confetti cannons
Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2010 4:24 pm
my brothers children live in the midwest and there is a sport/choir thingy there called "show choir" where about 50 kids sing and do extreme dancing in the stage.
ANYWAY thats not the point, the point is that they need confetti cannons so my brother asked me if i could help out so i thought i could get some pointers from you
here is the criteria;
the stage is about 100ft long by 50ft deep so i need to cover all that w/confetti
all cannons must fire at the same time
cannons cannot be huge thus they must be relatively compact
so any help would be great. feel free to let loose any ideas and pictures or diagrams. i have plenty of time for this so im in no rush. my current idea is making the cannons coaxial and having the pilot unmodded sprinkler valves so a stage crew member could electronically fire them at the same time. i need ideas of caliber and barrel length too
P.S. i dont need massive power bc this confetti is being flung in the air. not through coke cans
