I didn't know were to post this so I put it here. Something strange happened this morning, a topic I posted disappeared. At first I figured it was moved, but it?s not showing up under my topics. Then I thought perhaps it was removed, but it didn?t break ant rules and my warn rating is still at 0%.. so I?m not sure what happened to it.

The topic was titled: Are you using fluorine as an oxidizer?
The last post was by: Mike Swisher
And the ID was: 1252

It?s most unfortunate his comments have been deleted as I have much to add to this thread. In any event, if it was deleted I would like to know why so I don?t make the same mistake over.

I was asked some questions about indoor pyro special effects and I realized beyond some simple stuff I really haven?t looked into this area. Does anyone have a good web reference for indoor pyrotechnic comps?

Probably some people know my passion propulsion systems, over the years I?ve probably tested a few hundred e-match formulas. Ok, so this is a stupid question but I can?t come up with a good/fun solution. There are a lot of creative people here, so let?s hear some ideas. I?m looking for a good way to test e-matches for performance. Normally besides the electrical standards tests I..

1) Ignite an APCP grain covered in High temp grease (fake oxidation)
2) Place one centered in a 1inch clear HDPE and note the burn pattern after cleaning residue.

I?d love to hear some good ideas, especially creative ideas, but they have to provide some useful data.
