Overview:
Tiz the season for burning projects. With this in mind I wanted to build my personal variant of the popular propane based fire popper. The problem with propane is it always burns with a very bright orange fireball. I love pyro chemistry, and specifically coloring agents. So the natural progression would be to make giant brilliantly colored fireballs. To accomplish this I designed an air cannon that is alcohol based so that you have a neutral base that can be augmented in very much the same way a poi spinner can color there poi. The end result is giant fireballs of red, blue, green and purple!
