Hey all, my family does not like things that make loud bangs, anyone got ideas for some electronic fireworks that are not very loud but produce spectacular visual display? I'm not aware of anything, but open to any ideas.

Because I would like to make this thread more universal, if you have ideas about fireworks which make loud bangs, post them here too smile

Sparklers as breakout points?

Salt soaked paper towel applied tot he breakout point to give varying colours?

Cap discharges for wire exploding, can crushing, induction launching?

capacitor discharged through a mix of potassium ferrocyanide and potassium perchlorate O.o

Different chemicals at break out point would be nice, like strontium for red etc.. You could try a strip of magnesium as the breakout point.

Make your own new year's ball using tons of clear light bulbs and a SSTC. If you're really creative, get bulbs filled with different gasses... somehow. Perhaps you can have your whole family/group of friends help out and draw things on the bulbs with marker.

A Jacob's ladder is good for quiet and reasonably impressive. How creative can you get rigging the rails to go a long way vertically?
