I like how no-BS-straight-to-the-point this video was.
The guy explained the whole process in 5 minutes, and with some details too.
Cuddos to whoever edited this bit.
I love fireworks because it is an explosive that does not signal war, but rather the opposite.
I mean, they were first used in festivals in China, and, similarly, they're usually used in celebrations today. Feels like they're pretty divorced from anything related to war.
Thats actually a nice way of thinking about it
It does signify our winning of a war...
Indeed
It depends on the country, in most of Europe we light fireworks with newyear, depending on the country there's big shows and/or consumer fireworks. Personally I'm a fan of consumer fireworks (but always use it safely), I get the excitement and the uniqueness this man is talking about, even if I am just sitting around with a few flowerbeds and singleshots and he's programming an entire show.
I love Pyro Spectaculars and all the Souza family for guiding me to become the operator I am today. Sammy B. is my mentor. I have worked over 4000 shows thanks to them. They are the best! Great video Jim.
4000 is sounds alot, over how many years is that?
Why don't they teach us this in chemistry?
Zeus Modi your teacher probably is not passionate.
They teach it in UK, it’s required for GCSE’s. All about identifying ions, such as flame tests for metals, lithium - Crimson , Potassium - lilac, Sodium - Yellow, Carbon - Green, Calcium - Orange/Red (Brick red)
Also the metal ions by precipitation reactions, magnesium, aluminium (which redesolves with sodium hydroxide to make a clear mixture again)and calcium make white. Iron (II) is green, Iron (III) is Brown, Copper (II) is blue and Copper (III) is brown.
I guess it depends on the school and their budget. I know that my high school chem teacher did a mini version of this with different chemical solutions and a Bunsen burner.
In the usa with post 9/11 views your gonna have a funtime trying to get permission to teach how explosive chemicals react with each other in a uncontrollable way.
Then you would know that Barium and Strontium are very Toxic Metals
What a well-detailed video this is
Karl Singh I understood nothing😐
thats not Detail.. thats Basics
@@sp3z197 Karl was being sarcastic LOL
@@BriteRoy how would you know tho?
OMG he looked exactly like his father ^^
I have nothing but respect for these people. Happy 4th!
When I was little I was scared of fireworks because I thought they'ed rip a whole in the sky and cause a black hole, haha
Awwww lmao
Well, that could be possible.
I'm impressed by how stupid and yet pretty smart for a kid you are. LOL
@@Xperian13 haha.
the way i got here because of yoimiya lmao
this is actually so cool to learn!!
I have been a pyrotech for 30 plus years, worked for several large companies over those years. This is the first no bull video I have seen showing a little of what goes into making a show happen. Well done.
This is amazing, what a sweet man!! Thank you for all of the happiness you’ve given to the crowds :’)
Amazing tech behind it all. Do one on controlled demolition please!
Amazing. I've never seen anything on the workings of fireworks before. It's so intricate! Loved it
I have worked on a backyard show with just me and my brother. It took 10 hrs to prepare and cost about 5 grand, but lasted 5 min. It was so worth it.
You telling me I can throw a 3¢ fire crack and it will explode all those fireworks in there
Loved this, it was excellent. Only wish it described the various shells more.
Miss you guys and that parking lot... Thank you for all the fun. Here's to good shows and be safe!
Wow! Gotta love this mans passion.. Thanks for posting. Great video.
Everyone loves explosions with color burst and pretty designs and nothing will ever replace the boom of a firework. That’s why the 4th of July in the USA or Autumn day in China is everyone’s favorite holiday,
Man this is my dream job!
Mee to
He sounds like a articulate Jeff Goldblum
Quincy Murdoc I was thinking the exact same thing!
Wow. I agree. Electronic firing is the safest way to light fireworks. Im actually just gonna try to get better at fusing if i cant get a nice one for next year.
Happy 4th of July!
To you too, Alejandra Perez and Alyssa Rice! Thanks for watching
you too!!
America last
happy fourth !
Reminds me of a family firework show we did 20 years ago. I set up s massive display on the farm. Safety first. But my son in law stuffed the mortars into the ground, so instead of shooting up 300 feet, they burst at ground level. Thought it was going to demolish the farmhouse. Somehow we survived...
I remember seeing guys hand lighting fireworks @ my tiny WNY town carny show mid 70's. Shells seemed to back flip then thumped UP & BOOM!
I love fireworks... I used to put on a good show for my family but now I can't afford them😩
I have never looked at a firework show, but ¡I hope to look at one like that!
How are the whistles and crackles made?
Steven Scott whistles are made by pressing a tube with what's known as "whistle mix". Usually it consist of
7 parts potassium perchlorate
3 parts sodium benzoate.
2 parts iron oxide as a burn rate catalyst.
The tube usually has an inch or so of empty space before the fuel grain starts , this causes a resonance "vibrating" effect much like a whistle, due to the fuel burning so violently. This in turn causes the whistling effect.
Crackle, also known as dragon eggs are a bit harder to explain. But it usually consist of an oxidizer, nitrocellulose, powdered magnesium-aluminum alloy, and bismuth trioxide. The popping effect is caused by the rapid cooling and heating of the pyrotechnic material, the effect happens when the compound is heated so rapidly it actually makes a popping sound, Combine this with multiple other crackle "stars" which is the compressed, granulated pyrotechnic composition you get the crackling effect. Hope this explains some things for you!
