Fireworks - Behind the Scenes

at 5:50 am. Filed under Complex Hacks, Crazy Hacks



 

Most people love watching a good fireworks display but have no idea what is needed to pull off a good show. Here is some behind the scenes action that is sure to please.

“Aerial Fireworks
An aerial firework is normally formed as a shell that consists of four parts:
* Container - Usually pasted paper and string formed into a cylinder
* Stars - Spheres, cubes or cylinders of a sparkler-like composition
* Bursting charge - Firecracker-like charge at the center of the shell
* Fuse - Provides a time delay so the shell explodes at the right altitude ”
