Have you downloaded the Turbo Pyro Book?

[Arthur]

IIRC "Turbo Pyro" is available from skylighter as a download.

[SharkWhisperer]

As of today, it is not on Skylighter's website (except for a link to chapter 2, materials required), but if you search for "turbo pyro" on essentially any search engine you will immediately find a pdf of all 175 pages freely available, copyrighted to Skylighter in 2009. Skylighter appears to have been distributing the full manual for free at some point, for a limited time, as a promo to sell their kits.

 

I'm sure they'd sell it on its own, though it's not shown alone on their website that i saw--I'm sure they'd much rather you purchase it as part of their overpriced Turbo Pyro complete kit...

 

Love their selection, but those prices remain borderline extortive, even if it's not Harry pocketing the profit anymore...

A book about how to make pyrotechnics? I'm game, especially if it helps with safety tips (I want to make my own fireworks, but only insofar as I don't blow off my fingers, I've had enough close encounters with fireworks for a lifetime).

Rob,

 

It was written by a friend of mine (and everyone that likes fireworks) Neg Gorski. He made the book simple and as safe as it can be. All of the ingredients can be bought at Skylighter but they can also be bought at most of the vendors here as well. Give Niel from Undergroundgadgets a call and ask what he has. his prices beat most others.

 

I dont think there is a single unobtanium chemical in the lot.

David, just a small correction - it's Ned....

I'm just here for the book, thank you

Is the Turbo Pyro Book available to download? I tried the link but it does nothing.

[Arthur]

Skylighter have some books to download. TurboPyro is not among them though. Maybe Skylighter's big expensive ebook is the best available currently.

 

Sadly good, free and up-to-date rarely go together. Why should wise people with specialist knowledge and years of experience, give all that away for no reward?

[Arthur]

If anyone wants to discus "rights" including copyright look at the Disney company. If you use anything to which they have rights they will sue you expensively and successfully wherever you are in the world. The only reason why private authors do not persue every plagarism of their work is cost.

 

No-one has written a free pyro chemistry book that is current, partly because the art and science evolves with time, and writing a book takes time and getting it published takes even longer.

Just downloaded it, Thanks! Though I grow increasingly worried that I have found another hobby (I really can't afford any more lol)

[Saintsslav]

Cool

I have it some place, have there Kit too, got it when Harry still owned it back in 2010-2011.

Just breaking it out now lol. Using the end burner tooling later, the only thing I lost was my support tube I made. 

I got the OG kit, when Harry tacked on a whole bunch of add ons, freebies, I'm pretty sure at the time I dropped almost 2g on setting up. Then a few months later packed it all up.

 

Nothing like using 12 year vintage chems and kits. But hey. My fuses work, my chems may be chunky now, but they all seem to work. Even the 12 year old Dextrin. So for living 12 years in a basement aging like wine lol I kinda wonder if there smoke kits still work. Also, idk if anyone HAS used there smoke kits(they use chlorate afaik) they smell like horseradish lol 

 

Honestly that's how I found my box of chemicals when I moved, I was like "ooh smells like red gum, horseradish and Sulfur. I must be close" lol
