Fireworks by Grucci sets World Record for largest firework shell 

Couldn't agree more.

Yup

EXACTLY. Appreciate the Teams effort to register themselves in the BOOK. But it stands nowhere near YONSHAKUDAMA! period

So true

Agresif japanese Shell better

The Yonshakudama has a way more beautifull burst.

Totally agree

Nice, but not Yonshakudama nice.

That was weak!

Straight up

i agree, that was weak.

Not only that, dude is a traitor and it seemed like the sheikh just wanted to be in the GBWR for something

Exactly. Just like everything Grucci does anymore. All hype. A Japanese 12" shell is far more impressive.

Your disrespect for (arguably) the most popular fireworks company on the plant is based upon ignorance. FBG has "craftsmanship" and experience of five generations spanning over 100 years. They are world champs and have done some of the best shows known to mankind. Judging a company on one shell is like judging Michael Jordan on one shot.

​@@leonardodalongislandBS analogy.

djteako do a little HOMEWORK! It's all about DISTANCE. 48" @ 1/2 MILE LOOKS bigger than 60" @ 11/2 MILES. IF ANY can do better, and NONE have, get your entry in! 😐

@Jorge not referring to size of break , which wasn't really that impressive either , but overall effect(s) Sorry , but the Japanese are without a doubt the MASTERS of creativity when it comes to fireworks and effects they create. Size isn't everything!!!! Can definitely tell its American !!!! LOL

@@jeffmoore4657 I would love to get my entry in , but unfortunately I am Canadian, where the manufacture of fireworks is illegal, and the largest shell diameter allowed is 12"

And yet talking shit about american shells lol at least we can build one !

Fireworks are ALL about the "impressiveness"...! So.... the distance where i'm placing my own but and cameras from the mortar himself, is just ONE of the parameters which are EXPRESSING my grade of proffessionalism !!! And they FAILED doing this considerations here MISERABLY !!! Unimpressiv = Lausy firework ! ....period !!

Thats because they are muricans, they only understand size

Same with arabs

As it states, this is the record of the largest aerial firework shell. So in this case, it's the size that counts.

@@yourfellowhumanbeing I just meant that anyway they are making a large shell then it mey be more wonderful if they made it more uneque artistic show.

@@yourfellowhumanbeing Maybe Japanese will build 100" shell that has 3 tons of kittylitter inside and few 12" shells to make it a "real shell" Because its a size competition?

Wtf lol now i readed it again and i dont see Gucci haha

LIDOR GUTA 😂😂😂

Me

Not me. The Grucci family is on Long Island where I live and are VERY well known. They have been making one of the best firework displays in the world

LIDOR GUTA 😂😂😅

Brian Huffman for what it is based on the size only? It is said a 'fireworks' for a reason! People want to see a creativity in that massive ball. But its really a lame firework.

@Jorge guess he means japan will answer... and yes they will.

u mean... Japan: Hold my noodle

ĺogne ãtļe ğéñtl

I believe its hold my sake

Adam Krajník US: Hold me Coke *drops nuke on japan*

Hardly! The Grucci shell did exactly what it was supposed to. The Japanese 48's have square breaks! All cheaper golden streamers or shell of shell! Cheap fills! Cheap thrills. Square breaks.

I wanna make a 100 inch firework.

@@jeffmoore4657 This BIGGEST firework had a fucking tigertail effects and some red ones! Cheapest of the cheap is tiger tail.. Using inserts (like all rational big shell makers do) makes the shell lighter and way better looking.. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mSVU5aAeE6E.html

The record is weight not diameter

That was corney 😒

But that one came down ;)

@@rty1955 but it went off thats all that matters.

roy Yung they still went off in the air

3 actually, but they surrendered

Dwight, this is Jim Halpert! Cut the shit okay!!!

Didn't stay up very long.

Thanks

Thanks for that!

firstfromabove Not on firework we know now

Only the dollar store ones

Good one 👍

The willow effect was kind of sloppy cuz the comets inside were pressed which could effect in them breaking in chunks. The Japanese probably used rolled stars which are way more long burning and neater. I don't think they used shells of shells because it would be a hassle as it would take more than a week to build.

😂Lol

PyroDoktorHD where's your entry?

It was made for a record not for looks

Du hast so recht mein guter!!!! XD

You mean Chinese..?

Can you guys help me to reach the 100 subs before my birthday (9 Novenber)!! If i need to sub back say it in the comments!!

thats pgii thinking.

Grucci used that new special 'silent' powder those cheap bastards.

terry wilder I’ve got his book, it’s a brilliant read.

terry wilder Lol..it's not rocket science..The lift should be 1/10 of the overall weight of the shell..how did they screw that up haha

In the book he said they DID consult Sid Bernstein from Picatinny Arsenal in the propulsion dept. before they shot the first test shell, and he told them that for the amount of lift, if the shell were to hold together (which it wouldn't), it would go up 8 miles. And then even AFTER they used his calculations, for the shot from Titusville they still decided at the last minute to add extra lift. That might've contributed to the shell's flashing thru, although the cylindric design was probably most at fault there -- too much strain on the joint from the lift for a shell that size. A few years ago after moving here I met some people who worked at Picatinny and asked if they knew Bernstein. They were impressed that I knew such a figure, didn't realize I'd read of him in Plimpton's book. They said Bernstein had recently retired. I'd met Plimpton too at an international fireworks competition at Liberty State Park, a little over a year before he died.

@@goodmaro The PGI footed the bill for a 56" shell that never got built. There's some pics of a Japanese water shell that surely exceeds the mass of these shells.

@@dmithsmith5880 Find the Name Gerald Bull and the Pics of some of his grains of propellant. Some were much larger than your standard softball. Most of these have a decreasing nonlinear relationship with both the weight of the projectile and length of the barrel. What I found amusing was Plimpton telling how that misfire knocked out a nearby banks bullet proof glass intact.

David Star yeah actually

i saw one of those back in jan '86

Now that's funny. Thank you.

nOLke B-son distance was very far i think

in such a project the break of the shell is almost seen as an afterthought. The engineering challenge of successfully lifting a shell of such size and weight is tremendous. The amount of mortar clearance, the standoff from the bottom of the mortar, the amount of lift, not to mention the shell itself, the burst charge and all the variables it contains. None of this written down and testing would be very cost prohibitive, so much is done by intuition and past experience. You'll know the builder when you hear him exclaim "it's outta the gun".

Ragnar Benson what challenge? Lmao! THEY didn't challenge anyone not even themselves. Engineering challenge. Don't make me laugh. If I was an investor I would be pissed. Leave the big shells to the true masters. Japan for the win. Just a giant version of a consumer 1.75 shell.

sorry that went over your head, you're not used to facing such challenges I see, or you would recognize the efforts involved, or at least admire the sweat and hard work done in the pursuit of the art. That's a shitty attitude for an investor to have, in my opinion, but if you are looking for some form of performance guarantee then yes the Japanese have the longest track record of successful shells. Certainly no reason to sit at home and not bother trying. Because perfection wasn't achieved you shit on the whole idea then don't you?

Ragnar Benson the only thing that went over my head was a record breaking waste of money. As an investor I would expect a certain standards to be met. The art involves more than just propelling a massive turd into the air. However, that's a poor attitude for an investor to have by your definition. Obviously you solely see investors as money symbols. who should have no reasonable expectations. Sounds like you have a poor attitude. I don't have an appreciation for the time invested into this project. And let's face it there was no sweat and minimal work involved. In fact, it looks like they just made money off these investors and pumped out a 60in heaping pile of turd.
