorate is an oxidizer, btw 4*
Oct 25, 2006 1:41 pm - Eh, it’s one of the only fuse eggs on here that might work. A string soaked in gas/kerosene? wtf, that cant burn through a fuse hole. This burns kind of slowly, so the hot ember may fall off while it’s trying to burn through the fuse hole. 3*s
Oct 25, 2006 1:49 pm - or when it is the 4th just buy or if u can steal some fireworks take them apart make a few big ones and save the fuses for later like i did
Idiot how will an oxidizer burn alone without a feul.
Petroleum jelly/aluminium powder/charcoal powder/powdered sugar etc should be added to make an actual fuse.
0*s for the incomplete egg.
Ever burn a fuckin paper towel before? If not burn one, it burns with a yellow flame meaning that it’s burning carbon containing molecules so the paper towel acts as the fuel, the KNO3 gives it extra oxygen to burn faster. You’re a fucking idiot.
