Crazy Insane Backyard Fireworks Finale

This was one of the first large fireworks finales I've ever done. It took about 50 hours to wire all these shells together. There were somewhere near 600 festival balls fused together and stacked 4 high in the tubes. Each shell would light the next in the tube. I wish we could have gotten more then about a fourth of it on tape.

There were 500gram cakes mixed in there, saturns, 200 1.4G shells. I modified a bunch of the shells by cutting a hole in them and packing them with fish fuse... others with falling leaf fuse and crackeling fuse. Just wait till this years show... we literally have a box truck full...

We used both... We have a home made firing system that we mad out of computer parts. We use cat5 cable with rj45 ends. The box fires 4 different boards that all have 7 cues and a common ground. We can choose between any of the 7 cues on one or as many as all the woards at once. The firing systems was used to start everyhting, the shells were fused with fast visco from cannonfuse dot com
