Gelatinizing Solvents
I can't seem to find any info on this anywhere...
I'm aware water is a solvent, but can you make, say, kerosene jelly? I've got a little concept that might make a good bot for the Ausbot outdoors competition. If you did do it, i'm assuming you would you need to warm (no flames please XD) the solvent, then add the gelatine, but can you do it at room temperature instead? Also another factor I thought of is the evapouration rate of various solvents, for example methylated spirits, which i'm guessing would evapourate before you could do anything with it (unless the combination traps it somehow). My current concept is to get balls of the stuff and pneumaticaly shoot them, igniting them as they leave the barrel.
By the way, i'm not about to go blow my self up lol so don't stress
EDIT: Hmm gelatinized powders are types of explosives it seems, "military smokeless powders" . Any one able to enlighten this as well? _________________ ( •_•)
