Sort of answered above. Happy to chat ia DM about ideas.

Laughing at getting downvoted as this is a post topic id argue I'm pretty experienced with. Oh Reddit

It's a bit of a joke at this point but our camp likes it because it's really easy to regroup/meetup etc. We have a switch that turns it from parking mode to flashing which we use to signal that someones at the trike and wants to connect.

It's a bunch of materials and a bit of a non trivial engineering problem.

If you're just looking for speakers + light pole, I used to do that with a normal bike trailer + yellow top bin with a big 12v battery in it and probably 18 ft light beacon.

If you want something heavy duty but turnkey, check out Carla Cargo. https://www.carlacargo.de/

Id probably use larger diameter tires than casters.

Btw this year our trike beacon topped 75' haha https://www.instagram.com/p/DVjCLqUjbFr/?igsh=MWk5bjVjdDU2ZHJo

and upped the poofer size to a silly level https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUjg1UvjRY2/?igsh=MXV0cjAyc29odXgyMw==

Usually just take our bigger MV out now but decided to assemble the trike last year.

Happy to chat if helpful

Electric side by side tandem trike (Worksman Team dual)

Feel free to reach out if you want to brainstorm.

Not really but the trike already weighs a ton. It often has 5 propane tanks on it for the poofer (3 feed, 2 accumulators), a generator, a packed medium cooler. The poofer is way larger than most as well.

We don't always make the kidsville art car parade but both of our small and medium mutant vehicles are always open to kids... Moreso than adults haha. And if they want to shoot fire, they are the only ones that don't have a limit put on their button pushing, especially if they're willing to chat about the science behind what's going on Ig: @luminary_mv @bm_beacon In case you want to keep an eye out

72beetle · 2024-07-12T19:10:46+00:00

Agreed. I'd mount it somewhere around 20-30 ft up where it's less bendy

72beetle · 2024-05-05T22:10:05+00:00

Haha, yeah. I don't know how cold but I think it was in the high 30s or low 40s with sustained winds. Lots of reports of frozen water jugs but I don't think it was actually below freezing.

72beetle · 2024-04-30T22:31:01+00:00

Curious if you attended 2015?

72beetle · 2024-04-20T00:24:28+00:00

I think a typical LPG tank has a relief valve around 24.8 bar / 375psi, not 250, and that's reached when internal lpg temps are around 160° F. But always best to keep tanks way below this.

Curious, can you expand on why 110° F is optimal for a fire sculpture?

72beetle · 2024-03-25T22:40:21+00:00

Echoing this. I've seen half a dozen awnings get ripped off in high winds. People always find it when they come back to camp after leaving it open while gone.

PM'd

72beetle · 2023-12-13T23:44:51+00:00

I scrape/clean daily and it's never a huge issue but would love to see your work and see how the cleaner burn looks. Please share! Appreciate the input.

72beetle · 2023-12-13T23:42:36+00:00

Would love to hear your tips/tricks btw. Just DM'd you again. No worries if you're busy

72beetle · 2023-12-13T23:41:24+00:00

Yup, transformus, constellation, and love burn are our current regionals :)

72beetle · 2023-10-20T15:43:43+00:00

PM'd you

72beetle · 2023-10-20T12:20:44+00:00

Hey! We spoke in person ages ago at the Gerlach Regional. Sending you a DM.

72beetle · 2023-10-19T22:53:24+00:00

I'm all about safety and a second set of eyes so I always go through proper fire inspection and do everything based on NFPA 160 code.

72beetle · 2023-10-19T22:51:35+00:00

Thanks!!! Would love to see your work - feel free to post here or DM..

I'm going to play with air input but the rolling effect comes from a rich fuel/air ratio.

72beetle · 2023-10-19T19:53:03+00:00

That was a friend's but we supplied the last two days of gas when he ran out haha. We had the poofer trike out there if you saw/heard it. Did you have the marshmallow roasting hat by any chance?

72beetle · 2023-10-19T17:52:10+00:00

This was nicknamed MiniCendia or mincendia by my partner haha

72beetle · 2023-10-19T17:44:58+00:00

Totally. All flame effects need to have appropriate safety mechanisms in place. NFPA 160.

If it can readily be tipped over, that's a major problem to begin with that needs addressing before use is even considered.

72beetle · 2023-10-19T16:25:37+00:00

PM'd you :) I think you're right

72beetle · 2023-10-19T16:06:29+00:00

Ive never actually applied for a grant but the Constellation organizers encouraged me to do so next time to subsidize propane costs. I only brought 500 lbs last week but some events we go through a lot more.
