Uses "Dragon Wool" - could this be the sollution to the somewhat potential litter issue of metal in glow lanterns?

It's exactly the substance I have suggested using in the 'Sky Lantern, UFO, Khoom Fay' topic. Fibreglass or Fibre Glass. I've tried it a few times. It's an almost perfect solution. Looks like I've been beaten to the patent office.

Can I also suggest a great way of gaining thousands of hand written signatures within the next four weeks.

If you really want to get numbers up on this petition, approach every dedicated fireworks retail outlet and ask if they would be interested in obtaining a signature from every single customer that walks through the door. It's in the shop keepers interest and it's in the customers interest.

Maybe draught up a petition template for them to print off?

I'm with you on the E-petition too.

This needs to be done quick sharp I would say. To miss out on this seasons opportunities would be a very real shame!!!

Ice fountains = good idea!

The comp is pressed/rammed in ice fountains so no fear of it coming out when spinning on the end of your staff.

Should've really stated that those photos are not mine

Also, what may look like coloured alcohol in those pics is actually achieved by using cold cathode tubes, LEDs, and electroluminescent wire!

I do have a few staff shots online here, but nothing quite as impressive as TCB's wares...

ahh bum. Impressive nonetheless.

Smaller bore whistles are quieter, but have less fallout. A whistle to bombette insert doesnt have this problem though as the debris is blown apart, however a 30mm probably 3mm+ thick walled insert tube landing on your head still intact is going to hurt! So yes smaller bore whistles are preferable in purely whistle devices.

Larger bore whistles are quite a nice contrast to small pen-lid style whistle units though. Howling Comets for one. A deeper whistle creating the 'howl' sound and a much longer burn time/altitude and more visual tail effect stands these items in good stead for me. I think the fallout from a large rocket is the most hazardous. Hot metal motor casings, big long sticks and sharp fragments of plastic raining all over the place. I'd rather have a load of cakes ta.
