8:37 *"...some critics argue that drone shows don't offer the same tangible experience that fireworks do."* That's not something that "some critics argue" --- it's an obvious fact. One can argue about which is more exciting or entertaining, but it is a fact that they are very different concepts and experiences. One is not a replacement for the other.

[@engineering_evolved]

I moved to Seattle during the beginning of the Covid pandemic and I’d never been here before, but I expected a very cool bustling city. But for 2 years, of course everything was shut down due to Covid. That included concerts and firework displays. A couple years later, everything was open and Seattle was alive and hopping. The Space Needle has always been the place to be for the fireworks on the 4th of July, and I just happen to live a couple blocks from there. I looked up if there was a fireworks display there for Independence Day, but all it said was something about a drone show. I couldn’t imagine anything more boring than watching drones flying around but I went anyway, since it was a short walk from home and a huge party. I talked to a few people and asked about this drone show thing, I didn’t see any drones here. They laughed and said, “Wait til it’s dark. It’s incredible!” There were a few small fireworks and lasers shooting out of the Space Needle but then it sounded like a huge swarm of bees in the sky above us. Then Bam! The drones all lit up and started making pictures in the sky! Hundreds of them! They even simulated fireworks going off and explosion noises came through the loud speakers, perfectly timed with what the drones were doing. Very realistic and really amazing! They did all sorts of animations and I could hardly believe what I was seeing! I realized these were all computer controlled and programmed but didn’t know that technology existed yet. But this is Seattle, home to Microsoft, so this place is super high-tech. The Seattle drone show was similar to a lot of the shows in your video here. Amazing! I’m 60 years old and I do miss a good old fashioned fireworks display, and we still do that, but man, I’m really looking forward to next year’s drone show here. The technology involved in this kind of show looks like something we shouldn’t be able to do yet. It’s wild man! Thanks for the video. Great job! Edit: Just subscribed.

[@engineering_evolved]

Hey sean, really appreciate your comment and thanks for sharing your first time experiencing this technology - I myself have yet to see a drone show in person but I do think it would be really cool to see a hybrid show combining fireworks and drones. It definitely does seem to add something new to the world of live entertainment. Also, thanks for your sub I greatly appreciate the support! All the best to you.

[@Woodstock271]

@@engineering_evolved , Man, you really have to see a drone show in person. I’m kinda glad I never even heard of a “drone show” before I saw my first one. I didn’t know what to expect? So that was the coolest part of the experience for me. Complete surprise. You know what to expect but still, there’s a hugely more intense experience going on live, than watching a video of it. So you’re in for a treat my friend! Go see your first live show. It’s wild. I agree that a hybrid show combining fireworks and drones is probably the ultimate experience. Seattle did a few fireworks at the Space Needle but it’s right at the city center and by July, lots of wildfires in the Pacific Northwest and fire-bans are instituted, so fireworks are frowned upon. So they went full-on into the drone show and honestly, I think it’s better than fireworks. It’s just so mesmerizing! And next 4th of July, I’m positive it’ll be way better! Technology advances so fast lately. Go see a drone show live, man. I’m going to every one on the calendar around here. Keep up the great videos. Peace and aloha to you and yours. 🤙🏼

Fantastic entertainment, it's exciting to fathom how this innovative art form will surely evolve with the jaw dropping technology. I'm 71, and I've been a big fan of fireworks all my life, but all the reasons you provided why traditional fireworks can be dangerous, and highly polluting are certainly valid. Hopefully the two art forms will continue to expand with concerns for safety and the environment.

[@engineering_evolved]

Well said! I think they compliment each other together nicely in hybrid shows. Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate your comment!

I'll say this. One thing a drone show doesn't do is upset the family pets. Dogs and cats are terrified of the explosion sounds that result from fireworks. The same noise can cause relapses in PTSD for veterans. There's also less waste material with drones.

