For this project I used items from around the house to create a pyrotechnic time-delay. Here’s how to make a simple form of a slow burning fuse, because when experimenting with homemade pyrotechnics, you don’t want to be too close if your composition explodes.

Project History & More Info:
Similar to the recipes I tried for rocket fuel and smoke flares in previous videos, I’m using a 60/40 mix of KNO3 and white table sugar by weight. This time I’m making a 60 gram batch, adding it to boiling water, and stirring it in until it all dissolves.
Fuses were homemade by soaking 12 feet of 100% cotton yarn in the solution as the rest of the water evaporated out, then placed on a cookie sheet and baked in an oven at 300ºF for 20 minutes.
These types of devices may not be legal to make or use in your area, so check local laws before attempting to duplicate this project, and as always, be safe and aware of your environment before igniting anything flammable!

Don’t miss THE HOUR *** Wednesday Dec 12 at 9/8c *** with Part Three of the All New Miniseries that Rolling Stone calls “Brilliant!”, Presented by Dramaville and only on BBC America.
This week, Bel (ROMOLA GARAI, The Crimson Petal and the White) and Freddie (BEN WHISHAW, Skyfall, Cloud Atlas) investigate who beat up Kiki (HANNAH TOINTON, The Inbetweeners), as Hector (DOMINIC WEST, The Wire) starts to spiral out of control. But as the team gets closer to the truth, is Hector too self-destructive to be able to handle it?
From Emmy®-nominated writer and creator Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, Shame), the sequel sees the return of the highly competitive, sharp-witted and passionate news trio of Freddie, Bel and Hector — still striving to broadcast stories they believe in.
Now joined by the new eccentric Head of News, Randall Brown (PETER CAPALDI, The Thick of It), the sequel — set in late 1957 — will see the personal meet the professional as the characters become deeply embroiled in cover-ups, corruption, love affairs, sexual intrigues and the resurgence of Mosley’s fascism. Welcome to the end of the ’50s…
Presented by DRAMAVILLE, the destination for the most groundbreaking drama in British television. Every Wednesday night. And coming soon to Dramaville: the return of the Golden Globe®-winning miniseries LUTHER starring IDRIS ELBA; and SPIES OF WARSAW, based on New York Times Bestselling author Alan Furst’s acclaimed novel and starring DAVID TENNANT (Doctor Who).
