Brilliant fireworks display that you control yourself. My new graphics card really shows off it capabilities here! Kewl!

Ah, Chris, you too enjoy neat sights and sounds. Take several feet of Saran Wrap and tie overhand (granny) knots in it at random interals from 6 inches to 18 inches or so, make some of them double overhand knots (at random). Hang this up vertically in a fire safe location with out too much wind. Place a large bucket or basin of water directly under the plastic (this is not just fire safety but part of the aparatus causing the neat effects). Light the bottom of the saran wrap, careful to not let molten plastic get on you as it can cause a painful burn. Should produce quite a show with both good color fire effects and some neat sound effects. You do need a relatively quiet environment to appreciate the sound portion of the effects.

Patrick,

I learned that trick as a kid when I had to take the trash out to the burn barrel. I learned early on to pull out all plastic bottles and jugs and make flaming bombs with them. My favorite was a bleach jug because it was so big. My brother and I would poke a stick in the hole and stick the jug in the fire and getting it burning real good. Then we would firebomb bugs, anthills and anything else we could find. I loved the little voooott, voooottt, vooottt noises it would make as the burning blobs of plastic sped toward the ground.

We had the making of good little pyromaniacs. We never burned down the house or anything else of importance so I guess we done good.

When I was a kid we always had the best fireworks in our neighborhood because one of the neighbors was the chief of the fire prevention bureau. We got first pick of all the confiscated fireworks. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Absolutely love the explanation below the screen.

<font color=blue>If it clicks with a mouse, fireworks will go up to the position.
It is fairly beautiful if it hits repeatedly. Please try a various way.

Flash after the smoke under rise or explosion is rather beautiful.
Fireworks with a fantastic atmosphere can be launched.
The number of the maximum bits 10,000 pieces.</font color=blue>

English translator must be backfiring, but that only makes it more fun. Thanks for the link!

Oh, BTW, any of you young Einstein's ever try to catch one of those little flaming plastic meteorites as they fall to Earth? I'm afraid I did. Once. /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

But Chris, amigo, you gloss over the important contribution made by the water...

We both failed to emphasize doing it in the dark but don't skip the water, it lends a good sssss to the voot so you get flaming meteors going voot hiss voot hiss. Pretty good pre-Starwars visual/aural effects. Never thought to "bomb" anthills... I just happen to have some plastic bottles and ant hills... Ahh a burning plastic "Death Star" raining terror upon the evil red exoskeletal menace armed with formic acid injector weapons. OOPS, sorry I'm back now.

Patrick (Please lurking censors, no scathing emails rearding my callous attitude toward ants! I was just joking, actually I don't mind ants so much as individuals but with a large mob of them out on the prod, it makes me nervous.)
