  • How did you manage to get the trust ?

  • @Josbaj I th8ink you mean thrust? I was using 2 fountains as drivers...they were NOT commercial drivers that one would use. I may try to get a wheel set up for a shoot I have coming up this Friday...I'm thinking 4 fountains this time.

  • and if u used four?

  • Hmmmm.... not sure. This particular set-up is designed for only 2 "drivers"...I think better drivers would make the difference rather than more small ones.

    Just my untried opinion.

  • I think it will spin harder if you shorten the bar ?

    or am I wrong ?

  • Giving it some thought...yes, that should work. The "drivers" I was using were small 1.4 Consumer Fireworks... what would be MUCH better would be to use actual 1.3 Display fireworks drivers.

    Unfortunately, I am not yet licensed for those... when I am, I will post those results.

  • oh - and be aware of the ejection charge set at the end of the end of the smoke burn cycle (I would gently remove the clay (pale grey) and then the ejection charge (black and chunky) until I reached the smoke layer and then simply re-seal the motor with clay and paper - unfortunaely I suspect this is not within regulatory parameters so I would STRONGLY reccommend that you consult local regulations before any public display.

  • In fact - if you were to set A3 model rocket engines next to those display drivers, and place a metal or nylon bushing(s) between the bar and axel and lubricate - you ought to be able to get a great deal of speed if you fire them simultaneously -

  • @Flym0nkey dont think so

  • u should put ball bering in it then it would spin really fast
