Consumer Fireworks Vs Pro Fireworks: In A Neighborhood?!
Why the laser Mike 😅 I always wonder how these get manufactured in mass quantities Great video!
I never realized that the weakest fireworks would have the strongest "boom fuel", Kinda cool, really!
Right?! Great comment!
Hell Yeah SKILLET!!!!!!
Going with gunshots actually on this one. I'll cuddle my bedside shotgun.
I’m probably misunderstanding you… But I think I’m hearing you on the one hand say that we initiate high explosives with low explosives, but then go on later in your video to say that in order to initiate a high explosive you have to have a supersonic shockwave which you don’t get from a low explosive, right? What am I missing?
Great question. There are different types of high explosives. Primary, secondary, and tertiary. Each level comes with reduced sensitivity to initiation by anything but a high energy shockwave. Some explosives transition from deflagration to detonation making them great initiators of high explosives. So yes, a limited subset of high explosives can be initiated by burning or deflagration. Another great example that we gave in the video is nitroglycerin, which is definitely a high explosive, but is so sensitive, it doesn’t require a shock wave to initiate decomposition. Great questions!
Little question about what you were talking in 6:10, is shell of shells just normal shell but instead of stars there are shells like in firework cake but without lift charge?
Shell of shells is a larger shell with smaller shells inside of it. When the larger shell explode, it disperses the smaller shells in a fashion similar to stars, followed by the smaller shells exploding.
Great video! I love fireworks. Always have lol. Very well explained video!👍🏾
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
A lot of the times the whole dragon egg doesn't go off. If you light some off in a container you will find unexploded pieces and larger pieces where you can see that just the surface exploded causing little craters. My favorite comp to make for fourth of July as guest can make their own crackle balls and I can make a batch in about 20 minutes.
Some fireworks are louder and gunshots it depends on the calibre and the size of the bullet
Most fireworks are louder than gunshots, especially when speaking of professional fireworks.
Amazing video sir.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.
QM is just fun to play with..! Perc based vs BP based = two different pyro giggles.
This is an excellent video
Thanks!
Ha ha ha ha ha joker laugh
I'm here cuz I'm trying to figure out if somebody just set off fireworks outside my apartment, or if it was gunshots
apparently hes never seen the shell size they use in japan. 12'' shells are cute! in comparison
Hi man i think you are a great pyrotehnician and i love your videos:) But i just have a question about pro firework shells. I would like to know why are some shells heavier than other like a 12 inch shell can weight 10kg but some can also 12-14kg and are the same size (12 inch) why exactly is that? and just one more thing i live in Europe and here it is easy to get pro grade fireworks like 12 to even 16 inch because there is a lot of illegal marketplaces and sellers who sell pro fireworks. I will most likely make the license to obtain this pro fireworks legally. Thank you very much greetings from Slovenia :)
Thanks for the kind words! The difference in weight is attributable to the effects in that particular shell. Is is a shell of shells? A pattern shell? A Peony? A ring? All of these, including the type of elemental salts used in a particular composition will play a role in the shell's weight.
Great video! The science behind whistle fuel is very interesting. One of my favorite effects. Got my sub 😎
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the sub!
Fascinating!
GREAT INFORMATION, VERY GLAD TO KNOW.....SMOOTH VIDEO ALL THE WAY AROUND 🤗 👍
Thanks!
I REALLY LOVE THE SCIENCE BEHIND FIREWORKS AS MUCH AS I ENJOY WATCHING THEM IT WOULD BE A DREAM OF MINE TO BE APART OF A BEAUTIFUL PROFESSIONAL DISPLAY!
Was the shell you used in the video a real shell or a mock shell? If it was real, how did you get it apart reasonably safe?
It is inert (not real). It was just a model we put together with bright false colors to allow easy viewing of the individual components on camera. A real shell everything would be black since all the components would be covered or primed with black powder.
You’re out your mind and lying to yourself if you think the general public can’t pretty easily get their hands on 3-6” shells. It’s definitely work to get them legally but just RUclips search ___” shell and see how many you see on there that are being shot in the middle of a neighborhood.
