SharkWhisperer Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 This effect looks completely badass. Anybody here ever build floating mortars that work like these? Would like to see a teardown of the weighting and water-proofing. Probably pretty easy to recreate. Two different effects, both nice: https://www.reddit.com/r/fireworks/comments/14w4lzy/can_anyone_identify_this_coolest_thing_ive_seen/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 The detail will be in the tube that was launched with the shell fuse already lit. Probably a 1" shell in a mortar that floats for just long enough, the right way up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkWhisperer Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) This video is better--testing of various water cake effects at a Chynese factory. Skip the first minute or so unless you want to refresh your Mandarin skills. Yup, RT, firey motorboats would be very cool.
