I think, that you would be better off with using flour. It is much finer that sugar, (unless you grind the sugar down of course), and much easier to keep in suspension. I would recommend using a 1/8in or larger chinese (has lots of fire and burns really hot!) cannon fuse available at cannonfuse.com, to ignite it.
You could us an RC car motor and a pc fan blade for forcing in air and stirring up the mix, then you could cap it off, light the fuse,,,, and boom!
Edit: You could use a high voltage something to ignite the fuse inside the chamber, that way, there is no holes in the walls....
EDIT: IS ANYONE GOING TO RESPOND TO MY COMMENT!?!?! |

| you should look into the LEL (lower explosive limit) and UEL( upper explosive limit) for sugar, limits between these will give you your air to "fuel" ratio. Have fun |
