Halloween
Kids have it too easy in my neighborhood. The "spooky" houses are nothing but decorations and electronic noises. Most houses don't put up any fight at all happily handing out buckets of "fun size" chocolates and treats. I admit, we have been one of those houses. Nothing but flaming pumpkins and treats.
This year will be a bit...different.

Re: Halloween
Yep making these for the Scout's halloween party. A number of these will be lawn ornaments in my yard that launch at opportune moments.

Re: Halloween
Will you run air supplies to each one and pressurize them when you are about to use them, or do you plan to fill them before the night and they will hold pressure until launched?bugwubber wrote:Yep making these for the Scout's halloween party.

Re: Halloween
No, can't have a bunch of charged rockets because some kids wander through the yards. Hope the caution tape will keep em on the path this year. Anyway I'll have the derby launcher set up to release rockets one at a time. That will require me to just turn valves to prime for the next launch. The rockets not on the launcher will just be acting as pathway lights although noone will know that those won't move.U.S. Water Rockets1 wrote:Will you run air supplies to each one and pressurize them when you are about to use them, or do you plan to fill them before the night and they will hold pressure until launched?bugwubber wrote:Yep making these for the Scout's halloween party.

An instructional for the kids to make these.

The lights are little paper lantern led lights that twist on and off. Bonus- they are waterproof.Bugwubber

Re: Halloween
The highway in the background is largely blocked by trees so combined with speed, doubt they would have seen much. The side road to the left, yeah they might have seen something. :-)nunopt wrote:I wonder what the guys at the cars passing thought if they saw that lights going up .. scary .. :]

Re: Halloween
Well, turns out my plans were changed for me. A 50mile trip to the office and getting voted to walk with our kids pretty much killed off the Scare. But still got in a couple launches.
