Types Of Fireworks;
ROCKETS (Missiles)
Very familiar to most people who've bought and used consumer class fireworks, rockets or smaller bottle rockets shoot into the sky leaving a fiery trail before exploding and ejecting an effect. Rockets are available in many sizes and with all types of effects including stars, crackles, strobes, parachutes, and quite frequently a whistling sound.
How Fireworks Work - Rockets
Rockets are one of the oldest and most recognizable of fireworks, the long protruding stick which characterises them is used as a stabilization device to keep the rocket going in the right direction. Missiles operate in the same manner except that they use fins instead of a stick for stabilization.
When the lit fuse enters the bottom of the rocket, a cone-shaped chamber of fuel immediately ignites. The cone shape allows a large area for burning of the fuel which then creates a large volume of gas to be forced out of the back creating thrust and propelling the rocket at high speed into the air. The rapid burn rate exhausts the fuel in a matter of seconds, but not before it ignites the internal time fuse which transmits fire to the burst charge, exploding the rocket casing and igniting the stars, reports or shells.
