hmmm fireworks enthusiast.... I don't quite understand what you mean.
Up here I think we are called pyromaniacs, and if you're lucky enough to know an engineer **** gets blown up constantly. I have 2 engineer friends, who decided to combine their pyromania and build a massive potato gun they called the potato cannon. It was powered by butane, propane, and then hydrogen/oxygen. The last fuel was fun. Think controlled hindenburg. But yeah, we're too poor to afford fireworks, but also smart enough to make fireworks. I'm surprised we haven't died yet. --------------------  (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your (")_(") signature to help him gain world domination. |

I was playing around w/ electrolysis and had a great idea of lighting the resultant gasses.... quite a powerful explosion for the amount of fuel Yeah its electrolysis. My friend used an old power supply from a computer and hooked a series of spoons up to it using 3 of the 12V connections and 3 of the grounds and put his spoon array in a tupperware container. Its kind of sketchy... like meth lab sketchy... but it worked pretty well. You can probably refine this idea using metal plates or something better than household equiptment, he just did it that way because its cheap, doesn't require a lot of fabrication and because he is dangerous. EDIT: I kind of remember something else. He used spoons because they were stainless steel.