[@ralphralpherson9441]

I worked for a small robotics company in 2011 that presented autonymous robots to the DOD that could literally get through a 1 foot wide by 6 inch tall hole (spec) and drive around sending a live camera feed back to the operator... those things were rugged, agile, and damn near silent and could be launched through a window using a shotgun and a proprietary hopper device (like THROUGH the glass) or introduced silently by a human operator by hand... that was in *_2011!!_* I don't even want to think about what they are developing now. The idea of a "drone insect" for spying is not science fiction, its very much a potential reality even in the current and very near future.

[@muzkat101]

Visually interesting, but drone displays will never take the place of traditional fireworks... not when it is not just the display that is visually pleasing, but the sounds fireworks make; it is this alone that makes fireworks far more enjoyable to watch and listen too -- something that can't be replicated by drones. And honestly, listening to the buzzing sound of drones is not pleasing to the ear.

[@engineering_evolved]

Agreed, fireworks are tangible in a way that drones aren't, but visually interesting for sure. There's something about the explosive energy of fireworks that can never be replaced. Thanks for watching!

Great job of explaining the ins & outs (or should I say ups & downs?) of drone light shows. I need to see one in person!!

[@engineering_evolved]

Thanks Steve, glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the comment!

[@patcoston]

I was in Singapore for New Years 2007 and saw a light show with small light weight RC planes with lights. Each RC plane was controlled by a person and there were about 30 of them. Somehow they were able to fly in formations and patterns that looked interesting. They could also change the colors on the plane from their remote controls or turn the lights off and on. I wondered how each pilot kept track of which RC plane was theirs. These RC planes were extremely light weight and slow moving so if you were struck by one, it wouldn't injure you unless the propeller hit your directly on your eye ball. Being so light weight meant that the wind currents had to be very low. You needed calm air to fly these. They had tiny batteries so the plane could only fly for about 5 minutes. They were shaped like bumblebees and everything on them was tiny including the propeller.

[@engineering_evolved]

Interesting! RC light shows certainly have come a long way since then - appreciate the comment!

[@XanBos]

I don’t think anything can take the place of fireworks, with all the random unknowns that can happen when a firework show is set off. Some may explode louder, or not at all, the colors are always unexpected to the audience, and as was stated in the video, the smells and sounds are so familiar. That being said, the drone shows are literally the next step in doing a sky show, without the smoke and noise, therefore creating a whole new experience for the audience. I’m sure the drone companies will try to stretch the boundaries of what drones can do, and the shows will be like watching tv in the sky.

[@engineering_evolved]

Ya I agree, fireworks should remain a staple and will likely continue to be entertaining for their own unique characteristics like you've described. It's natural for humans to want to continually innovate and push the boundaries of what can be achieved when you combine tech with live entertainment. Thanks for your comment I appreciate it.

[@kurtbolyard]

​@@engineering_evolvedI think that for safety reasons and the awesome show that is improving exponentially. I get that you're nostalgic, but fireworks will take a backseat, though they have been around too long to just go away instantly. Secondly and very important to most, especially those in attendance with children how many light-years ahead they are in safety. I

[@ChainsawFPV]

I know how much of a headache it can be to keep just one drone in the air, I could not imagine trying to organize that many. Lol

[@denniswalston1217]

I feel there will be a place for both for years to come. Just like drones, fireworks have advanced dramatically over the years. Many performing pyro musicals which the timing of the music and exploding displays match perfectly with the use of Cobra electronic firing systems. I myself am moving into that advanced pyro show. The response we had from this years 4th celebration was overwhelming. Makes all the time and hard work put in to a show so satisfying.

[@engineering_evolved]

Absolutely, they both compliment each other I think. Doing hybrid shows seems like a good combo! That's awesome, best of luck to you in your future pyrotechnic endeavors 👍

A drone show can not give you the same visceral effect that a traditional firework show will, it will provide a new emotional feeling. Life changes, technology changes, and as a bonus people on the West Coast could have a 4th of July light show again. Fireworks are a huge fire risk and that's not a risk that anyone should take

living life is a huge risk, is that not a risk anyone should take?

[@jandalfderweise804]

Firework and drone shows are completely different. It is the same situation if you compare are candle light with a led light. I think both a great and important but create complete different feelings. None of the will replace the other.

