Testing Canister Shells & Fusing Techniques to Fire like a Cake

  • After our tests we can confirm that the only inconsistency lies within the time-fuse built into the shell itself. That is out of our control. What IS in our control is the pace at which the shells leave the mortar rack tubes. We started with the 10 second a ft fuse then the 3 second a ft fuse. Then, we tested the 0.03-1.25 second a ft quick fuse and finally the 0.01-0.03 second super quick hobby fuse. I think our favorite pace was definitely the 1.25 second quick fuse since the shells exited the tube at the same pace as a 1/1 cake would fire. Hope this helps and hope you all enjoyed!

      It would be smart if a manufacturer would make a 500 mine cake with 1.75' tubes fib/HD tubes. So it just shot a mine but you can drop you favorite Canerster shells inside. They could also make single shot 1.75' mines. You pop the top of drop in a canister shell put in rack and fuse the them all together. Every shell then has a mine effective.

    This seems like a good idea for pre-staging a show. I don't like setting up my racks too soon and having them sit in the garage but with this technique you could get all your timings down and run the fuse days in advance and then dump the shells in day of in 30 minutes. Worst case your fuse goes off which is a lot safer than having a rack go off. It also looks like it would be cleaner for taping against fuse jump.

      I didn't do this exact fusing method but I did use the quick fuse to fuse together the last 10 shots of my finale rack a few years ago with quad break shells. It was intense.

    I had done this a couple of years back with a repurposed Excal tube rack and my last pack of quick fuse. The sound of the lift charge alone was enough to sober up the drunk people. Just got a box of fuses, including the four that you used plus three other speeds, so it's on again this NYE.🤙🏽

    I just did my whole show last night the way you showed how to cake fuse mortars. 265 mortars and 63 cakes. I tested a few identical mortars side by side the week before. I did notice about 10-15 ft less in lift. It wasn't too noticeable so I decided to fuse them all cake style. It was worth being able to fire them EXACTLY when you want to with a firing system, but I will pry not be doing it again. HUGE problem is that not all cannisters are the same. I had about 20% of the mortars break EXTREMELY low, like dangerously low shooting crackle pretty close to the spectators. You could masking tape the cannisters to the point of being a tight fit in the tube, but that's way too much time for every mortar. Maybe just a finale rack? It is a neat concept and I did use half fiberglass tubes with no issues.

    The last silver fuse was what I usually picked up at my usual spot, as well as some cannon fuse. I would have to say that once you make/use quickmatch sticky match, and/or E-Fire you'll find it hard to resist wanting to use it everytime.

    I can confirm that no mater how the lift powder is contained in the bottom of the tube, be it taped into the shell or just dumped in the tube it will have absolutely no deference in lifting the shell whatsoever! The key here is the width of the shell in the tube, be there not to large of a gap between the tube wall and the shell, no matter how the lift powder is attached or unattached to the shell if the shell is the right size for the tube “meaning it has no more then a 5mm to 7mm gap to the tube wall when loaded, and if the lift powder was correctly weighed for the shell, it will fire.” ✌🏼

    This opens up opportunities for variations in the display. Multiple racks with variations in the timing within groups in a rack. For the pyro-technician, electrical fusing gives the best control. However, for the occasional technician/pyro-artist, using timing through fusing would provide a great show.

    The more compact your gun powder is the bigger the booom! I make homemade firecrackers with gun powder and the key for it to sound like a salute is making sure it is nicely compacted and tapped up with electrical or duct tape.

  • @zackthechargerman

    Hey Cody, I really hope you see this, I wanted to ask you a question about the fusing in this video.
    We are looking to do something similar, but had an idea on how to do it without all of the small length fuses, and wanted your opinion on it.
    Would it be possible to drill your holes in your tubes, (as you did here), but instead of drilling them at angles, drill them straight across the tube, and then just run one long fuse through each one tube? Then there's no gluing to keep each individual fuse in place, and it's one fuse going all the way through your rack. I'm curious if you think this will work! Please respond, thanks.

    I know it's a little riskier and potentially legally ambiguous, but have you thought about taking black powder, like you'd get for a muzzleloader at a gun store, and "boosting" the lift charge to possibly get higher breaks from the cans?

    • @NathanRChristie

    • @lightitrun5209
      @lightitrun5209 Месяц назад

      I thought the same thing. One problem is the internal time fuse of the shells is usually about 2 seconds, translating to about 175-200 ft of height. Lifting the can another 25-100 feet, I think the shell would have already gone off before max height. Guess you should experiment. I remember 2" shell 200 ft safety distance, 3" shell 300ft and so on.

    the effects are really nice,

    the only thing that wasn't so nice were the last two rows,
    which were too fast to enjoy the effects.
    looked like one big effect. (with leftovers swept together)
    should look better if you load all the mortars with the same effect
    and then maybe angle them from side to side
    but whatever, keep going
