Me, i "just" mostly made some fun stuff happen with KNO3 mixed with sugar and sometimes other interesting things.

*Ooh look at all those pretty colours!*
For my rockets, I used zinc powder and sulfur. For my black powder, I used potassium chlorate. And I did get in trouble over some nitroglycerine. The CO2 canisters were the same, though.
