In Topic: UKPS 2012 AGM

28 April 2012 - 09:03 PM

Hey guys,

I've had a thought. If anyone wants to buy some products (igniters, firing systems, wire, whatever ...) and NOT PAY SHIPPING, email me on sales@easypyro.com with your order no later than Wednesday 2nd and I'll bring it down to the AGM.

The web shop is www.easypyro.com

All the best,

Andrew @ EasyPyro

Nice one. Are you going to bring down some Step13 units for us to have a play with? They look like decent compact units from what I've just looked at.


Sure, I'll bring down a few and some other bits and bobs. You never know, something amazing might end up in the raffle :)

Would be great to have you at the AGM, I'm sure many on here have seen your website. AGM attendance grows each year and I imagine we'll be expecting much closer to 80 than 8 (hopefully more).


Ok, awesome. I guess I'll see you all there then! :)

Hello all,

I may be a bit late joining in the discussion here, but I've just recently heard about your AGM and I'd love to come down.

1) It'd be great to meet some more pyro pros's / enthusiasts ... I spend way too long stuck inside talking to people on the phone about firing systems and never meeting them.
2) I could bring down some firing systems and consumables for you guys to have a play with.
3) I could donate something "special" to the raffle.

However it's quite a long treck from Edinburgh, can someone give me a rough idea of the numbers involved. Am I coming down to 8 or 80 people? :)

On a side note, I just got back from Das Pyro Forum in Germany. I was sorry to see I was the only UK person there. I took a few seconds out between promoting the new STEP13 Sequencer to take a few snaps ... it's like firing system porn.

In Topic: Wanted - shock tube initiator

07 March 2012 - 10:41 PM

Well, what fun stuff to play with! I was kindly sent some ShockTube and after a little experimentation, I've found a reliable "homebrew" way to electrically initiate it. Basically, you need to create an exploding bridgewire igniter (takes about 5 seconds with some tinfoil / aluminium foil) and cut a slit in the end of the shocktube. Slide the shocktube over your exploding bridgewire igniter and put a 330v pulse from a blasting machine (http://www.easypyro....lasting-machine) through it. The foil bridge literally explodes and transfers it's energy to the shocktube. <br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255); "><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255); ">The stuff really goes with a bang, but it's completely safe because the tube doesn't fracture or split. I'm going to do some experiments to see if I can get it to reliably ignite quickmatch.


Either way it's great fun.<br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255); "><br style="color: rgb(20, 20, 20); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; background-color: rgb(252, 252, 255); ">Andrew @ EasyPyrp
