Nice shells man...I really enjoyed the first and third..those splitting comets sure are a lot of work to make, but make a very cool rising effect.

 

Well done, thanks for sharing!.

Your all three shells clips are included in this one YouTube’s video-clip.

Fireworks compilation 2013

Who arranged Fireworks compilation 2013? Where arranged?

As you know that your some shells are color change shells that forms a wave effect, also known as ‘Differently timed shells’ or ‘Ghost shells’. I am aware of couple of Global firework companies involved in manufacturing of such shells. yungfeng fireworks (Taiwan) & some fireworks from Japan. Level of experience required making perfect arrangement of stars inside shells and their right timing should be very high. So I was wondering if you can elaborate about process and would really appreciate that.

Basically they are not wave shells, just collor changing, its just some kind of weird effect that come's from high wind speed or different left over collorchanging stars that I put in one shell, and some irregular rolling I think he he.

 

Here is a list:

 

1: 4" D1, to better pearl, IP suposed to be yellow

2: 3" TT, green pistil

3: 4" leftover stars.

4: 3" D1 & TT 50/50 green pistil.

5: 4" TT, buell red pistil.

6: 4" left over stars

7: 4" left over silver to buell and blue to independence red.

8: 4" granite, aqua IP.

9: 6" blue to strobecore's, majdali purple to better pearl and red inner petal, rising flowers.

10:4" d1 to btr pearl, aqua IP.

11:4" blue to red.

12:7" saturn, spanisch silver ring, spanisch violet to indi red planet, strobe pistil.

13:4" crackling matrix.

14:4" TT to green,aqua IP.

15:7" SOS multicollor.

16:4" D1 to better pearl mixed IP green/yellow/chartreuse.

17:4" salami fail, first break: green outer, blue inner, report ring.

18:4" D1 to chartreuse, green IP.

19:4" spanisch silver.

20:6" indi red to silver tip, blue to red and aqua inner P, rising splitthunder.

21:6" willow diadem, blue IP, splitcomets.

 

Things that come's to mind about wave shells are:

* 2 (slow and fast) burning compositions in different layer thickness rolled to same end diameter.

* verry accurate screening of big dry batches of a star with one specific timing, and combining different timed stars in a shell.

maybey its just as simple as varrying the layer configuration, and using different size dark core's to keep the same end diameter.

I've seen many ordinary color changers that looked vaguely...and on rare occasion even convincingly like ghost shells. I'm not sure the cause but I've seen this phenomenon in competition shells at PGI. A true, well made ghost shell starts the color change at a well defined point and propogates evenly around the sphere.

 

In any case those are some nice shells.

 

What was the "salami fail"? Was it supposed to be more than one break? In any case it looked nice!

Posted
It was suposed to be a 4" 3 break to BS that failed to ignite the second break.

Did you ever figure out what went wrong? Did you use spolettes or timefuse? I love cylinder shells myself, so I'm always curious about 'em even when they don't work right.
Posted

I timed it with timefuse.

It was in a thin passfire tube with same diameter as the fuse, around 5,5 mm, filled with blackpowder.

First plan was to just cover it with blackmatch, later I changed my mind and pulled out the short fuse, and inserted a longer one to accomodate crossmatching.

wat I think is that something from the passfire tube got in between the fuse and BP, or BP setback.

Another option is that the fuse wasn't sticking enough into the first break or something.

Last would be a complete fail of the shell at lift, but I never saw any stars or inserts from the other breaks.

I've searched for the shell for autopsy but I could'nt find it anymore.

 

Next time I would defenitly use drilled back spolette's
