I called Atlas Fireworks yesterday and tried to speak with Steve Pelkey, a fellow I've met a few times and the owner as well as a world famous pyrotechnician. If you saw the PBS firworks special, you saw Steve and his crew. He uses music a lot.

Anyway, he was unavailable so I asked this guy how fast a charge might be moving as it comes out of this box called the Firefly. He wasn't sure but thought 80-95 mph was a reasonable guess. My left leg agrees.

Remember kids, do not try this blah, blah, blah. A scary moment but, as the ice man said, 3 good things came from it. 1. Nobody was hurt (yeah, right) 2. No major forest fires were started that were not extinguished quickly. 3. (Until now) Nobody knew it was me setting those things off.
