Homemade Fuse Test

An experiment to see if I can make some fuse in time for Victoria Day, so I don't have to stand next to fireworks when they go off anymore. It would be nice to light just one fuse then sit down and enjoy the fireworks with everybody else. It would be safer for me as well.

This fuse was made by grinding match heads into powder, then dissolving the powder in alcohol, and then impregnating some string with the goo, essentially turning it into a long match.

For reasons unknown, the hissing of the fuse did not show up on the sound track, and yet the sound of the computer's fan on the other side of the apartment did.

Go figure.
