how to make a homemade smoke bomb smokebomb
A smoke bomb is a firework designed to produce smoke upon ignition. While there are smoke-generating devices that are dropped from airplanes, the term “smoke bomb” is used to describe the three types of devices:
A smoke ball is a hollow, cherry-sized sphere of brightly colored clay filled with a smoke-generating composition that produces a forceful jet of colored smoke for 10 to 15 seconds.
A smoke candle (also called a smoke generator or smoke canister) is a cylindrical cardboard tube with a fuse, usually 1½ inches (37 mm) in diameter and several inches long and resembling a giant firecracker. Such a device creates a thick cloud of smoke for up to several minutes. Uses include providing smoke for smoke testing and creating a smoke-screen for paintball and airsoft games.
A smoke canister (or smoke grenade) is a metal can that releases smoke when a pin is pulled. Used for signalling by military personnel.
Colored smoke devices use a formula that consists of an oxidizer (typically potassium chlorate, KClO3), a fuel (generally sugar), a moderant (such as sodium bicarbonate) to keep the reaction from getting too hot, and a powdered organic dye. The burning of this mixture evaporates the dye and forces it out of the device, where it condenses in the atmosphere to form a “smoke” of finely dispersed particles.
A simple smoke powder can be made by gently mixing saltpeter (potassium nitrate, KNO3) and sugar in roughly a ratio of 60% saltpeter to 40% sugar; add more sugar for a slower burn and more KNO3 for a faster burn. The more finely ground the saltpeter and sucrose, the better the smoke bomb. The mixture can be used as a loose powder or consolidated by adding enough water to make a thick paste, making a small lump of about a tablespoon in size, and letting it dry overnight. This is much safer than heating such a mixture, which has resulted in too many cases of accidental ignition. “Smoke Bomb gone awry”, New York Times.
This formula has a variant in which the ingredients are left in powder form and the granulated sugar is replaced with powdered sugar.
More success could potentially be enjoyed when one adds another flammable substance to the mixture without “cooking” it. The best choice for this is melted paraffin. [1]
Devices or cartridges containing only the dye are used with an external heat source in a smoke machine.
In the military, smoke bombs are a means for creating smoke-screens.
Smoke bombs are often sold as consumer fireworks, but smoke grenades (with pins rather than external fuses) are not considered fireworks and are usually not sold at fireworks shops. The military-style smoke grenades also cost much more than smoke bomb fireworks. Military-style smoke grenades often cost for around $40 USD, while smoke bombs often cost a few cents.
The smoke bomb you would purchase from a fireworks store usually is made from potassium chlorate (KClO3 - oxidizer), sugar (sucrose or dextrin - fuel), sodium bicarbonate (otherwise known as baking soda - to moderate the rate of the reaction and keep it from getting too hot), and a powdered organic dye (for colored smoke). When a commercial smoke bomb is burned, the reaction makes white smoke and the heat evaporates the organic dye. Commercial smoke bombs have small holes through which the smoke and dye are ejected, to create a jet of finely dispersed particles. Crafting this type of smoke bomb is beyond most of us, but you can make an effective smoke bomb quite easily. There are even colorants you can add if you want to make colored smoke. Let’s start out with instructions for the easiest/safest type of smoke bomb you can make:
Smoke Bomb Materials
sugar (sucrose or table sugar)
potassium nitrate, KNO3, also known as saltpeter (you can find this at some garden supply stores in the fertilizer section, some pharmacies carry it too)
skillet or pan
aluminum foil
Once you’ve gathered your smoke bomb materials, it’s easy to make the smoke bomb…

Secret soap bubble ingredients and tools. Family friendly, highly concentrated, environmentally friendly stuff to make your home-brewed bubbles even better.
From huge soap bubbles ~ larger than small cars to smaller bubbles that you can do tricks with even long-lived bubbles for party decorations. I hope to start selling it all soon at BubbleSolutions.com.
About this video:
This bubble solution recipe isn’t as easy as those basic brew-ups you are used to seeing.
In fact, there are some “secret ingredients” revealed here for the first time and so I’ve taken some heat for it too.
If you’re ready to begin home brewing your own solution, beyond the basics, the recipe on the videos will get you started. Like anything else, experience will make your bubbles & brewing better.
I tried to pack as much good, basic info into one quick video as I could with out overwhelming newbies.
Some of the ingredients are tough to find but they are all available off of the web.
Get the J-Lube at Large Animal Veterinary sites as it was first invented for vets to use when delivering cows. Here’s where I get it: http://www.jefferslivestock.com .
The Surgilube is a (human) personal-medical-use lubricant, similar to KY jelly. You can find it here: http://www.vitalitymedical.com .
The lubes help the bubbles to self-heal (see video).
Two kinds of Dawn, one (non-ultra) is cheap and easy to find at W-Marts and other sorts of stores; the other (Pot & Pan) you’ll find on restaurant supply sites or janitorial supply sites such as: http://www.theyhaveit.com .
Get Kosher Grade glycerin (also spelled glycerine) if you can find it at a health food store in your town, or online. Soap and candle-making sites often have it, try: www.essentialoil.com
If your tap water is “hard” or has wacky pH, use inexpensive bottled/filtered drinking water or spring water. Distilled is good too. .

Have fun. Keep on bubbling!
