Many people think that it is difficult and dangerous to carry out this type of experiment with explosives, but they are very simple and if you follow the steps to follow you will not have anything to worry about. It is recommended to conduct the experiment of homemade gunpowder with an adult.
I have made this article because I think that the Internet does not explain all the steps that must be followed to leave in a clear and simple way the security aspects that we have to take into account, since it can be an innocuous experiment for some and a I experience a little dangerous for others:

Read carefully the materials we will need to make homemade gunpowder:
1) 3 Pills (Small size) of KCL (potassium chloride).
2) 3 spoonfuls of sugar.
How do we find a KCL or potassium chloride tablet?
In pharmacies we can find this type of pills, it is not dangerous or anything this type of pills so you can buy it even if you are even minor and has a relatively low price.
Procedure to perform:
We have to crush the tablet until it is perfectible as a fine powder, and so with the other 2. The powder that remains we will have to throw it on a piece of paper next to the sugar you will have to take 3 tablespoons of sugar.
The experiment is already finished, you will only have to put what we have prepared previously in a half-closed paper, and turn it on.
One piece of advice I have to give is that you do this homemade gunpowder experiment outdoors, because you can burn something if you are in a place with a roof.
It is also important that it is not a day with a lot of air, since it could be that the experiment does not work or it can explode for some unknown cause.
