Recommended: The physics of fireworks

With the strike of a match, I am anticipating the night sky to light up with a colorful display. Many people would doubt the size of the explosion when looking at the tiny shell. However, do not let looks deceive you, for this firework is big and powerful. When looking at the shell, it seems as if a golf ball is placed upon a soda cap.

The button on the sparker is depressed and a spark arcs across a wire lead and a ground wire. The grill sparker is installed in to the back of the firing chamber by means of threading, epoxy, and bolts. This sparker becomes a projectile if it is not well seated in the end cap of the firing chamber. It must be held firmly in place withstanding any pressure produced by the fuels being burned in the chamber. This type or igniter will work in most conditions including when it becomes wet with fuel.

There was one way that he was taught how to fix sticky situations- with fire. Captain wanted to send Montag into flames! “Nothing to rot later,” Beatty had said and this is very true. On a better note fire also signifies knowledge and discovery. “Her face, turned to him now, was fragile milk crystal with a soft and constant light in it. It was not the hysterical light of electricity but-- what? But the strangely comfortable and rare and gently flattering light of the candle” (Page 7). This statement is about Clarisse’s face.
