Fireworks prop

[DanoNJ]

Here is my attempt at a fireworks burst. I'm going to post as I go along..

There will be 4 channels of lights on each spoke. Lights will be 50 minis W/R.
I started with 2, 1" thick boards cut in a circle. The boards are screwed together. The burst will have 5 spokes. I drilled in the center 5 - 1" holes approx an inch and a half deep. These will hold couplers for the spokes. I did this to allow for the burst to be disassembled for storage / transportation. The couplers are inserted in the center as shown and the boards are screwed together.

There will be 5 spokes. Here is a picture of the spokes in the hub. Each spoke will have 4 channels of 50 count minis.

That should be really cool looking!
It's amazing the things you can do with the multi-channel light controllers!

That is going to be so pretty, I can't wait to see a video of it in action.

Dano, what type of of system are you using 4 your display to make the lights disperse? It looks awesome cant wait to see!!!

Was this ever finished, or did it run into difficulties?

[DanoNJ]

never finished it. I saw I wasn't going to have it completed in time last year for the 4th, so shelved it. I may resurect it again this year for my Christmas display - stay tuned!

Totally cool Dano cant wait to see!

[Sickie Ickie]

The theory is sound, so I'm very interested.

Sorry your firework prop fizzled out, Dano.
I hope you can re-ignite it soon!

[Sickie Ickie]

I'm sure he'll launch it again soon, EG. :p

[EnlightenedGrinch]

I hope it's not a dud!

[Sickie Ickie]

Naaaah, I'm sure it will be a blast!