Didn’t say it was impossible, people certainly get their hands on the professional stuff, we’ve seen the videos you’re referring to, but that is still a minuscule fraction of the illegal fireworks being shot, most of it is still consumer grade. It’s the exception, not the rule.
How cool is that!
Do you need experince? And how would I get in contact with pyrotechnics in California? I liv in cali sadly so it's harder to find pyro crews.

Make more videos
Will do!
ok yeah i totaly understand why its so heavily regulated now.
I was there ..... Not SpaceX Alpha / Firefly "Noise of Summer "
Happy July 4th! Cool video!
Thanks! Same to you!
what is the casing made out of?? Like does all that trash fall to the ground in a park etc??
Great question. As mentioned in the video, the casing is cardboard, and yes, gravity brings the pieces back down to the ground after the firework explodes. This is one reason we have a "fallout" zone where people are not allowed to be during the show, other than the well protected crew. Following all of the safety checks after the show, the pyro crew cleans up the area, and in most cases the sponsor provides additional custodial services to pick up any remaining debris. So in a nutshell, yes the shell casing pieces come back down, but they do get cleaned up.
Very helpful video for people like me that want to learn these very interesting things! One question i still have would be what the sparks are that fly away from the dragon egg? Are they small parts of the egg that haven't gone to gas yet or does the pyrotechnician mix into the mixture some salts that then burn?
This is a great question! Although we can't say definitively since there is still an active debate on the dragon's egg phenomenon, these are likely metallic bi-products produced (which bi-products depend on the formula being used) during this complex reaction, either in solid or liquid form, burning or simply incandescing as they fly away from the point of explosion.
@@PyroInnovations Thank you, that makes sense ❤👍
nice vid
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I would have to disagree with that low blow being a 3" dispaly shell out of a 4" tube. It looks more like a 5" display shell out of at least a 6" inch tube or some other generic rig setup, which is not out of the question
Looks can be deceiving, especially when it is scaled against something it’s normally not, like a neighborhood. But, having said that, it is just a hard breaking 3” peony, they can pack a punch. Spoke to one of the investigators, who is a super knowledgeable pyro, and saw pictures, so can confirm it’s just a 3”.
Los Ángeles is a whole other animal…
How make NC lekar
This might be an odd question, but how does one get a job making fireworks? There’s plenty of jobs on how to handle and transport fireworks, but not many for making them
Great question. This really depends on where you reside. If speaking about the US, there are only a handful of manufactures, I know of at least one in MO, and some on the East Coast. You won't find any in states like CA due to the regulatory environment. Most product used in 4th of July displays is ordered from overseas, same goes for all the colorfully packaged consumer fireworks you find at a local store/stand.
Was that 215.8 lbs!?
Yes it was!
Okay so this time it’s fireworks I think…
Glad we could help!
@@PyroInnovations most definitely!! 🫶
If i light a firework inside, like in the bathroom, should i take it outside or just shut the door?
Low breaks and strobe rockets going cato are two of my favorites.. 😆
I love living in a sketchy neighborhood 😍
Me too☺️
Same 😂😂at this point idk
That’s why I’m here, did I hear 3 gunshots or fireworks lol #milwaukeewisconin
Detroit is fun
@@lovexoangelliterally. i get so paranoid..
So the three stage nuclear rocket we keep seeing...it's just stages in ascending order within a sphere with a cone attached to the bottom to create lift?
It's got more to do with specific heat. CO2 is only around 1.4 kJ/(kg.K), whereas the water in your had is around 4.2, and is also much more dense. The flame will be mostly air, which is just 0.715 or so. This means when the two touch, and heat transfers, the flame cools down much more than your skin heats up. Because it takes more energy (Joules) per mass (kg) *per degree* of temperature changed, when that number is higher. This is also why you can touch hot metal trays (breifly!) (iron is just 0.4 kJ/(kg.K)). The Leidenfrost affect also comes into play for temperatures that are several hundred Celcius/Kelvin degrees or higher, and is where the water vaporising from the surface of your skin creates sufficient pressure to prevent you touching the hot thing directly, and this acts to isolate you from it, slowing the heat transfer. Temperature is a measure of how hot something is, but not everything is equal in how much heat per mass it takes to heat up. Water is oddly high. This is also why it scalds you so easily. Worse: The hotter and higher pressure water gets, the higher its specific heat capacity gets, so water under huge pressure and temperature is far more dangerous. Generally it's true of everything: the more energy you pack in, the bigger the heat capacity gets, so the heat cost to further increase temperature starts to get bigger and bigger. This is due to equipartition. But also, water is surprisingly wierd.
