Red strobe mines to silver tails to titanium bursts with silver sparks.

Our second salute cake after the "Funken-Finale 1". In order to keep the relative amount of flashpowder low enough, we had to achieve a high total powder weight, so we put a lot of powderweight for mines, tails and silver microstars - so it´s actually not a real salute cake, but more a silver sparks cakebox with loud bang.
The tails are still not perfect, as the current production technique still has to high tolerances - but we are continuously working to implement our "comet tails" for a growing part of our production.
The cake shown in the video had one innertube exploding a little lower; normally the sound level is at ca. 117dB.

Leuk dat er weer eens een cake op de markt komt met zilveren effecten.
Het wel allemaal houtskool goud wat er blinkt.

Batch 2023


Red strobe mines to silver tails to titanium bursts with silver sparks.

New Version in 1.3G. After I was able to go back to China at the end of 2022, I tried to create a production capacity for Funke cakes again, which we can hardly produce anymore since I was no longer able to go to China at the end of 2020 due to Corona and had to let the lease on our old factory expire.
I had also found a new factory and signed a contract, however the Chinese fireworks market was doing so well at the beginning of the year, which caused the price of factories to rise significantly.
The "contractor" then tried to kick me out contrary to the contract, with the help of an acquaintance of his who is the leader of one division of the Hunan Commission for Discipline Inspection, the highest anti-corruption authority in the province. Yes, big surprise, in China even the officials who are supposed to fight corruption are corrupt.
The "contractor" also repeatedly blocked the entrance to the factory, turned off the electricity, threatened my employees, stole documents, etc. without the local police taking any action.
Ultimately, I asked the German embassy for help, which then contacted the Chinese foreign affairs department, and I spent the last few months in government offices and in court instead of being able to take care of the production as originally planned.
So far the matter is still not over, but the factory is closed because of the disputes, so we can't produce anything again. And unfortunately, even with the little that we were able to do, a lot of things didn't work out as they should, as I was busy defending myself against the above-mentioned activities almost every day, and the Chinese employees (as usual) were doing their best to fuck up whatever they can.

In any case, here is the "Eisbrecher", which is loud and has quite good tails, but with an uneven distribution of stars because the stars were not mixed properly with the burstpowder; Somewhat uneven timing, as well as weak red strobe stars in the mines.
