First Run!
June 5, 2000

Sorry these movies are sideways. I forgot. :)

This is the first time running the Hooka pyrotubes. We got an...unexpected
effect by running it without a brass screen in each connection... Kinda
cool, actually! But a little startling, since it kinda "whomps", and since
it fires randomly, this may not be desirable as a "background" sculpture.

I'm more going for the "raindrop" effect of the second one.

Here's the first running of the Hooka pyrotubes!

SIDEWAYS!  Here's that ''whomp'' effect -- the flames go back up!

SIDEWAYS!  Here's more of what I was looking for.  Still runs up the other tubes some, though.
