Edit: damn thing. It cuts off the full titles, so put the mouse over the link and it should show the full title at the bottom of your screen, in the bottom bar. Or right click and save as and take a look at the title
Chemguy Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 Thanks a lot for the book! Very usefull, much appreciated.
Mumbles Posted October 11, 2006 Posted October 11, 2006 It should be noted many people consider Lloyd Scott Oglesby to be out of his mind, and in some cases dispute his chemistry. All I am saying is take it with a grain of salt. It is a good read though, expecially for those of us interested in the chemistry of pyrp.
Cherbanov Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 thanks for the book it will help me allot in my way to become a good hobby pyro
FrankRizzo Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 I'm looking for the following files; apparently the folder in which I store my reference books has become corrupted. From backups, I was able to restore everything besides these (3): d_Incarville__Feux_d_Artifice_Chinois_--_1763.pdfProfessional_Homemade_Salutes.pdfprojects_for_the_amateur_scientist.pdf Thanks guys. Edit: Looks like I filled my own request for one of them Professional Homemade Salutes
Mumbles Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 You can have them shipped from the US. Skylighter carries them, as does Prometheus Publications. Media mail, the service used to ship books and papers and other literature is very cheap, even internationally. They could probably be shipped for less than $10 worldwide
shadopyro Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I think its cheaper on amazon.com for Dr Takeo Shimizu's book on pyrotechnics.-I've just ordered it, which should make some very intersting outside reading. Mumbles, would you suggest any other good books on pyrotechnic to buy/find?
Mumbles Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 I'll give a run down of the neccesities. Shimizu - Fireworks: Art Science, and Technique Lancaster - Firework Principles and Practice Davis - Chemistry of Powder and Explosives Hardt - Pyrotechnics Ellern - Military and Civilian Pyrotechnics Pyrotechnica 9 and 11 Sometimes referred to as the Fulcanelli papers Degn - Westech Fireworks Manual Weingart - Dictionary and Manual of Fireworks Those books/papers will give you everything you need to know about pyro, and probably a lot more you don't need to know. They cover just about every topic I can think of. No pyro literature collection is complete without them. A few more below are recomended. They're a bit more specific, but extremely good resources. BAFN is more tips and tricks than anything, but also extremely usefull. Blesser - Round Stars and shells Oglesby - Glitter: Chemistry and Techniques Dimock - Incomplete book of girandolas Best of AFN 2-5
itwasntme Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Heh, thats gotta be $300 at the minimu.. Does anyone have a copy of intro practical pyrotechnics? I really would like a copy, but I have nothing to offer
Mumbles Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Try more like $500. I never said pyro was cheap. I would say get a Shimizu, and Introductory Practical pyrotechnics first. They will run you around around $130, and will probably provide you with the best results. Degn and lancaster are the next I would get in hind sight (~$180). Ellern, Davis, Weingart, and the Pyrotechnica can be found online. HarryC from rec.pyro put them on limewire or something. They should be floating around somewhere. Passfire is also an excellent resource. It however is more for the intermediate pyro. It doesn't have a lot of beginner projects, but it does have a lot very important techniques and such. e-mail this address and ask for the latest catalog. You can pick up a few of the recomended books cheaper. prometheus.publications@cox.net Several more can be had from the following site.www.fireworksnews.com
shadopyro Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Hah wow a real stab in the back how expensive, but worth every penny. Methinks i'll have to get a waitering job on the side to buy all these! Thanks for the list mumbles.
