The biggest danger with mortars is people getting body parts over the muzzle. Having a mortar shell impact your noggin is a very good way to learn how to push daisies upwards. It happens pretty much every year, sadly. As you might guess, alcohol is usually involved.

When I lived on the island of Okinawa as a kid we had easy access to buy fireworks at the local shops. One popular firecracker was named ‘ 2B Bomb’
It was a longish cylinder and instead of a fuse you had to light it had kind of a matchhead, and you could just rub the head on a rough surface and it would aizzle then start smoking as the internal fuse caught and after a few seconds it would explode. Not very powerful, but very convenient for kids without matches.
Of course one of our gang stuck a couple in his pocket and while running around playy the heads of two 2B Bombs must have ignited each other because smoke started coming out of his pockets and he frantically tried to dig them all out before they went off😅

I wouldn’t describe the smell of sulfur dioxide as akin to “rotten eggs.” That is far more typical of hydrogen sulfide gas. Sulfur dioxide smells sharp and acrid – it burns your nose, and you can taste/feel it at the back of your throat (as it dissolves in your mucous membranes and creates sulfurous acid, not to be confused with sulfurIC acid which is ~5X stronger*). I have spent a good deal of my life working on, and exploring volcanic environments, and sulfur dioxide is frequently present in those places, especially the ones where magma is either erupting or close to the surface. And it is the same sort of thing that you experience downwind of a long fireworks show. Or, for that matter, when you strike a match.
*However, sulfur dioxide, both as a gas and dissolved in water as sulfurous acid, is an atmospheric precursors to sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid – it’s not as stable a molecule, and tends to be oxidized to the much stronger acid.

I mean, it’s not weird many people don’t like the smell of fireworks. It doesn’t just emit carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide, but also toxic metals into the air, which are shown to damage cells and lung tissue. So I think its a pretty natureal reaction for a lot of people, it’s not healthy to breath in.

Great professional presentation!!! One very small correction: NOTAM used to be an acronym for NOtices to AirMen. The FAA recently changed it to NOtices to Air Missions. KInda silly, but I guess the FAA gets paid by changing regulations – not by leaving things alone!
@nercksrule
July 3, 2024 at 7:32 pm
The FARs were originally written in the late 70s, when there were not many women pilots.
Point of fact, the FARs still list a telegram as an acceptable form of communication of notifying the FAA of a change of address.

I have to completely disagree about the consumer VS pro Pyro. It’s all very clever marketing, there is no difference in those larger 3″, 4″, 5″ canister shells, the powder weight is the same. The pros measure shells by diameter, consumer measures vertically, they’re all essentially the same diameter. The girl who made the comment is clearly low information, and based of feeling rather than fact.

Anyone in portland oregon that wants to buy fireworks goes across the river to Washington and buys real fireworks. Anything sold at a “tent” in Oregon is a joke.

Sparkler horror stories here!
@obiwanpez
July 7, 2024 at 3:29 am
My son was 4 when we handed him a sparkler. He was awed, and held it at arm’s length. Then a bug flew into his eye, and he involuntarily went to scratch his eye… with the hand with the sparkler.
His eyelid was immediately burned, fortunately no damage to his eye, but it took some time to get any sort of idea as to what happened. We had to eventually hold him down to determine if his eye had either been hit by a spark or he poked his eye.
Fortunately it was only the eyelid, and we had doused him with cold water.
TIP for parents: hold young kids’ hands containing the sparkler and make nice patterns with them.

The San Diego malfunction was caused by a design flaw in the electronic firing setup where the computer that was commanded to test and check all the shells for electrical continuity at once sent the full firing voltage to the e-matches instead of a lower voltage that’s normally used for continuity checks that won’t sent them off, just be enough to see a complete circuit. With the full voltage, when the computer tested all the shells at once, it fired all the shells at once. I’m an LA based pyro tech, and this was the story I ended up hearing through the grapevine.

So far the best nashiki shell I’ve found consumer wise is the raccoon brand one, we had them this last fourth and they were the hit of the night, BIG willows that just hung, people were able to take great pics cause the hang time, it was a rainy day so I wasn’t worried about launching them

Sulfur produces hydrogen sulfide which smells like rotten eggs. If you burn the sulfur it makes sulfur dioxide which smells totally different, you could describe it as acidic

Indian reservations are good places to buy fireworks. They don’t have the same restrictions on what they can sell, plus you save some money due to no sales tax.

I did a stint as a volunteer pyrotechnician and I have to say it was the most fun job I’ve had. At the time we were hand firing, so right up close to the action; The **Fssthp** of quickmatches passing fire followed by the immense THUD you could feel in your chest as lifting charges ignited, the smoke, and smell of burned black powder, a very visceral experience. The only downside was loading up all the mortar racks and searching downrange for rocket sticks and shell casings once it was all over. It’s something that any lover of pyro should do at least once in their life.
