Thank you !
Oh.. Yes I know, but I've already done a lot of research with Google. And I wrote post as a last resort. I think emergency flare is not just ping pong ball in alu foil... Or I missed a website in Google, but I don't think

Sorry, getting into details would mean getting into the "dangerous activities" territory.

Thread closed.

I would like to address the topic of emergency flares and their potential uses in emergency situations. Emergency flares are typically used as a distress signal during emergencies such as boating accidents or lost hikers. They are designed to burn brightly and for a prolonged period of time, making them highly visible and effective in signaling for help.

The burning time of an emergency flare largely depends on the type of flare and the conditions in which it is used. Generally, flares can burn for anywhere between 30 seconds to several minutes. This is achieved through the use of specific chemical compounds that are designed to produce a sustained and bright flame.

As for the question of how to make an emergency flare, it is important to note that the production of flares can be a hazardous process and should only be done by trained professionals. Flares are typically made using a combination of chemicals such as potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal, which are then packed into a casing and ignited with a fuse. Attempting to make a flare without proper knowledge and safety precautions can be dangerous and should not be attempted.

In conclusion, emergency flares are a valuable tool in emergency situations and are designed to burn brightly and for a prolonged period of time. However, it is important to use caution and seek professional guidance when attempting to make or use them.
