JFeve81 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Not bad. I liked the safety switch bit. What was the explosion effect? Cremora? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fish Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 It was 4 2-gallon buckets, each filled less than halfway with creamer. I spread them out hoping for a wider looking fireball, but it didn't seem to make much difference. The fireball was about twice as high as what was in frame.

AirCowPeacock Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 How much lift did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flying fish Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 I just dump in powder (2FA or homemade equivelent) until I can't see the bottom of the bucket, I've never measured it out exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirCowPeacock Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Ive been experimenting a bit with cremoras and ghost mines a bit as of late. I havn't been using much lift, I figure all I really need to do is add enough lift to light it and get it in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same thing here, then just cover the BP with a paper towel or tissue paper and fluff the creamer on top. I like an ematch in the center of the bottom of the bucket for ignition, makes some nice rolling fireballs. -dag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
