Recommended Posts

This was our (I work together with Lebanj12) first 8'' shell, but I think it came out pretty well. Here are some pictures taken during assembly: http://www.shrani.si/f/2B/uE/4isU7zFF/1/dsc00121.jpg

The shell weighed 2500g and was lifted with 200g of blackpowder.

The shell was fired as a part of NYE fireworks.

Very Nice work what kind of break charge do you use? Nice stars as well.

Break charge was BP on rice hulls spiked with some slow flash.

Holy crap FREAKYDUTCHMEN, they were awesome, some real nice breaks, what did you use exactly for there breaks? and what break would you use for a 5" ball shell.

 

Brocade shells are really nice.

Thanks, both were meal coated ricehulls and flashbreaks, sorry, can't tell too much about it because it's secret(layers, formula and amount etc.)

Oh well, that isnt very nice now is it, lol. Why is it so secret? just wondering....I'll just have to expiriment my self I guess.

In the commercial pyro bussiness many things are secret, like compositions, break charge and so on. I've got some information from a friend who owns 2 factories.

There are some factories who's hiring pyrotechnicians for sertain effects or colors, these pyro technicians do not tell how the composition is made, because if they do, well then they are superfluous.

 

So it means you have to do quite a lot of test or meet the right persons (with a bit of luck of course).
