GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Just wondering if they're prepping for a future event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sounds like a quickie. Maybe they're testing a particular mortar/effect. Also sounds like we need a Fiend on the Scene™ to go check it out and report back. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Sounds like a quickie. Maybe they're testing a particular mortar/effect. Disney doesn't use mortars, IE, black powder, to fire their fireworks. Ever notice how quiet they are as they go up?Disney invented and holds the patent for firing fireworks by using a compressed gas, also known as compressed air.They also use electronic fuses that are able to detonate the explosion at exactly the right time. That's how they're able to make the Mickey head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

.....Gary 85 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I thought Dave had the patent on compressed gas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I thought Dave had the patent on compressed gas? I have been litigating this with Disney for 3 years now. I'm hoping they offer to settle. I'll give up the patent for a salted caramel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can see the fuses burning as the go up before they explode. The ones inside the park fired off the top of building and such I can belive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm going to call a 1/2 B S on this one. Recently someone, actually two people, doubted something I posted. To get a definitive answer, I contacted the person at WDW who would absolutely know the answer and asked him. His email to me, which I posted here, confirmed that what I said was correct. Will I have to do the same with you numbnuts?But before I do, you might want to do 30 seconds worth of research or go back to where they fire off the fireworks and look at the tubes. They are used night after night and that wouldn't be the possible if they were using black powder in those tubes night after night.Also to make it interesting I think a small wager is in order. I will bet you one extra large pizza, delivered.I will await your response schmuck face. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't tell all those people using those cannons for the last couple hundred years that! A wager does sound like the aproperate thing to do. The wager is they don't use compressed gas to shoot the large fireworks that are not "inside" the MK.Deal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And to up the bet, I say that the same fireworks as mentioned in the previous bet do not have electronic fuses to detonate the firework in the air.Lets say add pepperoni? Just to make things interesting. :-D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 This is an entertaining thread. And I don't even care how they shoot the real fireworks...it's the bus driver fireworks that are interesting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
