The PyroSphere consists of 86 solenoid flame throwers (see video below), each 1/8in valve is positioned at one of the vertexes of a 20 ft diameter 3v geodesic sphere. Each of the 86 flame throwers are individually controlled by a microcontroller programmed with a wide variety of patterns (see the video below of LED patterns for a simple sample). The sphere is elevated on five legs, between which lays The Fire Cauldron (fire bubbling up out of water).
