braddsn Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hey guys... do any of you know what this rising comet comp might be? I have noticed that a lot of big shells use it, and even some of the smaller japanese shells. It seems pretty popular. It seems pretty white at the head, but with a nice orange-ish trailing tail. And any idea what makes the tail trail so long? Large mesh Ti sponge maybe?? Ok it's the shells that fire as soon as the video starts. Thanks!

nt8 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I don't think the rising comet contains Ti, maybe comet with coarse charcoal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5086 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Ferro Titanium perhaps. Those Japanese shells are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odan56 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Realgar? I made some open throat (nozzle less) rockets once from BP, with realgar, and lampblack laced in. Flame was white, the tail was orange/red. Here's an old vid from pyrobin: 10yo son filmed it. Blame him, he's 20 now and 2X my size. http://pyrobin.com/files/picture%20or%20video%20001.mpg Dan K.

LiamPyro Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Looks to me like a charcoal streamer + FeTi or Ti or maybe Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamPyro Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The percentage of metal powder, if any, is probably small as they aren't extremely bright or washed out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5086 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 While we're at it, that green strobe at 1:20 is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odan56 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looking at it again, could be the camera aperture is open more to catch the effects. Notice how bright the break? A lot of the stars have it too. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
