Fill a black balloon with food coloring of pink or red. Then shoot the tannerite. Least amount of chemistry needed.
Also have to agree with the dye not working, you're going to need something that when it oxidizes lets off blue color...which could be bordering on creating an explosive.
True, but if you add anything to add color...you're essentially mfg a firework that's fuse is a high speed projectile. And you posted it on the interwebs.
Aluminum? Not sure what burns red but I know I've seen it...Zinc burns blue for the most part. Copper is a greenish color. I am drawing a blank on red and feel like an idiot bc it's on the tip o my tongue. grrr.
Flour will definitely burn, it's just a question of will the tannerite get it started? I know for a fact that tannerite will start common liquid flammables.The flour one is winning right now. I highly doubt it would combust, I dont think Tannerite would create enough of a flame to get it going. It's worth a try!
See belowIt says on the website that tannerite will not start anything on fire.
This ^^^ Tannerite + Gas/Diesel = Firebomb similar to special effects "explosions". As a matter of fact, as I was once told by a special effects artist/explosives technician when queried about the make-up of those fire-bombs I was told, "It's a vessel of hydrocarbon liquid driven by a charge of high-velocity explosive material". Which means, "it's a 20 oz. Mt. Dew bottle full of gas, diesel, or kerosene set off by some explosives".I think that is a legal CYA statement. I've seen first hand that it will ignite other chemicals that are in close proximity to it. A little gasoline / diesel fuel mixed in a bottle placed on top of the tannerite will create a nice fireball that looks a lot like a Hollywood movie special effect.
What tannerite won't do is set dry grass on fire, or other combustibles that are near it (unless you do the trick noted above).
Tannerite is already an explosive. Under current state/federal law you are permitted to manufacture your own explosives, on-site, for immediate use. You cannot transport or store it, or use it in a manner that is irresponsible. Tannerite is legal in the form you buy it because it isn't considered an explosive until it's mixed. Adding color or anything else doesn't change this one bit. Adding a booster charge to "launch" it may put it into the realm of fireworks laws etc but adding color does not.True, but if you add anything to add color...you're essentially mfg a firework that's fuse is a high speed projectile. And you posted it on the interwebs.

I'll just leave this here.The flour one is winning right now. I highly doubt it would combust, I dont think Tannerite would create enough of a flame to get it going. It's worth a try!
