NOTE !! This experiment has risks as flying shrapnel may be expelled from the CRT.. This has to be done in a well vented environment, e.g. outside. Firstly I didn't expect the reaction to go so vigorously and the pressure build up was excessive. An electric 12 Volt igniter was used to trigger the chemical reaction. Mix: 360 g KNO3 , 240 g White sugar , 50 g candle wax, 150 g iron sand. I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
