A while back I posted a video on igniting propellant grains with a 1.1W laser:
YouTube - 1.1W Laser Igniting Rocket Propellants.m4v
Someone asked about them and I posted a link to my company's website where we sell rocket motor reloading kits and other products. Problem was, those kits come with a lot of extra parts which added to the price. So I've created a "Laser Demonstration Propellant Grain Pack" especially for the laser community.

A lot more fun than lighting matches, please just use them responsibly (and OUTDOORS in a safe location). The price is $5 per pack, which will usually include 6-7 grains weighing at least 100 grams total that can be easily cut into smaller pieces.
I haven't tried it yet, but it would be interesting to see how far away you can light these. :lasergun:
Yes there is is shipping cost so you may want to order more than one pack, this propellant must be shipped Parcel Post with a shipper's declaration due to the hazardous nature of the material.
Thanks!
