Dan, what the heck is that "water jumping jack" thang you posted a
picture of in the same public files area? I've seen some weird a$$
infernal pyro contraptions before, but that one is a reall winner.
Somehow, you seem to have combined Easter with some possible sex toys
and then fused it in a continuous circle. Please enlighten us.

Jeff,
Someone on Passfire is working water effects.
I got caught up in it 'cause it sounded cool.
I'ts my attempt at synchronized swimming using gerbs.
The one with the Easter egg just spins in the water, sometimes
breaching the water and slinging sparks.
The other ones are 2" plastic ball shells with added floatation 'cause
I loaded them "somewhat" with stars, coated rice hulls and flash for
break.
One did have just a little too much flash in it, and blasted the stars
right past my ears.

There was a 20' drop and a fuse came off the blue driver.
The second one, the fuse came off the red driver.

When I dropped them they went down quite a ways, and I could just see
this very faint glow, till they bobbed up.
Those were proto types.
They worked, kinda.
I'm gonna try some more with bigger floats, different fuel, less
break, and more stars.
