Just for fun

Just thought I'd share the wonder of Satan's Pants....a home-made wheel with 4x 1Kg cones that I made a few years ago.

This was the first test fire:


....enjoy:blink1:

Wow, this looks very cool!
Also the way it starts, quite smoothly. Love it.

Thanks for sharing!

Well Done. Not bad for an amateur.
How many time did it cost you to made this wheel?
Thanks for sharing
:idea:

Not quite an "amateur" 22 displays under my belt, winner of the first UKFR event (Newsbox Toy Boys), I also built all the set pecies there (St george & Dragon + Daleks & Tardis) also some FX work for TV (Ultimate Force & Casualty) :toung: :blink1:

The wheel takes about 1hr to make, and sits on a frame that's 6m high:smile:

Glad you enjoyed it....

I can't really see it well, but did I see someone running to the allready burning wheel to push it a little? Seems pretty dangerous to me.

In the end it's a very nice piece of fireworks.

It was pretty scary....

I was filming and giggling? That was a test fire I will never forget.....

God knows what your neighbours thought?

But as a wheel has been used several times and worked well....will try and dig out some footage of it being fired in competition.

;-)

 

[Vavoom]

Indeed, if it doesn't turn, it doesn't turn.
But it did and quite nicely.

 

[ambientskies]

It also sounds like a express train....OMG!

"Seems pretty dangerous to me" well yes.....ever been to Las Fallas? :laugh:

Thanks for the thanks :smile:

Meggsy, first your me....now your Chetz :laugh:

Firstly....

A mate of mine from the UKFR site has sent me quite a few DV tapes

Secondly...

I was filming with my stills cam, not the film you posted :blink1: to clarify things :smile:

Thirdly....

Here is the film of Satans Pants being fired in 2005
