The Pyrotechnic Whistle and Its Applications
Whistling compositions have two important characteristics upon combustion: a whistling sound and a simultaneous thrust force. The pyrotechnic whistle is one of the curiosities of special pyrotechnic compositions.
The included examples of several of the author’s inventions are being published to encourage the discovery of new principles, and to expand practice to new applications while improving the old.
In practice there are several types of whistle composition. This book is concentrated on a ‘composition using Potassium chlorate, sodium salicylate, a lubricant, and ferric oxide (Fe2O3; iron (III) oxide) (Oztap 1968). The cheaper potassium chlorate is used instead of perchlorate.
