That old game Simon revitalized and companioned with a large torch. Each time the player presses a button the fire from the torch changes color to match the button pressed. Much harder to memorize those patterns with a technicolor blast furnace in your face!

What a Burning Man

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

After a minute of cleaning up the playa dust from Burning Man, and playing on the river at Priceless, we are now home, semi-rested and are happy to report that the desert was good. Setup took three days in the hot sun, cold nights, and ever-present dust. Everything broke, such as manifolds, flashback arrestors, needle valves, flow meters, flame effects, bubble machines, circuit boards. But Burning Man requires improvisation and we kept our projects up and running all week.

The Hydrogen Economy rises to new heights
We took The Hydrogen Economy to new heights.


PyroCardium’s heartbeats of fire pulsed far across the playa.


People liked to explode hydrogen bubbles.



And everyone wanted to know how PyroCardium works.


Toxic Bloom, lit up with four colors of fire triggered by that old memory game “Simon”.
