Aerolites

08 March 2008 - 09:28 PM

Hi,

does any of you folks have additional information on a device called "aerolite". This is probably a mature effect, but sounds promising.

Weingart (and similarly the Westech Manual) describe this as follows:

AEROLITES: "These are made by placing a comet star at the bottom of a short gun with a blowing charge but no match. Over the star is placed 2 inches of candle composition and over this 1 inch of bengal fire." [WEINGART, p. 129, reprint 2001 by Survival Press]

It is not clear to me what this device is supposed to look like resp. behave like. How is it supposed to be ignited?
Any help is welcome.

Thanks,