[@engineering_evolved]

Agreed, I think they both have there own place in live entertainment now. Hybrid shows that combine the two are also cool. I don't imagine it'll ever be one or the other, fireworks are a classic and will probably remain that way - thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@Turboy65]

It's hard to imaging what the state of the art in drone shows will be just a few years from now but I predict that high end drone shows will use smaller drones with enhanced situational awareness, allowing them to fly in tighter formations for higher pixel density, creating denser, more realistic imagery. Control systems will routinely use encryption and jam-resistance will be incorporated into the RF systems of the drones as well. They will have enhanced hack resistance and be more fault tolerant.

[@engineering_evolved]

Definitely, tighter formations + added capabilities = even more opportunities for planning out increasingly intricate designs/awe-inspiring shows. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!

[@sylviaisgod6947]

Every drone video I've seen says it's a world record breaker.

[@kaxtorplose]

You guys need to use MINI DRONES. About a million of them. 2 inch wide drones with 3 LEDs - green blue and red. With the option of lighting all three LEDs as a single color.

[@PM_Nunya_Bidness]

One big draw back I see, is that current drones are not fast enough to display large scale motion. Most videos of drones are speed up to create dramatic motion (ex. the drone dragon show). Either drones need to get faster or have more in the air spread out that come on & off to appear the display is moving. Kinda like pixels on a 3d screen. For now, I saw pair them with laser & fireworks.

[@drewjennings550]

[@jesselima_dev]

I believe the transition has already started. The technology is here. This video make it clear. However, fireworks will be around until something like "forever" until drone shows are price competitive or fireworks are forbidden.

[@engineering_evolved]

Right, I doubt the public would ever get on board with a complete ban on fireworks, having only drones as live entertainment seems a little dystopian. Either way it's cool to see the space developing in new ways! Thanks for watching and for your comment.

[@hclau218]

Finally, an apolitical tech video by an American(?).

[@TOM-C.]

At this point the cost is prohibitive for anyone, but those with deep pockets. I've been amazed at some of the shows I've seen, and they will continue to evolve until we have almost 100% photographic replicas in the sky. Now, and in the future, I like the shows that include minimal standard fireworks, but they are not essential. I love both, and whatever the shows of the future will be, I'm here for it! 👍✌🗽

[@maxwohrle1049]

In the video it was mentioned that these shows are expensive. How much does one of such drones cost? How much is an entire setup? Even it were 1000$ per drone it would be relatively cheap in comparison to normal fireworks that often cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and can not be reused

[@engineering_evolved]

Thanks for watching and for your comment! The cost will of course depend on the size of the show, so anywhere from $10000 for very small shows to $500000 for very large shows. You're right, the fact that you can reuse the drones is also a huge plus!

true fireworks wont fully be replaced by drones. most drones just dont move as fast as real fireworks nor have the "boom" of a firework.

​@OurBlindSpot agreed. It's getting more fascinating with time. Imagine in 20 years what that would look like? I think drones can definitely replace fireworks one day. Also, light is faster that any fireworks, so I believe in what u said. They don't have to move, just turn on and off, and done fast enough, can give the illusion of movement and speed. Never say never

Appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

There are dangers to everything, but we still fly, drive cars, etc. These things have become safer as technology advances. We cannot be afraid of advancing for fear of injury. We just need to learn from our mistakes and move on.

[@engineering_evolved]

Absolutely, there are positives and negatives to any technology! Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!

Fireworks and drone light shows are 2 different things.

[@ToJoseGarcia]

Maybe pay a spokesperson.

Most important detail: They can be hacked.

[@fuzzypanda1684]

Drone shows are very cool and should be something we all welcome. However, they cannot, and should not, replace traditional fireworks shows. There's room in the skies for both. As for people whining about fireworks, well, people whine about all kinds of things these days.

[@engineering_evolved]

Agreed! I don't think fireworks are going anywhere, and for good reason..fireworks are awesome! Drones add another dimension to the live entertainment space though and it'll be cool to see how they both continue to develop in the coming years. Thanks for watching!
