dagabu Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 (edited) I am just guessing here so correct me if I am wrong but the comets have their own guns that they are propelled from? And each have a time fuse on them for timing? I'll take two cases please Edited March 27, 2011 by dagabu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boule Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 ...here is a photo of the shell. Did you time-fuse the comets seperately or just run some fuse through the lot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan999ification Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 great job!iv'e been toying with these and will test one tommorow. [the comets] one question that troubles me, is it just a bp sandwich or are there any other components as mine rattle a bit and it worries me they wont travel to my shoot site too wellprobably just me worrying too much but i like evrything tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comets 1" x 3/4". I use about 2grams of 4f g between the two comets.Hope this answers your question.BJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredhappy Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Very nice rising effects BJV ! These rising effects create such a nice tension before the break, as opposed to just a big rising comet. Break is also nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumbles Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Do the time fuse from the ascending split comets light well enough from just the lift gasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExplosiveCoek Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 What is the red stuff on your timefuse? Nice shell ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJV Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Do the time fuse from the ascending split comets light well enough from just the lift gasses?Mumbles the time fuse is cross matched with thermalite, I cross match all my time fuse with it.BJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJV Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 What is the red stuff on your timefuse? Nice shell !ExplosiveCoek I cover the cross match time fuse with tissue paper. It's just to protect the shell from a stray spark.BJV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marks265 Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've been so busy with so many things I missed this thread, and for a long time no doubt. Anyway, great job BJV! Each effect took fire and was clearly seen. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
