The Fire Choir

This page is still a work in progress, check back soon for additional details!

The Fire Choir is an innovative project that combines robotics and pyrotechnics to create a captivating visual and auditory experience. This project features an array of fire-breathing pumpkins that are synchronized to perform in harmony, producing a "choir" of flames that dance to music. The system is controlled by a custom-built robotic platform that manages the timing and intensity of each flame, ensuring a safe and spectacular performance. The Fire Choir showcases creativity, engineering skills, and a passion for pushing the boundaries of traditional robotics applications.

The original Fire Choir with only one jack-o-lantern

This was the iteration of the Fire Choir from 2024, it featured a single jack-o-lantern that breathed fire, the fire was controlled by a solenoid valve connected to a fuel source, and the timing was managed by the Micro850 PLC. There was no music synchronization in this version, it would simply breathe fire when a button was pressed.
