Fireworks by Grucci sets World Record for largest firework shell

Exactly. Just like everything Grucci does anymore. All hype. A Japanese 12" shell is far more impressive.

[@leonardodalongisland]

Your disrespect for (arguably) the most popular fireworks company on the plant is based upon ignorance. FBG has "craftsmanship" and experience of five generations spanning over 100 years. They are world champs and have done some of the best shows known to mankind. Judging a company on one shell is like judging Michael Jordan on one shot.

Born in Queens and raised in Suffolk Co. I miss LI Been reading about the Grucci's since I was a kid.

[@terrywilder9]

George Plimpton talked about Grucci's having a misfire of a 48" shell down in Florida. He said only after shooting it did they consult a ballistic expert. They were told by this expert that the amount of lift charge they used would be expected to lift a shell of that weight and those dimensions 17 miles into the air. What amateurs can do when somebody else is footing the bill!

[@WineScrounger]

terry wilder I’ve got his book, it’s a brilliant read.

[@dmithsmith5880]

terry wilder Lol..it's not rocket science..The lift should be 1/10 of the overall weight of the shell..how did they screw that up haha

[@goodmaro]

In the book he said they DID consult Sid Bernstein from Picatinny Arsenal in the propulsion dept. before they shot the first test shell, and he told them that for the amount of lift, if the shell were to hold together (which it wouldn't), it would go up 8 miles. And then even AFTER they used his calculations, for the shot from Titusville they still decided at the last minute to add extra lift. That might've contributed to the shell's flashing thru, although the cylindric design was probably most at fault there -- too much strain on the joint from the lift for a shell that size. A few years ago after moving here I met some people who worked at Picatinny and asked if they knew Bernstein. They were impressed that I knew such a figure, didn't realize I'd read of him in Plimpton's book. They said Bernstein had recently retired. I'd met Plimpton too at an international fireworks competition at Liberty State Park, a little over a year before he died.

[@terrywilder9]

@@goodmaro The PGI footed the bill for a 56" shell that never got built. There's some pics of a Japanese water shell that surely exceeds the mass of these shells.

[@terrywilder9]

@@dmithsmith5880 Find the Name Gerald Bull and the Pics of some of his grains of propellant. Some were much larger than your standard softball. Most of these have a decreasing nonlinear relationship with both the weight of the projectile and length of the barrel. What I found amusing was Plimpton telling how that misfire knocked out a nearby banks bullet proof glass intact.

[@Verbalmint]

Well, like they always say, it’s not the size that counts.

[@nolkeb-son2572]

I expected a lot bigger. 🎇It turned out to be twice as big as the previous record holder shell but the actual bang looked small ..

[@vuurvent]

nOLke B-son distance was very far i think

[@ragnarbenson3443]

in such a project the break of the shell is almost seen as an afterthought. The engineering challenge of successfully lifting a shell of such size and weight is tremendous. The amount of mortar clearance, the standoff from the bottom of the mortar, the amount of lift, not to mention the shell itself, the burst charge and all the variables it contains. None of this written down and testing would be very cost prohibitive, so much is done by intuition and past experience. You'll know the builder when you hear him exclaim "it's outta the gun".

[@pyroshack3261]

Ragnar Benson what challenge? Lmao! THEY didn't challenge anyone not even themselves. Engineering challenge. Don't make me laugh. If I was an investor I would be pissed. Leave the big shells to the true masters. Japan for the win. Just a giant version of a consumer 1.75 shell.

[@ragnarbenson3443]

sorry that went over your head, you're not used to facing such challenges I see, or you would recognize the efforts involved, or at least admire the sweat and hard work done in the pursuit of the art. That's a shitty attitude for an investor to have, in my opinion, but if you are looking for some form of performance guarantee then yes the Japanese have the longest track record of successful shells. Certainly no reason to sit at home and not bother trying. Because perfection wasn't achieved you shit on the whole idea then don't you?

[@pyroshack3261]

Ragnar Benson the only thing that went over my head was a record breaking waste of money. As an investor I would expect a certain standards to be met. The art involves more than just propelling a massive turd into the air. However, that's a poor attitude for an investor to have by your definition. Obviously you solely see investors as money symbols. who should have no reasonable expectations. Sounds like you have a poor attitude. I don't have an appreciation for the time invested into this project. And let's face it there was no sweat and minimal work involved. In fact, it looks like they just made money off these investors and pumped out a 60in heaping pile of turd.

[@combellack1]

That drone shot at 721 is amazing

[@yooooodennis]

Wtf, how boring was that effect? 1ton shell with one effect lol

[@edwinlee750]

The willow effect was kind of sloppy cuz the comets inside were pressed which could effect in them breaking in chunks. The Japanese probably used rolled stars which are way more long burning and neater. I don't think they used shells of shells because it would be a hassle as it would take more than a week to build.

The most beautiful firework, most definitely goes to the Japanese. This firework shell (which isn't the "largest firework") has just one colour, one explosion, ...
