I suspect that the pipe used for the video may not be the actual mortar used to fire the mines, and was just chosen to make the shot easier. Therefore it wouldn't really matter what material it was.

How bizarre

In Topic: Fountains Formulas

Tested out a titanium fountain today, using a formula I had had success with in the past. 1" ID, 8mm nozzle. I was hoping for a slightly longer burn time, and a lower burn height! It reached an easy 30ft, but only lasted a few seconds. Uploading a video to youtube currently.

We were all amused by Pymp's shoddy attempt at flight rocket salvo that blew up on launch, taking out my own in the process. A safety demo in itself :rolleyes:


Haha, that was mad. We were testing quickmatch linking, and firing several rockets from a single fuse out of a mortar rack. One of my slightly too eager rockets meant that we were firing even more from a single fuse than we had anticipated!

In Topic: Buying chemicals.

Hello all,

My Keten order arrived today, and was all ship shape.... except for a few tubs unlabeled (but easily identifiable thankfully), and 3kg of dark pyro aluminium was missing. Also, some containers simply had the chemical name written on them in pen, and none of them had any hazard warnings or safety precautions on them! The PVC came in empty drinks bottles, but everything else was in plastic sealed containers. However, it arrived in just over 2 months after placing the order, which could have been much worse..

EDIT: Having contacted him about the missing aluminium, he has realised where he got confused, and is willing to rectify the problem. He has his faults as a business, but I still find him a friendly and helpful guy.
