FIRECRACKERS
Firecrackers are undoubtedly the most prolific form of fireworks in the world. Used in ceremonies around the world to drive away evil spirits, you can hear them exploding in huge streams on the front of ocean going fishing boats in Thailand or see the streets of Amsterdam lined in blood red paper annually after the firecracker mayhem of Queens Day and New Years Eve.
From strings of a dozen tiny squibs to boxes of thousands of extremely large and very loud crackers, they are found in many different sizes and quantities. Normally packaged in cases with a code printed on the label to indicate the total number of crackers. The code - 6/80/16, for instance indicates a total of 7'680 individual crackers- six units of eighty packs of crackers, each pack containing sixteen crackers fused together.
How Fireworks Work - Firecrackers
Firecrackers are the simplest and oldest of fireworks. A single firecracker is comprised of a layered paper tube, plugged at both ends with clay. Each tube contains a small amount of flash powder which when ignited by the flame from the fuse, creates a large volume of hot gas in a short period of time. The building pressure of the gas bursts the tube causing the familiar loud "crack" and red paper litter.
