I have tested wheat flour wads on a thundermug.
« on: June 19, 2010, 08:18:07 AM »
 I have tested wheat flour wads on a thundermug.
It was a much better combustion of gunpowder.
The amount was like gunpowder charge.
Are there any of you who have experience with wheat flour wads.?

Was that whole wheat, cracked wheat, multi-grain or dark?

No experience, but it can be arranged.

Did you compact it, put it into foil, or was it loose on top?

Fine ground wheat flour.
Loosely on top of the powder charge. No foil.

As a kid we'd put a small candle sraight up in a bowel that had flour in it . Then take a drinking straw put one end into the bowl of flour and blow into the other ,when the dust hits the lit flame maybe 3 inches up ....WhoosHH
Unfortunatly we as big kids managed to scare the life out of some little kids ........cause somehow ;) they got the idea my brother and I where majiK ....... :o   There mothers proved to them we were not majiK .....we had to stop, mostly .
