- I feel bad about taking so long between firework uploads recently so I threw together this video. Here is a little footage of the PGI convention last year in Appleton. Some very impressive stuff.
The PGI in an international fireworks organization that holds a convention once a year. Find out more at: www.pgi.org/

@theSpaceChimp For colored dragons breath, methanol must be used rather than diesel or gasoline. A coloring salt is then dissolved into it. Lithium for red, copper for blues, boric acid for green, and several other chemicals for variations. I believe skylighter has a tutorial in the archives for colored flame pots that has a more complete list.
@Serostern Sorry for the wait, I do plan on more videos like that asap.
@llindenau Yes, a big part of the PGI is giving a place for people who build fireworks to learn and compete.
Glad to have you back NHL!

Holy crap that girandola had the most pronounced double helix I have ever seen on one, superb!
Was looking through your videos when I saw you do fireworks. Stumbled on this one and will now make it a life's mission to maybe find you at the pgi conventions.
@spenfisher2 I'm not sure, it was a competition entry from the junior pyro association. Probably several steel mortars full of gasoline with BP lift and a few flash salutes for effect.
that last shell was inSANE..... freakin wow.... it was an entire show in itself!
@cometomyfrontdoor That's called a girandola. Look up more videos of them, they are among the most spectacular of all fireworks.
@oqiwelkanld That was not a dry fuel. It was most likely diesel, or maybe just gasoline. Though I'm not sure of the particular method used here, the effect is called dragons breath.
@alarmcentra I really would like to make them more frequently. Whenever possible I will work on them again.
That last shell was amazing!:)
Oh dear god that final shell was astonishing.
@Nighthawkinlight Dude, it's ok, if you don't feel for uploading for a while go have a vacation =P
But it's nice having you back.
I wish I could go to a PGI event, or another pyrotechnics event, but they are all 100's of miles from me at the closest.
1:18
Probably one of the collest take off fireworks i have ever seen :) nice vids
@spenfisher2 Pretty close, yeah.
holy cow that blue dragons breath thing was awesomeee. great video!!!
@cOnstanTineblAckoUt That is called a girandola.
@speedomike747 16" shell
Awesome I wish I could be there =P
I want to see some more vids of you making stuff, even if it is just simple stuff
@snezzzen Well hi there snezzen, long time no see
Nighthawk we miss your firework building vids ;( can u make them again once ?
1:18
Beautiful! How big was it?
wow, i like it
Q: do you know what 1:16 type of firework is called? looks awesome :L (Yes I know they were home made)
idk how close yall are but you should try convince destin from smartereveryday to attend a pgi con one year. the whole convention would fit his style of videography. plus there's rockets.
That would be a pretty cool collaboration.
@@Nighthawkinlight Two years ago in one of my favorite videos of yours, you cut a firework in half and filmed it against glass. How fun would it be to have you and Destin build half a shell, and glue it to glass, and film it with his phantom? (also if you miss the shot it's at the pgi chemicals and supplies are right there to build another)
Also I'd love to see his reaction to meeting our president. Or Wes Smith. Or Ned Gorski. It would be a good video forsure.
I want to see some more vids of you making stuff, even if it is just simple stuff
