I like sparklers powder because is similar of magnesium and make
homemade gold fountain with this stuff.this powders works but this stuff burn very hot and make a bright flash.

here my success with the sparklers powders, when confined in 2 plastic cap.this picture is homemade gilded fountain but not made by me.

the device:



the effect:

Wow, that's pretty intersting. Given the size of the divice, it's amazing how volatile it can be. Pyrotechnic chemistry is definitely an interesting and complex field of study.

Thanks for the pics, Jerome. Perhaps you can teach me the names of the different types of fireworks.

Trav.

yes,this is the list of type of fireworks
-shell (spherical,cylindrical)
-salute
-roman candle
-fountain
-gerb
-flare
-strobe
-rocket
-single shot comet
-firecrackers
and my homemade fireworks
-gold fountain
-aerial shell with kinder surprise plastic egg
-starmine with glue cap
-ground salute with plastic cap
-cherry bomb with ping-pong ball
and much more!!!!!!

jérome

would like you to have the receipt to manufacture a gilded fountain.

Jerome,

Do you think you can show me the names of the fireworks with some photos? This way I can also enjoy the displays by identifying different fireworks when watching.

I've done extensive research on some other sites, but it's still confusing.

Trav.

you want to have the type of fireworks+picture. No problem.
-shell (spherical,cylindrical):

-salute:

-roman candle:

-fountain:

-gerb:

-mine:

-flare:

-rocket:

-single shot comet:

-firecrackers:

this is my list of type of firework trav.

Jerome,

Thank you so much. I appeciate all the help. So, that's what "mines" look like. Now I can identify those. I also know what girandolas are, which are so beautiful and dramatic during the show. I'm fairly comfortable with shells, salutes and shell of shells.

I'm not too certain what "kamuros" are, although I think Australia used them in the end, according to experts here.

Jerome, if it's not too much trouble, can you show me some pictures of kamuros, general comets, cakes, bombettes and just to be safe, some typical shells.

Thanks.

Trav.

okay,no problem

this is a kamuro:

inside kamuro shell:

I dont picture for comet but comet look like roman candle with
tail
I have picture for bombette but is the same of cake,this fireworks
also called barrage,bombette also called crosette,bombette look like a aerial shell but in small.
this is information for bombette,cake,crosette and barrage.
Each of these has a construction very similar to a shell. When the lift charge in the launching tube fires, it ignites a time fuse and (usually) a colored star composition in the bottom of the effect tube. The star composition burns brightly as the tube rises, and at the at its maximum altitude, the burst charge ignites the effects. you would know that there are dozens of possible effects: effects tubes that go up and explode, ones that whistle, ones that crackle, ones that spin around on the way up, and even ones that give off parachutes.

diagram of bombette,cake,crosette and barrage.

diagram of the shell:


and your question for the mine.
Mines are basically a ground-level aerial shell burst that is directed upwards. The bottom of the tube contains a black powder lift charge, similar to that found in a shell. When ignited, the lift charge engulfs the stars in flame, igniting them as it propels them out of the tube in a V-shaped pattern. The "spread" of the stars in the sky depends on both the length and the width of the mortar.
Consumer mines are typically one-shot-per-tube devices that are bunched together, resembling repeaters. Professional mines, however, are reloadable - the lift powder and stars are put in bags, which are lowered into the mortars and ignited.

jérome

Jerome,

Thanks a lot for your time. It makes a bit more sense now. Do you know any websites that have other photos?

Thanks again.

Trav.

yes,take this site

-http://www.pyrouniverse.com
-http://66.117.45.201/rat/
-http://www.freepgs.com/pyroteknix/

for me is the best site to make a fireworks and take a great information about the fireworks.

jérome

Thanks again, Jerome. You really helped me out this morning.

I can also see that you're a frequent poster. I like that! I hope you'll be like this all the time, or when you can! I'm always checking in everyday, so there's rarely a day when I won't be here.

Anyways, I'm more than happy that we have a member like you and I'm more than certain that the rest of the gang here will also be happy to welcome you. You also know your subject very well. That's great, I think.

Regards,

Trav.

thank you very much,you have my best friend in this forum

jérome

Don't mention it.

Regards,

Trav.

okay
jérome

Jerome,

Do you know how many types of fireworks there are? I know there are tons.

Trav.

yes,250$ of spent in fireworks of class C before I dismounted fireworks to understand are operation.

Jerome,

I think you misunderstood. I meant how many variations of fireworks exist, for example, kamuros, mines, comets, cakes, fountains, barrages, shells, girandolas, etc.

That's what I meant by the existing number of "types" of fireworks. Well, an estimation.

Trav.

the list is too large so that I can to you whrite.sorry
