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. 🤙🏼

[@willcookmakeup]

It really does look so futuristic and like a the sci-fi movies we grew up with. It's like giant holograms and screens just floating. So cool

[@bricaaron3978]

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]

You're right, thanks for catching me on that - always looking to improve here so appreciate the feedback and engagement.

[@bricaaron3978]

@@engineering_evolved Thank you, lol! We pedants tend to be a rather under-appreciated lot.

[@Quest4us]

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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@engineering_evolved]

Wow that's incredible, albeit a bit scary - thanks for sharing this story! I'm certain that there are technologies that exist which far exceed anything the general public has ever experienced. Who knows what the world will look like just a few years from now.

Drones will never replace the spectacle in sight and sounds of fireworks, but they will prove essential in surveillance, warfare, aerial reconnaissance, delivery, transportation, communications, assassinations, etc. Tyrants will love them.

[@grimblecrumble97]

fireworks sucks

[@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 👍

[@denniswalston1217]

Thank you. I have yet to see a drone display in person but they look amazing on the videos and Olympics I've watched. Good luck and all the best on your ventures.

[@PunkRock03]

This past 4th we had a fountain EXPLODE! It was like a bomb went off, shook windows and burned my cousin, and hit him with debris. Also embers landed on my girls hoodie and I put it out. It was SO LOUD.

[@engineering_evolved]

Whoa that's intense! Hope the burns on your cousin weren't too bad!

[@GCJACK83]

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.

[@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

Nice! I have yet to see a drone show in real life but would love to see one in person some day. Seems like the sky is the limit with this technology, can't wait to see how this space develops in the 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!

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

[@engineering_evolved]

[@WithmeVerissimusWhostoned]

living life is a huge risk, is that not a risk anyone should take? You and your cocoon of safety,... there's nothing like fireworks, loud, unpredictable chaos that lights up the sky... all these drone shows are alright but by their orderly nature also quite unsurprising, uninspiring and after some time boring.

[@D4leBryant]

As a lightning photographer and light painter in general I am all for more things lighting up in the night sky. It's a nice break from the comedy of being both the camera and the brush at the same time.

[@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!

[@engineering_evolved]

[@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.

[@DSchae2165]

soon, drones will be like sky pixels. Each drone a speck on the sky screen. Can't wait! Edit: I wrote that before watching this. The irony, ey? Can't wait for sky TV shows.

[@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!

​@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.

This is going to make safely and cheaply clearing mine fields and trenches child’s play.

No there is not a noticeable shift in public opinion against fireworks shows cringe lord.

[@ryankramer]

Drones are nifty... and can't hold a candle to a good fireworks show. They're good for augmentation though!

[@philiptan2051]

Wow, the drone show is just incredible. The drone age has begun earnestly in China just as the fire work was invented in ancient China. Great China. 👍👍👍

The Chinese definitely seem to be putting on many incredible drone shows! Appreciate your comment.
