Awesome fireworks, awesome effect.

Fireworks technology is advancing and these brilliant cube shells are a result of that. This is stunning, a large cubic shape in the sky that really shows off the designers talents.

Whats next for fireworks design? watch this space to find out.

The Waterloo Labs team, experimenting with fireworks to music using computer control.

Two of the coolest and most powerful forces in nature brought together to create a truly amazing thing.

The Fire Tornado!!

This is genius, funny, informative, wittily made and brief. Everything you want from a video!

top marks to the maker.

Science is a wonderful thing. Without science we would not have fireworks at all.

Science occasionaly throws something really cool at you. Here we have a video of Thermite in action.

Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of aluminium powder and a metal oxide which produces an aluminothermic reaction known as a thermite reaction. It is not explosive, but can create short bursts of extremely high temperatures focused on a very small target for a short period of time.
The aluminium reduces the oxide of another metal, most commonly iron oxide, because aluminium is highly combustible:
Fe2O3 + 2Al = 2Fe + Al2O3 + Heat

Here are some very cool pyrotechnic special effects from New Zealand team, Fireworks Professional Ltd. These guys have some real fun with fire.

Some very cool explosions and awesome effects including airplane bombers, exploding cars and even a desk with a computer getting the fireball treatment. Something everybody can relate to, we all like to see things being blown up.

Do not try any of this at home people.

Launch Kontrol has been developed to make the use of fireworks as safe as possible. The chances of injury are greatly reduced by using this system.

It allows the user to stand at a safe distance and ignite fireworks without having to use port fires or other methods requiring the user to run back and forth between ignited fireworks.

Commands are delivered using an infrared signal. There must be a line of sight between the reciever and transmitter for the system to operate. Click here to view the video of the Launch Kontrol in action.

Here it is folks. the undisputable scientifically proven evidence that you have all been waiting – at least a minute since you read the title of this post – to hear.

Take one firework rocket. Stick it in a bottle of water. Light the fuse. You are now a scientist. It really is that easy. This video shows the BBC’s “Bang goes the Theory” with one of their hip young presenters teaching a group of children how to play with fireworks scientifically. You see the ke word here is science. If you get bunch of kids to watch you light fireworks in a public park under normal conditions, it could be that you find yourself in a wee bit of bother. Get the word “science” in there however, and you quickly become a respectable scientist who is bettering mankind, by getting a bunch of kids to watch you light fireworks in a public park.

We love science here at Epic Fireworks. Without science there would be no fireworks, just people mindlessly blowing up chemicals to create colourful and noisy light shows in the sky, and that wouldn’t do at all.

Science, we salute you.

This firework video describes a little on fireworks in the Disneyland park…

When it comes to Catherine Wheels with a difference the Maltese really know what they are doing.

Known as irdieden, Malta likes to take wheels to the next level and turn the whole affair into a 3d experience. This video is a great example of the innovative and intricate design that is a regular feature in Maltese Wheels.
