[DOCU] "Passfire" van de broers Veverka
- Topic starter Mattenfreak
- Startdatum
Ze doen het goed inderdaad, nu een dikke 41k, met dat extra geld willen ze ook nog meer opnemen zoals vuurwerk op Malta, ook gaaf dus! Ze zetten daar morgen een film over op Internet als het goed is. Ze hebben nog een paar dagen dus hopelijk halen ze nog meer binnen en kan wellicht zelfs Nederland erbij!

Ook ondersteund in ruil voor een DVD 
Normaal schaf ik nooit vuurwerkdvd's aan maar dit vind ik toch een stuk interessanter dan 'n show op 'n schermpje zitten kijken. Veelbelovend project met sympathieke instelling.
Wordt wel een lange wacht, met verzending van de DVD pas in december 2014!

Ik zie het net als vroeger.
Het wachten op de 1e daad
Het duurt even voor het gebeurd,Maar als de tijd dan ook werkelijk aangebroken is ga je helemaal los

Thank you everyone for supporting Passfire! As you have heard, we reached our funding goal last weekend!!! The kickstarter campaign still has 4 days left and we are now trying to reach a "stretch goal" of $45,000 before the campaign ends on Friday... If we can reach this goal, we will be able to film more amazing pyrotechnics from around the world.
Also, Passfire is in the running for Project of the Month on IndieWire.
Please vote for Passfire so we can win:

Lijkt me tof als de dvd er inderdaad gaat komen voor de verkoop. En hopelijk dan ook met Nederlandse ondertiteling.
Ze hebben nog even flink wat op kunnen halen zeg, heel mooi!
Wijzelf hebben ook ingelegd voor een donatie namens de website en dat is met Vuurwerktraditie ook gedaan. Volgens mij is er nog best een leuk bedrag gegeven door de Nederlandse liefhebbers, top!

Hierbij de Facebook update vanaf moment dat het Kickstarter projecjt gelukt was. Men is nu in India.

From today's Passfire shoot in Sivakasi, India - This is how flash powder starts: 50 pound (23KG) aluminum ingots are fed into a 1300°F (700°C) furnace where they are melted and atomized by high pressure air. The resulting particles are brought to a atmosphere controlled ball rolling machine where the aluminum granules are broken down and flattened into fine flakes. After a curing period where they are re-exposed to normal atmospheric conditions the resulting pyro-grade aluminum powder is so fine that it will stick to skin like paint and waft through the air like smoke. When mixed properly (and carefully) with the right oxidizer, you get flash powder - the stuff dreams and the loudest firecrackers are made from. In India, 55-gallon steel drums (77 pounds, 35KG) sell for about $150 USD - now that's a lot of bang or your buck.

From today's Passfire shoot in Sivakasi, India - Rockets, rockets and more rockets! These beautiful bottle rockets drying in the 100ºF (38ºC) weather have a number of features that set them apart from others: first, they are completely made by hand (tube rolling, nozzle crimping, powder mixing, ramming, nose-cone forming, fuse making, pasting and labeling - you name it - all done by hand), secondly their sticks are made from stalks of a local grass (wrapped in paper) that is lighter and has more surface area than bamboo, making falling sticks less of a danger, third they are adorned in a traditional Indian-style metal embossed label and finally you'll only find them in India - no exports available. On a side note, contrary to a lot of popular misconceptions, we can personally attest that there is no child labor involved in making them.

From today's Passfire shoot in Sivakasi, India - cherry bomb enthusiasts rejoice, although different in formulation these Indian "jute bombs" are very similar in nature: A small cardboard box is filled with about 2 grams of flash powder and then pasted with a layer of paper to seal it. It is then expertly wrapped with two perpendicular layers of jute twine, smeared in hardening paste and dried in the sun. After curing, the parcels are covered with a silver foil, then punched with a brass pin and a fuse is inserted, as the Indian woman in the photo can be seen doing. The fuse is then wrapped and tucked around the finished cracker for shipping and storage (unwind before igniting!) and then the firework is dried one more time before packaging.
Unlike some large crackers made from thick cardboard and hard clay plugs, the pasted jute casing disintegrates when it explodes and reduces the danger of flying pieces hitting bystanders.
While cherry bombs in the USA were banned in 1966, these jute crackers are available as consumer fireworks in India.
On an interesting side note, Keith Moon, the drummer from The Who was banned for life from a number of prominent hotel chains for his habit of flushing cherry bombs down toilets over the years (a practice not endorsed by this manufacturer, Passfire or any of our sponsors.)

When used carefully, sanely and responsibly jute crackers can be a fulfilling and thrilling pyrotechnic experience.
For those we wanted a little more detail on what the finished jute crackers look like, here is an assortment of colors (contents is the same).
The shoot has been busy, but we will have more updates shortly.
