Longest Fireworks Party

Liuyang (China) is hoping to get into the record books by letting off a twelve-and-a-half mile string of firecrackers. A total of 35 fireworks factories in Liuyang city, Hunan province, have worked together to create the firecrackers.

Zeng Mengxiong, the chief technician of the project, said, "We are doing this to celebrate the upcoming Liuyang International Firecracker Festival."

Zeng estimates it will take 85 to 90 minutes for all of the firecrackers to explode. The firecrackers will be let off on the opening day of the festival, October 26, when onlookers will be kept back a safe distance. The government says it is applying to have officials from the Guinness Book of Records present on the day of the event.

Manfacturing This String of Firecrackers



Test the Firecrakers

(News from fireworkstown.com)The world's longest firecrackers had been finished in Changchong Town, Liuyang city on October 21, the total weight of this string of firecrackers is about 2,900 kilograms and the length is 23 kilometers.

Moreover, this string of firecrackers has adopted many new technologies:

A. The speed of setting off can be controlled.

B. It can be normally set off even though pour water on the firecrackers.

C. No potassium chlorates are contained into the firecrackers and no repulsive smell.

D. Composite materials are instead of clay, almost no dust when it is set off.

E . The average weight is only 12.5 kilogram per 100 meters, however, the traditional firecrackers is 32.5 kilogram per 100 meters.

That's quite incredible, I wonder how much flash was used all together.
