This Egg will explain how to create your own satellite missile battery. These things are not easy to make, and they do take a little bit of time and patence. However, I enjoy making them, and the final payoff will be worth it once you watch it in action.
Materials
--Medium sized bottle rockets. I suggest using lots of screamers.
--A cardboard box, or a bucket
--Construction paper (the picture shows it After I cut it into strips)
--Masking tape, the easy to tear paper kind
--scizzors and a knife
--Cannon fuse. Be sure to buy the right kind. Do NOT buy "safety fuse", it will not burn hot enough to burn through the tape. Real cannon fuse can be found at some retail firework outlets (Phantom fireworkks does NOT carry it).
Prepare your box
Cut the paper so that you can make a bunch of little tubes out of them. make sure that they are tall enough to hold your rockets upright. Hold them together with the tape.
Keep making tubes untill you can fit them snug into your box
You may need to place some sand or dirt in the bottom to add weight and stability to your rockets.
Setting up the line
It is best to use a few smaller peices of fuse and then connect them together later on.
Start off by connecting just a few rockets to your peice of fuse. They will hold your fuse in the right place above the box while you attach more individually later on.
After you get your first few rockets holding your peice of fuse steadly in the box; Start attaching more rockets to every part of the fuse that you can fit them. Don’t worry about the tape getting in the way, because the cannon fuse will burn clear through it and light every fuse that is close by.
keep adding more and more fuse peices and rockets untill you fill the box pretty good.
The picture above is about 85 rockets. I ended adding about 50 more after i took that picture. The whole thing took a couple of hours working by myself. It is pretty fun to do once you get started.
If you end up trying this yourself, then take a picture of it and post it here in this egg. |

Nice egg 5*. But too bad I won’t be able to get that many fireworks. |
 | Jun 28, 2006 12:30 am -
I wish I could get fireworks like that where I live. |
 | Jun 28, 2006 12:33 am -
I just drove to the next state over and bought a shit load. I didn’t use all of those bottle rockets on this one battery, I only used about a 5th of them probably. I plan to make 2 or 3 more actually, all different types. |
 | Jun 28, 2006 12:36 am -
5* for the sweet pics and nearly making me cry...coz im in aus and live too far away from any place to get that many... |

oh here in kentuck we can have lots of fireworks, thars a big firework superstore up the road from here thay have like 3 floors of nothing but fireworks u can buy in bulk and wholesal |
| Jun 28, 2006 9:26 am -
^^^they only sell shitty fireworks in kentucky. You can’t get rockets and stuff. Unless the place you know of is selling it illegally.
btw dizzle
This took me a little less than 2 hours to make. But like I said, it is kinda fun to do. It makes it really easy if you just stick a bunch of tiny strips of tape to something next to you, and the sit on a pillow on your floor or something. And you can watch tv while you do it.
There is one section where I bunched up like 24 parachute rockets all together, I can’t wait to see those go off. |
| Jun 28, 2006 9:37 am -
Oh my God!
I’ve never seen that many rockets in my life at one time like that. It sucks here in PA, people from other states can come here and buy rockets and good stuff but we can’t even go in the stores! we can only get 1.4G fireworks sparklers and shit. |
 | Jun 28, 2006 9:58 am -

I’ve been trying to do something like this for a while, but coudln’t think of a good way.
Oh, and for the record, you can get good fireworks anywhere, so long as you know the right people. |

Good Job 5* |
| Jun 28, 2006 10:16 pm -
WARNING UPDATE:
Be aware that your box WILL catch on fire. And some of the rockets will fly diagonally. Be sure to run very far away when setting this thing off, and be ready to take cover at any time.
You can heavily strenghten your box by wrapping some duct tape around the tops of your paper tubes. |
 | Jun 28, 2006 11:39 pm -
^^^lol is that from expirience |
 | Jun 29, 2006 7:06 am -
God I am so thankfull that I can buy these are completely legal in Pennsylvania (where I live)...I bought $250 worth without any problem, (I’m 14), and grabbed a lighter/torch at the hardware store nearby for $5
man was that fun...
ps. I think its legal...if it isnt...then yeah I am really really lucky |
| Jun 29, 2006 3:53 pm -
yes that is from experiance.
btw
I added a shit load more rockets to that box. I put the flaps up on it and taped them together. the whole thing is completely filled. I estimate it being about 150 rockets total. |
