Cover Story
DELUXE BOTTLE ROCKETS REVISITEDBy Gene Border After a long technical writing hiatus I am back. In the July, August and September 2008 issues of AFN I wrote a three part article on making deluxe bottle rockets. The author was listed as Star Master. Now I am back with an article to tell you all about how to add several different ”headings” to these rockets. They are report, white sparking effect or report and white sparking effect. Also, I have added a beautiful tail for night time delight – a shower of bright white snow-like intense sparks following it all the way up. We will begin right where Part 3 of the article left off. Assume that you are ready to charge the rocket with fuel. Add to the fuel mix, after it's particle size has been reduced to a powder, +5% ferro titanium (fine mesh) by weight. Sieve three times and load into the casing as described in the article. Glue on the stabilizer stick and add fuse, as the article directs. There is some danger of an ignition while tamping and compacting the fuel due to the addition of the metals. However, the pressure is so light that there shouldn't be a problem. For a report, punch out a ¼” o.d. piece of stiff paper (shirt box or card stock will do). Punch a 1/32” o.d. hole through the center of this using a punch or nail. If you are using a nail make sure the hole is clean, not ragged inside. This will be the pass-through bulkhead. Install as shown in the diagram entitled 'rocket with report'. Put a small circle of white glue around the inside circumference of the disc only. Allow it to dry then fill three-quarters of the way with your favorite flash powder or you may also use 4Fg commercial black powder. Punch out a ⅜” o.d. disc using the same paper and apply white glue to the top edge of the casing; then apply the disc. Wait for it to dry, then fire. For a different kind of report or report and white spark display simply put one of your “homemade” dragon eggs ⅛” square or you may use several of the round dragon eggs from “crackling balls”. Now pour in some of the fuel mix until it is almost to the top of the casing. Do not compress this fuel. Cut a 1” square piece of plastic wrap and push the “balled-up” piece down on top of the exposed fuel. Use the sharp end of the bamboo skewer stick to do this. It will crimp itself and will be friction tight. For simply a display do the same except just add uncompressed fuel. Install as shown in the diagram entitled 'rocket with report or display and report'. I thought that all of you pyro buffs might enjoy tinkering with this simple but, noble firework. Have fun and keep yourself safe.
