Love your videos man I just got one question, at the bottom of the shell where the bp is does it need to be strong or does it explode when lit and the tube does the job by directing the gas upwards which propels the shell
Thanks! No, the lift cup can be anything that will hold the BP. It can be in a plastic Baggie and taped over the time fuse if you wanted to. The tube is like you said, it projects the shell via the gases. That’s why the shell needs to be a snug fit, but not too tight.
Veo tus video aun que estén en otro idioma y trato de entender, soy un aficionado a la pirotecnia, pero no consigo tan buenos resultados,me guataria que en algún momento consideraras poner subtitulos en Español 😢.
I do 10% plus a gram for my 3 inch shells. My timing Is 2.5 seconds. Haven't made anything bigger. Don't really have a good place to do it where I live. I'd end up in the neighbors cornfield lol.
Thanks for this video series. Very informative.🔥🔥
Love watching your videos, super informative! I hope to one day have the space to be able to build my own shells!
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Do you live in Northern Illinois, id love to see you build a ball shell in person so that i could learn hands on to do it as well
Nope. I’m in North Carolina!
Glad to see your videos again. Do you build cylinder shells?

@ thanks a lot for your help
Are you going to set it off? With video?
I launching a mans ashes with 6" shells, my shells weight 48 oz, would 5 oz of black powder be a good lift amount?
Yes. That should reach a good height.

Why not epoxy?
You could use that but hot glue is quick to dry, and no mixing.
Sir please give more information throw these videos and continue gives new more videos.
