“By The (15,000) Rockets’ Red Glare…” The Ultimate Home Fireworks Display

In keeping with tradition and U.S. Americans’ love of stuff that goes boom, especially on Independence Day, we present the Ultimate Home Fireworks Display. (Caution: don’t actually try this at home.)

You will need “moon rockets” or bottle rockets (a case of 3,000 rockets can be gotten for around $30), sparklers, and a fairly heavy cardboard box. Use additional cardboard, cut into strips, and duct-tape them together to form compartments inside your box. Cut the top of the box off so that the top half of the rockets are exposed when standing upright inside the box.

Now that the container is ready, stack the rockets neatly and tightly into their compartments. Poke a number of sparklers into the sides of the box, making sure the “business end” is inside. These will function as your fuses.

View the video below to see “Project Vulcan” in action – and please note that the action is filmed from a respectable distance. (Note: Neither QJ.net, nor its editors nor reporters accept any liability should you decide to attempt this yourself – which you shouldn’t. Have a safe and happy Fourth!)
