What is the nozzle made from? That a was damn impressive fountain!

 

Been working on some 3" fountains recently myself. I've wondered how long they could be made before it becomes some kind of issue. Do you know if the comp is pressed into the log, or rammed?

Thank you .!!

as the name given its traditional fountain so we use sticky soil for nozzle......that soil is rammed in hole which is 3 inch in diameter and drilled in wood parallel to length of fountain..... after ramming that soil we just drill 1 inch hole in that rammed soil.

That's impressive that a rammed dirt nozzle is holding up. Thought 1" is rather large of a nozzle, it might help with how tall the fountain gets, while allowing a hotter comp to be used. How thick are the nozzles?

Entire fountain length is 42 inch out of which 13 inch soil is rammed ( in that portion 1 inch hole is drilled parallel to fountain length) then 3 kg of BP consumes 10 inch space in middle then again that soil is rammed in remaining space.

Holly crap, it has a 13 inch thick nozzle? Then another 19 inches of plug on the bottom?

That's insane! I'm sure you have a reason for using so much, but has anyone tried using say 3-4" instead?

Posted

The reason is probably ground soil condition, and erosion when lit.

Traditional creations require compromises. Since they are using ground soil, its free anyway.

B!

For one feet (length of fountain) cardboard tube fountain we use 4 to 5 inch.

see attatched image of one feet small fountain.

Have you tried not drilling the hole the entire length of the log and leave a few inches at one end. And then drill a small hole the same diameter as the nozzle diameter you put in the soil nozzle? It seems like that would hold the soil in much better and allow a shorter section to be used. Just curious though I'm sure there is a reason why it's done the way you describe, if not just for tradition.

As same wood is reused several times and also nozzle diameter in soil depends upon type of black powder (fast burning, moderately burning etc) and formulations of bp composition we just drill the hole throughout entire log.

nozzle diameter isnt fixed for each times, sometimes we drill 1 inch in soil sometimes 3/4 " and so on.....
