Dissolved Ping Pong balls are commonly believed to be Nitro Cellulose. This is not usually the case. Most Ping Pong Balls are made from celluloid plastic. If you mix in a good accelerant (say 40 to 60% KNO3) you will come up with something that behaves similar to Nitro Cellulose Lacquer. That way your pyrogen contains both a Fuel and an accelerant. Add the Hot wire from the ESTES igniter ad you have a winning combination.
Of course there are easier options.
Now for a short commercial break …………...
See:
www.QuickBurst.net any of the pyrogen kits will work great as an ESTES Igniter enhancement. I personally would recommend the H-3 Compound. With a bottle of that you can enhance many hundreds of ESTES igniters. Keep the sealed H-3 Compound jar in a Mason Jar to extend freshness, or add a shot of acetone monthly. If it dries out cover the H-3 with acetone and it will be useable the next day.
