Do you have a technical question that doesn't really fit a specific console? Want some general info on electronics, hacking, making cookies, etc? Here's the place to ask! Go nuts.

yeah I was thinking that too...

I was also thinking that I haven't been to the forum in a month, and even though that post was marked as new, its a month old. lol.

Well I am done with this project and have been for a few weeks, but here's some pics and info

got the idea at a 4th of July party after burning my hand lighting fuses all night, finally got all the stuff to do it.
Here's my firework launcher.

To ignite the fuse I use 10ohm 1/4watt resistors held on by alligator clips connected to about 50ft of speaker wire


Now I'm trying to find a fun project that may take a little longer than 10 min of soldering after an hour of drilling holes (couldn't find correct bits)
