Banger Ropes Burning too Fast

[Funny Farmer]

Any one got a easy fix for this problem? When it's windy I'm getting as little as 10min intervals instead of 30min

 

[grainboy]

Hang them in a 45 gall drum, lots more noise as well

 

[Funny Farmer]

Can you explain please , do you cut the ends off or anything?

 

[grainboy]

Stand upright, cut a small access hole, side or top, hanging point from middle top, then your away.

We cut the top off an oil drum , turned it open side down & dropped it over three fence posts with the bottom a few feet off the floor .

Take half the bangers off and make a longer rope

 

[Derrick Hughes]

But the cost of those you will soon have bought a gas gun

 

[grainboy]

Have a selection of gas guns available, if any one interested

Must admit I'm with FT on this,Ive never seen the fascination with rope bangers,and yes I have got them to all go off at once

Because it's great fun to pinch off a few bangers to scare the shite out of the student every now and again!

Used to have one, it was a temperamental thing that ended up being squashed with the forklift which didn't upset me too much - since then not had much need until now so trying the low cost option first

 

[Derrick Hughes]

Cheapest option is phone a friend with a gun

Lite and place so the winds blowing away form the lighted end

They are useful in situations where gas guns get nicked.
Surely a 25l metal drum, bottom cut out, containing a banger rope, hoisted into the branches of a sitty tree like a bell, is the answer

When I was boy back in the 1950s, I remember watching my father try out his first one. He put it on the ground and put an upturned galvanized bucket over it. We seemed to have to wait for ages until it went off and it blew the bucket about 10 feet into the air.

We used to have loads of fun with them at school. Strap a few together, put them in one end of a closed plastic drain pipe and stand back. It could easily clear the roof of the nearby house.
Not such fun was having a lighted one dropped in a plastic dustbin, then getting wedged in bottom-first by the bigger lads.
In the end, the whole school found itself in detention and the crow banger terror came to an end.

To make powerful bangers for bonfire night, I used to take them off the rope and add a fuse, which was the fuse from Jetex solid fuel rocket motors, used on model aircraft in the 1950s.

One of them went off in my hand once; it hurt like hell. I didn't do it again. I sequentially heard of people losing fingers doing that.

College days, someone put one down toilet pan, didn't go out, blew pan to bits.

On the last night of school, we hung ropes down all the drain gratings for the benefit of the boarders and the live-in staff
