DaveJr. Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Long story as short as possible, I am an Assistant Scoutmaster in a Boy Scout troop and every year we have a local camporee in the town our troop is based out of with some other units. My troop is always in charge of building the bonfire and I am put on that with my dad. The other leaders in the troop refer to me as Hephaestus ( Greek God of fire) due to my amazing fires that I build. Last year we made a "Flaming Arrow" to light the fire. A cardboard arrow that we light and sent down a wire into the fire. (Hopefully you guys understood that! ) That work perfectly. Now this year we have to top that and do something even cooler. That is what I need suggestions for. So have at it and let me hear what you think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EEtwidget Posted June 8, 2016 Report Share Posted June 8, 2016 Humm. How crazy did you want to get? A Rubens Tube is really cool. It allows you to see standing waves. Its a physic concept. Easy to make. Some PVC and fittings. You can play a song and see it 'dance' towards the bonfire. Might not be a practical way to light the bonfire but it would be an awesome effect. One of many example of 'how to build' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
