| How To Make A Fountain | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To make a fountain you will need the following: A thick tube Some Black Powder with aluminium powder in it (for white sparks) A wooden dowler A hammer Powdered chalk/cat litter (same for the rocket)/tissue paper and glue mixed together(see pics) Drill and drill bit Low melt glue gun End cap Toilet paper Start by filling the thick tube with the powdered cat litter half way, then use your dowler and hammer to compress the cat litter into a solid end block. Now take your drill and drill bit and drill a hole in the cat litter end block, make sure the hole is big enough so the black powder doesn't explode. Now put a wad of toilet paper in the hole to stop any Black Powder from falling out. Now pour your Black Powder/Aluminium powder in the tube and use your dowler(not hammer aswel) to compress the composition. Keep pouring more composition in the tube and keep compressing what you pour in, until you get to 1 cm from the top. Put the endcap in the 1 cm gap until it touches the composition, carry on by filling the gap with low melt glue. Now take the fountain (when the glue is dry, obviously) and take the toilet paper from the hole and use the drill bit ONLY to maualy make a hole in the compressed composition inside ( by putting the drill bit through the hole and turning it with your fingers). Now place a fuse in the hole and push it into the composition, if necasary put small wads of toilet paper around the fuse tightly to stop it falling out. Now simply stick it in the ground, fuse end up, and light fuse, the fountain should through a huge shower of orange and white sparks out (if using aluminium aswel, if not it will only through orange sparks out). To make a open ended fountain pour cat litter into the tube and compress it as above but don't drill a hole in it. Now fill it up with the composition as above and stick a fuse in the open end, light and watch the show. WARNING IF YOU USE OTHER COMPOSITION OTHER THAN BLACK POWDER/BLACK POWDER WITH ALUMINIUM IT MAY BLOW UP, FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU USE SUPER BLACK POWDER(FLASH POWDER) IT WILL EXPLODE. |

| This is my rocket spindle, but it can be used to make a fountian. | This is cat litter which would be rammed in the tube using the rocket spindle on the left to form a solid clay plug. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
