Perhaps you could find one of those scales that has a 'maximum deflection' needle that stays in position once the load has been relieved. It would be interesting to see how much force is exerted.

Wow, talk about adding a level of complexity! Integrated circuits and ignition systems onboard the shells. I guess why not, the tech exists, I know the military uses grenade launchers that can be...
Based on the 600' altitude, I assume you're talking about a 4" diameter display shell (1.3).
Just curious, what is driving the desire to get the shell another 400'+ of altitude?
I think what...
I wonder if there are *any* rules. I mean, if you're going to go retard... go full retard, amirite? Where's the zipper cakes and mortars? :p I also wonder... how is a victor decided? On the...
I'm surprised that doesn't have a high failure rate, given that visco is supposed to resist side ignition. I'd be worried the trunk fuse would pass by before passing fire.
It would require a reformulated lift charge. For reloading ammunition there are dozens if not hundreds of different powders that have varying burn rates and energy density. If you could get the same...
Yup... Bernzomatic TS4000 is sweet and durable... but for $1.89 a pop its hard to beat that Menard's special :D
I like their QC/Test lab. Someone get that guy a TS4000, stat.
In my own words: It's the new term for people that have nothing better to do than complain about anything and everything. Typically portrayed as a middle-aged white woman with a goofy (in my...
Funny how they use the word "angers" in the headline, but nowhere else in the article. Some folks were scared based on the civil unrest that has been seen in some parts of the country, which seems...
Per the UN recommendations, each tube would be limited to 25grams or less.

"Local Lebanese station reporting that preliminary investigation believes 2,700 tons of confiscated nitrate exploded after someone "welded a small hole to prevent theft"
Not sure that makes sense,...
This video has another very close angle showing what appears to be fireworks.

Look at this video, the title says "Looks like lots of minor crackling explosions preceding the big blast. Local media reports...
Early reports are speculating that it started with fireworks, and spread to a nitrate storage facility. So basically if there was a big enough blast from the fireworks to trigger the nitrates......
I saw an article saying that a fire in a fireworks container spread to a nitrates storage facility.
The footage is surreal. There is a very good closeup in the 6th video below.

Whaaaa? Is that to prevent things from falling out during shipping if the carton is damaged? Somehow supposed to contain a detonation?
Seems like a relatively simple supply & demand issue. Even before COVID there were issues with production in China which impacted the supply side of the equation, and again with COVID the number of...
Is it actually the igniter blowing it out of the tube, or the fuse launching out on its own power once ignited? We need some high speed macro footage.
