  Lance extension venturi sleeve - Patent 4729513
The powder stream is thus subjected to increased velocity and turbulence which mixes the powder in the stream, and produces a homogeneous powder stream resulting in a uniform powder spray pattern or "cloud" when the powder is dispensed from the lance extension through the nozzle.
Powder which may have fallen from suspension in the air stream, including powder otherwise accumulated on bottom surfaces of the powder feed passages or lance extension tube, is picked up and recaptured as part of the homogeneous powder stream.
Powder is then blown into the annular space 35 defined between the internal surfaces of the rearward end 25 of the lance extension and a connector sleeve 36 serving to connect the electrodes 15 with the electrode 28.

 Gunpowder Summary
The same volume of powder, depending on its vibration history and whether it was sampled from the top or bottom of the powder container, could either fizzle or burst the gun barrel.
Black powder is a mixture of saltpeter (potassium nitrate or, less frequently, sodium nitrate), charcoal and sulphur with a ratio (by weight) of approximately 15:3:2 respectively.
One of the advantages of fl powder is that precise loading of the charge is not as vital as with smokeless powder firearms and is carried out using volumetric measures rather than precise weight.

 Sifting Gun Powder for Better Performance
Gunpowder caught on the #30 sieve (710 to 600 micron) had a muzzle velocity standard deviation of 16 fps, while the standard deviation for the #35 sieved powder (600 to 500 micron) was 12 fps, and the adjusted standard deviation for the #45 (500 to 355 micron) is 8 fps.
The powder collected on the #35 sieve was about 41 to 43% of the whole or the mid size particles, these produced velocities very close to the non-sieved powder.
The group shot with the powder collected on the #30 sieve was 40% better, and the powder collected on the #35 sieve was 56% better, while the powder collected on the #45 sieve was 38% better.

 Dixie Gun Works muzzleloading, blackpowder and rare antique gun supplies.
Modern factory loads using smokeless powder are loaded to the same pressure as the original fl powder cartridges and are safe to shoot in Dixie's reproduction fl powder cartridge guns.
Increasing the powder charge to near maximum levels will lead to diminishing returns on the efficiency of the load, as you will experience significant increases in pressure with only marginal gains in velocity with an adverse effect on accuracy.
Recommended loads are as follows: 20 gauge -- 65 grains of FFG fl powder and 1 ounce of shot, 12 gauge -- 75 grains of FFG fl powder and 1 1/8 ounces of shot, and 10 gauge -- 85 grains of FFG fl powder and 1 1/4 ounces of shot.

 history of black powder - gunpowder history
In light of this, when you see reference to burning rate of Black Powder, the reference is to the speed of passage of the flame front that brings ignition through the mass of powder, not the speed of the reaction of the ignited powder itself.
With rough handling of the powder containers, as was common to travel in solid wheel wagons over the primitive roads of the time, the smaller ingredients would settle to the whatever part of the container that was the bottom during transport.
Vital to their life, Black Powder was instrumental in providing the game they ate, in warding off the ever-increasing number of savage attacks, and even to start the life saving fire of the wet woods traveler.

 United Nuclear - Black Powder Manufacture
Black powder is produced in large quantities commercially, and sold in small 1 pound containers, mainly for use in antique Black Powder guns.
As far as fireworks are concerned, Black Powder is used both in its finely powdered form (Meal Powder) for coating starts and for mixing in other pyrotechnic formulas, and in its granulated form (Lift Powder) for launching shells out of a mortar, or stars out of a Roman Candle.
If you were to use Flash Powder to launch a shell out of a tube, or a bullet out of a gun, it would barely move the shell or bullet, and completely destroy the mortar or gun, most probably injuring the operator.

 Real Guns Book Review - Gun Powder
I have a theory that we are struggling to retain private ownership of firearms because we have allowed anti gun groups to separate firearms from the context of the history of civilization and allowed them to define guns only in the context of an illiterate gang member robbing a local liquor store.
What is being lost is the understanding of firearm history, the defenses of nation and ideals, the pioneer, the explorer, the legitimate gun owner.
We've let guns become a small and narrow story that is easy for anti gun groups to misrepresent and exploit.

 Gunpowder Plot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This could imply that it was rendered harmless due to having separated into its component chemical parts, as happens with gunpowder when left to sit for too long – if Fawkes had ignited the gunpowder, during the opening, it would only have resulted in a weak splutter.
Alternatively, "decayed" may refer to the powder being damp and sticking together, making it unfit for use in firearms.
The compression would have created a cannon effect, with the powder first blowing up from the top of the barrel before, a millisecond later, blowing out.
