TRACA WITH GROUND SALUTE

That was pretty cool. Is a traca just a bunch of salutes hooked up to quickmatch? Keep up the good work.

Yes, just connect with QM.

And a hole show with many of this chains is called Mascleta :)

 

Look for some videos of it on YT ;)

In Spain it is a big tradition to light these crazy cracker chains over the heads from hundred of peoples :D

 

Sorry for my bad english ^_^

I think the timing was very good. It could be easy to get the quick match to burn through too fast or slowly but irregularly, or does the quickmatch burn fast like normal stuff and the delay is on the individual salutes?

 

I think it could be really cool to have several of these suspended from a tree or similar.

Thanks Seymour,


QM burns very quickly. (Comparable to commercial)

The delay evolves in the individual salutes.


For New Year's Eve I've got something planned. ^_^

(This was just a small test)

I don't think the timing was that good. It was fast than slow than fast for me. The first 3 or 4 is fastest and most noticeable. Still a fun effect though.

Yes that's right.


First I knotted the QM together. Then I have the little salutes

knotted to the QM. I think I've pulled the knot too tight. The result was

probably the delay ?!

"Knotting" (folding over) and tied QM is done on finale racks or chains of devices just for the purpose of slowing the chain down as we have witnessed here. And you're right, varied technique will give varied timing. This is a big problem in things like Mascleta.
