Zumber Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Devil's fountain! What size?42 inch length, 3 inch ID. see attatched image in my previous reply. Edited November 19, 2015 by swapnilsutar1988 1
Zumber Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 Yes yes.....3 inch hole drilled at the center parallel to the length of tree. 1
psyco_1322 Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 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?
Zumber Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 What is the nozzle made from? 02That a was damn impressive fountain! 0202Been working on some 3" fountains recently myself. 02I've wondered how long they could be made before it becomes some kind of issue. 02Do 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. 1
psyco_1322 Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 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?
Zumber Posted November 24, 2015 Author Posted November 24, 2015 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. 1
psyco_1322 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Holly crap, it has a 13 inch thick nozzle? Then another 19 inches of plug on the bottom?
Zumber Posted November 26, 2015 Author Posted November 26, 2015 Holly crap, it has a 13 inch thick nozzle? Then another 19 inches of plug on the bottom? Yes you are right...... 1
psyco_1322 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Yes you are right...... That's insane! I'm sure you have a reason for using so much, but has anyone tried using say 3-4" instead?
MrB Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 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!

FloridaCracker Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 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.
Zumber Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 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?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.....
