This information is readily available in any number of places, so I don't feel too bad about supplying it here; if you don't have a clue what you're doing, you probably won't be able to get the raw materials, and the product you make won't be as effective as (readily available) commercially prepared powder anyway.
"Black powder" is approximately 75% potassium nitrate (saltpeter), 15% carbon (charcoal), and 10% sulfur.
The smokeless variety: Realistically, don't even try. Just buy it. It's easier and much safer and probably not any more expensive.
Nothing.. Gunpowder does not impact-detonate, which is why bullets have a "primer" that will ignite the gunpowder when it is struck. Nothing.. Gunpowder does not impact-detonate, which is why bullets have a "primer" that will ignite the gunpowder when it is struck.
Assuming you mean gunpowder residue on the skin, any thorough cleaning, such as scrubbing with soap and water, or alcohol cleaner, would do. But there will also be burnt gunpowder burnt into the skin, and these are much less likely to be easily removed. (Powder burns.)
A trebuchet is essentially a slingshot powered by gravity. A cannon is essentially a high tech airgun (pressure provided by gunpowder)
He may have invented gunpowder in 1250, and he was one of the first people to think scientifically; despite the fact that everyone else listened to what they had been told by authorities.
it depends. If you just get the soil, it will work as an alternate gunpowder.(don't try it!)However, if you light the paper or whatever too, it will make a small detonator that just make smoke that could kill you.
Gunpowder NEVER WAS used to make guns.
Gunpowder can be used to make a bomb. So unless you are licensed to be in possession of gunpowder, owning gunpowder is illegal.
Weapon + gunpowder
saltpeter + sulfur = gunpowder. Hope this helps.
Air + Earth = Dust Dust + Fire = Gunpowder
gunpowder+metal to make gunpowder: fire+dust to make dust: earth+air
Adding more sulfur to gunpowder can make it more volatile. However, increasing volatility can also make it more dangerous to handle, so it is important to exercise caution when altering the composition of gunpowder.
China made Gunpowder in 1000 A.D. They actually made it by accident.
well you can get gunpowder from creepers but YOU need to kill it. if it explodes trying to kill you you wont get gunpowder. you need gunpowder to make TNT's and a potion but i forgot which potion. try it yourself. hope i helped.
Easy! gunpowder+metal.. Hope this helps :D (im sure it does)
you just don't try
Used to make gunpowder in the 1800s
