Short5 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 LOL! That's great if it worked. I love quick, easy novelty type displays. They make for a nice bed time fire fix for the pyro junkie in me. Sooooooo, did it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short5 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I'm lost, please explain.I will let him explain more but it looks to me that he used corrigated card board to make tiny mortar tubes, loaded them with bits of flying fish fuse, and fused the bottom. If it works it should shoot each little fishy one after another. "You'll put your eye out with that thing!"

brimstoned Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Exactly Short...device is still sitting on the bench.Imagine spiralling something like this to a hundred or more.Will video and show if it works or not...heavy appliance cardboard may have a looser fit.Waiting for damper times.

psyco_1322 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 It looks like a bunch of time fuse, are you using burnt time fuse for mini tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usapyro Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 No, he's using the holes in the cardboard as launch tubes. Frigging awesome if it works... Rockets and flaming cardboard! LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyco_1322 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) Oh.....that pic needs something to reference size, that fish fuse looks like 1/4" time fuse. That's why I was so confused. Used to seeing colored fuse, and that looked like that cheap tan time fuse that isn't worth a crap. Edited October 8, 2012 by psyco_1322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Short5 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Well I tried a quickie verson with 7 fuses. I placed them a hole apart from each other rather than every hole. I sprinkled a dash of meal along the bottom and taped a piece of visco along the bottom. The fish stuck and the whole thing went sparkly poof before catching on fire. It was a fail the way i did it.

brimstoned Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 If this does not work, I'll try it again with a larger grade corrugated. The fit isn't tight in this one, but the trust is SO small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brimstoned Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 My first try shot up two out of the lot, I'll try going with a smaller dia. fuse next time.I got a email from Skylighter a couple days ago; I guess they got the idea to function. From Skylighter's email: Not to be outdone by Harry and his world's smallest flying fish fuse rocket, here's a a cool little mini-project of my own for you. And yes, you can still get flying fish fuse for 27% off until midnite tonite at Skylighter.com. So without any further ado let's make... ...The World's Smallest Fireworks Cake! http://www.skylighter.com/images/misc/fireworks-cake.jpg Step 1: Cut out two 3 inch x 1 inch pieces of corrugated cardboard. Step 2: Hot glue one piece of cardboard on top of the other to form a "T" shape (see picture above). You now have a "mini-mortar" rack. Step 3: Using an opened paperclip or piece of wire, poke a fuse hole from left to right all the way through the vertical piece of cardboard. Step 4: Insert a piece of thin Chinese cross-match visco fuse into the hole you just made. Step 5: Cut 20 or so small 1/2" pieces of flying fish fuse (don't use the crackling, it is too heavy). Step 6: Drop a piece of the flying fish fuse into each of the "mini-mortar" tubes. Step 7: Light it, and watch the fun begin. When you light the visco fuse, the flame will travel down the hole you made with the wire. This will ignite each piece of flying fish fuse in succession...creating a tiny fireworks cake!
