Bomb, Bomb, Bomb

Our new firework of choice is a sparkler bomb. What is a sparkler bomb you ask? Here is what you do....Take a bunch of the small size sparklers (we use 2-3 boxes but I have seen some people use hundreds) and hold them all together in a bunch, pull a middle one up and inch or two above the rest of them, then duct tape all around them to hold them together (you need at least a couple layers of duct tape), break off the sticks and seal the bottom with tape and seal the top of the bunch of sparklers except the one that is sticking up higher, so you should see all duct tape and no sparklers except the one that is sticking up a couple inches. Next set it a safe distance from everything and light the one that is sticking out of the tape, and run. The one that you light goes down and lights all the others and the pressure of the sparklers builds up in the tape and it explodes. Just doing like a bunch of 8-10 sparklers makes a good explosion and is louder than a shotgun going off. So, back to the point of this post, my friend Adam and I have been making some of these out of the sparklers I bought this year. Today we made sparkler bombs with 24 sparklers. We set it on a big chunk of wood and lit it and put a plastic bucket over it to see what it would do. It was awesome so we shot a video of it on our digital camera, the only bad thing is we shot the video sideways and there is no way to turn it so you will just have to turn your head or your computer screen to watch it. Here it is.
