As the title suggests, this thread is for the discussion of homemade noisemakers. Not a competition or anything, I'd just like to see what designs are out there. Try to post innovative, or at least interesting things.
To start off: This afternoon, I was doing a small scale test of one of our oddball firework designs: a 48" diameter balloon, filled with oxy/propane and detonated from inside with a remote electronic ignitor. This test was the largest yet, 16" (35L of oxy/fuel mix, give or take). Quite impressive when it went off, considering how little fuel was present, and made a decent fireball. The report didn't seem quite right, like the balloon had burst before all the fuel had burnt. We'll probably do a jet-ignition and airburst for the full scale, but those concepts will be tested on 24" balloons first.
Anyone else working on similar things for the summer? |

Yeah I'm in hurry up mode to get em done for the 4th shows. 3 advanced combustions (triplets), camlocked burst disk, semi hybrid (1-2x low level) fueling option, chainable ignition, blah blah blah....I'll showcase them here of course when I'm finished. They also double individually as high performance spud guns.
A few cool innovations incorporated...stay tuned guys...you're gonna like!!  |

On a serious note, I have a copper gun planned out, but nothing on the lines of a noise maker. |

Sounds more like a fireball than a noisemaker. I'm talking more about stuff that can rattle windows from 5km away. I've never actually got around to shooting a burning aerosol can though, should try that tomorrow. |

idk but my 3/4 burst disk cartridge is quite loud for its size. Could bring it to a resteraunt with a co2 inflator and make some noise.
Could also load a 3/4" spitball and have some fun. |