Correct, excellent post! Too much to put in a short video, but definitely appreciate the additional detail in the comments! Well articulated, definitely worth a read, I’ll pin to the top.
Thats not at 2000°
It took me 10 seconds to google how hot is a candle flame and confirmed that fire is indeed 2000 degrees (rounded up from 1800 degrees)
Yes it is from 600 C at the wick up to 1400 C at the tip
Different parts of the came flame reach different temperatures, some of which are certainly up to and exceeding 2,000 F.
Leidenfrost effect right?
No
hahaha no this is just basic heat transfer.
You are correct in that the Leidenfrost effect certainly plays a role under these conditions, but is not the only effect. Thanks for the contribution!
@@PyroInnovationswouldn't the leidenfreost effect not be a applicable to this discussion under the conditions described with the candel I may be wrong but my understanding of the leidenfrost effect is a liquid contacting a high heat surface and the liquid changing state violently enough to create a thermal barrier between said liquid and object? And the whole thing explained here was about heat transfer rate varying depending on the amount of heat put off through convection not just the temperature of it? Absolutely feel free to correct me as I a always happy to learn more
@@byronanderson9341 isn't there a barrier of liquid between the skin and the flame, sweat is made to keep the skin cool under the heat of the sun after all. Would it not be a stretch to say that that barrier of water on your skin could temporarily delay heat transfer? It may not be as direct as a drop of water floating on its own vapor in a pan, but it might be a smaller scale version of it. Once again though I could be totally wrong, and if a scientist wants to correct me I'd be delighted to learn
Just say the firework explodes once it looses its speed and is juuuust about to fall backdown then explodes, shit. Easy.
nonsense - how non-symmetric "stars" work then? stars are propelled by explosive charge, and momentum conserved between stars and charge - not between opposing stars
The "charge" provides the chemical reaction that causes a ton of hot gases to be generated very quickly, which causes the shell casing to fail violently in an explosion, the charge itself has a zero momentum before the explosion as well. The hot gases created during the chemical reaction, and the shell casing, as well as the other components play a role in the overall momentum of the system as they fly away from the point of the explosion. If the stars were asymmetrically placed in the shell, there would be an effect on the “pattern,” and may not turn out exactly as you would like, but it wouldn't take much offsetting or adjustment to achieve the desired effect with a well constructed shell. You have to look at the momentum of the entire system (shell casing, hot gases, etc), and will see that momentum is still conserved, as it is a physical law that can’t be circumvented.
@@PyroInnovations again - every individual star is propelled by these expanding gases - star goes one way - some gases go opposite way - momentum conserved.
Momentum must be conserved for the entire "closed" system, not just a single star vs. hot gas. You are explaining how momentum is conserved for a different "closed" system, one in which there only exists a star and the hot gas. As soon as you introduce even one more star, you must conserve momentum for that entire system. I think we agree, but conservation of momentum applies for everything within the inertial reference frame, so your argument just applies to a different system / reference frame that doesn't contain anything but a single star and some hot gas. Appreciate the passionate discussion!
@@PyroInnovations I'm explaining that 0:53 is misleading - momentum conserved not because "opposite stars", but because gases, and opposite stars has equal momentum magnitude because of symmetry of charge.
Again, we are saying the same thing, just different reference frames. Disagree that it is misleading being that we clearly mentioned that for simplicity we were ignoring other parts of the system and simplified it to a system only containing two stars. In this two star closed system, our example and math was 100% correct. We can add additional layers of complexity to include the hot gases, casing fragments, etc, but trying to keep it simple to provide a conceptual understanding of the phenomenon, not a detailed physics lecture. But again, happy to dive into detailed physics in the comments!
I had no idea it was that simple
I always wondered about that! 👍
Glad we could help!
