![]() ![]() When a go-getter shell bursts in the sky, the individual stars ignite as usual. We're not only going to answer that question, but also show you how to achieve the same effect in your own fireworks.Īctually, you've probably already seen go-getters in action in a fireworks display at some point, though you may not have known what to call them. Just the name "go-getters" makes you curious, doesn't it? And once you've seen these self-propelled stars in action-and I do mean "action"-a question quickly comes to mind: "How the heck did they get those stars to do that?" Go Getter Self-Propelled Stars By Ned Gorski With this go-getter project, Ned has truly made go-getters available to the rest of us, not just the experts. We are all indebted to Ned for his continued willingness and ability to push beyond the known boundaries of fireworks-making. This is important, because it has taken the rather tricky, esoteric process of making go-getters mastered by relatively few people, and transformed it into a simple, mainstream, predictably-reliable star manufacturing method that anyone can do. Now, using Ned's new method, you can use virtually ANY existing star formula, perhaps with a little tweaking, to make go-getters. Before, we had a very limited set of go-getter star formulas, some of them using either expensive or more dangerous mixes, and all of them notoriously tricky and unreliable. I won't go into the history of go-getters, but what Ned shows you here is that it's now possible to use virtually any existing star composition in a go-getter. This project by Ned Gorski is another one where Ned has pushed the envelope and come up with an entirely new, innovative, and beneficial way of making something. ![]() But you are much more likely to succeed at it if you have made black powder and other types of stars first. It's certainly possible for a raw fireworks beginner to make go-getters and go-getter fireworks. Now this is what I would classify as an intermediate level project. And that's why they fly all over the sky, and look so cool. This makes for a true crowd pleaser and certainly one of the most interesting aerial shells you can learn to make.Įach individual go-getter is essentially a little rocket, but without a guidance system. These animated stars are usually an unexpected visual delight for the audiences who have gotten accustomed to the normal patterns of shell bursts. When a go-getter shell bursts, the individual go-getters literally fly all over the sky, with intentionally erratic patterns. In a "normal" shell burst, stars are propelled out from the center of the shell burst pretty much in straight lines, until gravity takes over and they start to drop. Go-getters are actually part star and part rocket. Several more projects follow this one, which show you how to make go-getter shells and other go-getter fireworks. We'll also show you how to make a couple of quick and dirty fireworks, including a "Run & Hide Go-Getter Rocket"-which I have never seen before. ![]() This project shows you a completely new method of making make go-getters and gives you an overview of they are used in fireworks. I think "go-getters" are the most entertaining fireworks stars that you will ever see in aerial shells and other fireworks. ![]()
