50mm Canister shell submission

[Pretty green flame]

Greets

 

This is a 50mm (~2") canister shell fillew with 10mm pumped better pearl stars. It weighed in at 92.6g and it was lifted with a good 8g of -16-20mesh lift (thanks for the tip Al, my shells are going higher now )

 

For the break granulated BP with 1g of whistle mix was used. The shell was spiked only vertically.

 

Here's the movie

I don't mind

 

I use Silver maple for the charcoal, i mill for 3 hours and i press under 2000kg of pressure. I then corn it and sieve it through a 16mesh screen. Everything that stays on the 20mesh screen get's used up for lift. What passes 20mesh gets ground up and is used for spollettes.

Only to bad the pearl effect isn't very good visible

Nice. Whatever camera you're using captures sound fairly well. I could almost feel the concussion of the lift

Really good looking shell, Good long trails and it went nice and high up there. And by the way you have made yourself some real nice lift. Keep up the good work! (beside I love wathing videos of fireworks )

hehe, yeah,. my lift are pretty loud (can be an issue sometimes though ), no problem this time, we had a pyro get together which was amazing and we were situated in an abandoned quarry in the middle of nowhere. , so lots of space and free of annoying peasants
