Hello Guys,
I'm 16 and I love pyrotechnics ! I like Physical science and chemistry too ! I was wondering if I could do a job of a pyro (live of that). Wich studies must I do ? I'm living in Canada (Quebec) and I want to know where I could find a mentor who could teach me on the field.
Thanks for help.

Hello guys,
I have a problem with my black powder. I want to use it as a lift for my small mortars but it doesn't burn anough fast. Then, I ballmilled it 9 hours so it burned faster but I'm still unable to lift a simple empty tube to more than 2 feet. I saw many place where they say to put some lift black powder but even my powder can't lift something. I'm using 0.48'' lead balls for ball milling with good grade chemicals. I use my own charcoal from hard wood. The only way I can obtain an ?explosion? (if we can call that like this) is by putting the BP in a small paper bag.
Help please
Thank You

Hello everyone,
I tought it could be a good idea to add two new sections on this forum (or 1 if we combine them) These sections are
- A How-to section to teach how to build devices.
And
- A ?show? section where we can put pictures of our devices and videos of them.

Ok here is small devices made in only few minutes. They aren't made to be beautiful I only wanted to test my black powder.

Pictures:

Second one:


And now, few videos of the devices in action
