By far the best video showing slow motion fireworks in action that we have ever seen. The boys from Weco Fireworks doing what they do best.

This video features intense close ups of what happens in the milliseconds after you light a rocket. You can see every little reaction taking place and the raw energy that makes fireworks so incredible.

The shells are detonated at ground level giving a uniqe opportunity to see what happens to the stars of the shell as the burn and spread out.

First class job and a first class video.

Amazed? Dont be, its simple science.

The smoke from the candle consists of mostly carbon dioxide, but not entirely. The candle’s wick and the candle itself are coated in paraffin. When the candle is lit, the paraffin is released, and is in the smoke when you blow out the candle. The carbon dioxide in the smoke may not be flammable, but the paraffin is. When you lights the smoke, the paraffin burns, causing the flame to go down to the wick, and thus relighting it. cool huh?!

OK, firstly the answer is no no no. It is never a good idea to microwave fireworks of any size. We strongly dissaprove of microwaving explosives and this should not be attempted by anyone. The men in this video are trained experienced professionals…microwavers.

The large firework the guys decided to microwave was of course the Fiery Eye Catherine Wheel which is a beautiful display wheel that spins majestically sending lovely sparks and colours all around. When you put it in a microwave the results are shown above.

It does bear mentioning here that although the title of this video refers to “large” fireworks, this firework is anything but large. For a proper choice of large fireworks check the Epic Fireworks website, large fireworks is what we do.

Once again Epic Fireworks does not suggest anyone tries this themselves, leave it to the crazy Americans on the video. Thank you.