I know this because I am a licensed display operator, and manufacturer of fireworks, as well as a hobbyist. I also happen to be in this video!
@@pyrotom8139 here's a less obvious much more difficult question. How come no one ever captures accurately THE SOUND of fireworks in recordings? I have only seen 1 like no kidding literally JUST ONE video on youtube that actually captured the bass and low frequency oomph produced by loud salutes in a finale. I have been searching for about a year now for a camcorder or anything really that can ACCURATELY record the audio of a fireworks show and I have failed with every attempt.
@@yamafanboy where are the microphones positioned .... Thats just a guesstimate
What is the name of the program they use to sync the music with the fireworks?
Is there an open-source program used for this purpose?
Interesting!
I love these expert videos.
Hey I've been to those fireworks nights at As games! Cool to see the behind the scenes stuff.
well my condolences to you for the outcome of the As game this evening ;p
they looking pretty good though, but no team looks as good as fireworks!!
Neil Hatrick Harris I missed the game tonight, and I'm a Giants fans anywaysy freind just gets free tickets to A's games. But then again not like the Giants are doing too much better this season.
yeah lmao but hey, getting free tickets to games, thats pretty sweet!
Neil Hatrick Harris Definitely!
They make it look simple but it isn't. Kudus to technicians & engineers. Looks awesome
Would love to meet this man.
He said it. There is nothing like a fireworks display.
Wish I could get my hands on shells that large. Per my understanding, a 6 inch shell is the largest you can buy.
Thank you for an excellent and very interesting video. Loved it. Happy 4th of July America :-)
2019 happy new year!
Good video
I didn't realize how much chemistry is involved.
Nice video, 1.4g fireworks are fun, but for me display products always impressed the most
that windows mac tho 3:44 LOL
This was my dream job as a kid
Happy (late) Canada!
Lasers and drones can't possibly compete with the sounds and smells of a fireworks show.
no wonder we all love fireworks so much.
kinda flabbergasted at the "just one 30 minute show" 30 minutes of continual fireworks is a lot! (not compared to preparation time I get it) but it's still a HUGE show, with MASSIVE fireworks.
30 mins of fireworks is pointless and boring. Even the most expensive elaborate fireworks show can be dispensed with in under 6 minutes and have maximum impact and 100% audience satisfaction. I don't know why people stretch fireworks displays out to 30 mins that's dumb.
@@yamafanboy because a 30 minute shows gonna cost around $30,000-40,000. Gotta keep the clients happy. I worked this show for the Oakland A's. Started crew shows in the Bay Area around 1996.
happy new year
Happy New Year 2019 ! :)
What an amazing video. Thanks Wired
Japan : hold my fish
I agree... Nothing beats fireworks...
Happy Diwali
3:59 mac running windows 🙄
Ever heard of Virtual Machines?
1:30 this illustration is incorrect... The black powder just explodes and launches it into the air, there isn't a flame stuck to the shell after the launch, - rather, it's coming up the tube
Wow this is so amazing
What chemical used for oxidiser?
HAPPY FOURTH EVERYONE!!!!
Bro it’s crazy to know there are people around my area in Los Angeles that have what you have out on that table I love Los Angeles
I wanna do this for a living
This is amazing 🤩
DREAM JOB!!!
He is like the Gordom Ramsey of Fireworks😄
Where do i sign up? What kinda schooling do i need?
the software cold be made a lot more intuitive by the looks of it, looks like something made in the 90's
How cool would a fireworks launching drone be?
I like the way ace pyro and zambelli do it
Great video - thanks:)
I love fireworks
Awesome
Very interesting
Is it possible to make firework without the clack and whitle? Like silent or minimal sound as possible?
Yes, there are some effects (such as horsetails or falling leaves) that make little to no sound. But many people enjoy the sound as much as the sight. Salute shells are a common firework in professional shows that create very little light or color, and are all about the bang
How does one ever get to build,load, and hand-light on shoot sites??
Take down your OL vids and I'll tell you.
0:25 . Wrestlemania?
Running Windows on a Mac. Epic.
Where is his bunker located.... For research purposes of course...
What's the name of the software?
"No Smoking"
Do you think fireworks viewed from the side look round or flat?
WONDERFUL !!!
But it's so fun running around with a propane torch and beer
Fireworks are tight
This would be my dream job. Easily.
Hi
My uncles son works in similar business, tomorrow i go there and get box full of diffrent things due New Year celebration super cheap bcz they are labeled as "broken"

Lol i know this already because I’m a pyro geek! Great vid anyways!
Only the dude did forget something,the shell has tails.
Happy birthday america
Electric firing takes the buzz out of firing shells hand lighting always for me...
Gracias muchas de yo forever preciosas
Copper is blue. But I heard a deep blue that last longer hasn't been invented yet.
I'm not subscribed to this channel... why is it in my subscriptions tab?
How much does a shel cost ?
www.fireartcorp.com/Shop/Fireworks/Shell-Ball
Just note that the shells that are made by Yung Feng are hella expensive but are the hardest hitting and nicest ones. And some are sold my the case which is why there are 3 digits for a few of them. Format is usually like for example 36/1 which means 36 shells in one case and so on.
