   Extractions: The most enduring passion in my life has been pyrotechnics. I was into it before electronics , before photography . It's occasionally gotten me into trouble , not to mention the occasional close call , but it's enhanced my life considerably. In March 1990, I started a pyrotechnics mailing list . It proved popular enough that eventually the newsgroup rec.pyrotechnics was created, with the volume of the mailing list used as justification. In its early years (1990-1994), I archived rec.pyrotechnics. You can retrieve compressed tarfiles of the messages from those years here Skylighter, Inc.

   Extractions: The word pyrotechnics refers to the art, craft and science of fireworks. As such, it is related to a variety of arts and sciences - as an underdeveloped art, it is nevertheless comparable to many other human arts, such as music, theatre and film; as a science, it attempts to understand and quantify the chemical and physical phenomena that characterise pyrotechnic reactions. As a craft and art, pyrotechnics originated around 1st century AD in China, with the invention of black powder. As a science, however, pyrotechnics is quite young. The basic phenomena of flame and colour production are now well established, but novel effects and novel materials still continue to be discovered. Pyrotechnics has always been a part of my other hobby, chemistry. It was not the only reason I was interested in chemistry - even today, the chemistry I am now happily doing really hasn't much to do with fireworks or pyrotechnic phenomena - but it provided an exciting field where to apply my newly acquired knowledge of chemistry. For several years, my interest merely smouldered; it was not until I got my hands at real

Pyrotechnics include not only the manufacture of fireworks but items such as safety matches , oxygen candles, explosive bolts and fasteners, and components of the automotive airbag Pyrotechnic devices combine high reliability with very compact and efficient energy storage, in the form chemical energy which is converted to expanding hot gases either through deflagration or detonation . The controlled action of a pyrotechnic device (initiated by any of several means, including an electrical signal, optical signal or mechanical impetus) makes possible a wide range of automated and/or remote mechanical actions; for example, the deployment of safety equipment and services, precisely timed release sequences, etc. The majority of the technical pyrotechnic devices use

Blowing things up is not big and not clever. It is, however, great fun. dangerous , if you're not responsible enough to use them properly, then do us all a favour and don't. If you attempt to modify them, then don't come crying to me if you blow your hand off. Follow these simple rules when playing at sites: Only use pyrotechnics supplied by that site, or agreed for use with the site owners. Failure to comply with this may result in their insurance being invalidated, you being asked to leave the site or both. When you have lit a pyrotechnic, deploy it immediately. Smoke grenades (especially military smokes) get very hot and will give you serious burns if you hold onto them. Try and avoid throwing pyrotechnics directly at people. Yes, you need to lob it in their general direction, but don't throw it at their head like you're at a coconut shy. Not only is the dangerous to them, but if they're bigger than you it may also be dangerous to you... If a pyrotechnic lands next to you

    http://www.alpharubicon.com/survpage/pyrotechnicsjaden.htm
    
    Extractions: 06 August 2008 NOTE: Do not attempt to use fireworks or any other explosives unless you are properly trained. You can easily get yourself or somebody else seriously hurt or killed! Even static electricity can cause them to detonate. Here we are in Upstate South Carolina getting ready for the 4th of July. I was invited to join a pyrotechnics crew down here. Typically it’s rather hard to get on a crew and even Sierra said “You don’t get invited to join a fireworks crew”. Well, I did. ? The kicker here is this company is the one that does the 4th of July show on the Mall in Washington DC!! Yea, big time company. www.pyroshows.com If you saw the shows by the Greenville in town Airport or by the Gov’t center in Greenville, those were ours. me with a HUGE pile of rice cakes. There’s more you can’t see. Me with a special12” shell, which will fire after the finale’ This last shell isn’t Chinese it’s Spanish. Considering it’s extremely unique to the rest and it will burst in to an awesome display we called it “The Brave”. Why? How does the Star Spangled Banner end? The middle picture shows four 5” diameter mortars in the back and five 4” diameter ones in the front. Rigging the electric matches is a very dangerous part of the job. The slightest spark or screw up can ignite the fuse and launch every shell in the string before you can blink an eye. This is why we never rig matches with shells outside of a mortar. At least if something goes bad, they’ll fly and not explode on the ground.
