Resources and Going Further
There are nearly unlimited resources online for people looking to build fire toys. Thanks to festivals like Burning Man and events like Maker Faire, there are plenty of places people can go to show off their incendiary creations, and that means a big community has grown up around them. Here are a few places worth checking out if you're interested in building pyro effects:
- Poofer Supply - Small online shop that sells bits and bobs for fire toys. Even if you'd rather shop on Amazon, it's a good place to start and find out what's available.
- Foxfur Amused Blogpost - A nice little build that I referenced while working on my poofer.
- Burning Man Fire Effects Community - Awesome Facebook group for people who like to build fire effects.
- Engineering Roundtable - With Chris Taylor's sound responsive torch!
