fireworks If you have ever been to an aerial fireworks show at an amusement park, __ [|baseba­ll] __ game, Fourth of July celebration or on New Year's Eve, then you know that fireworks have a special and beautiful magic all their own -- a good show is absolutely amazing. Have you ever wondered how this magic works? What is launched into the sky to make these beautiful displays? In this article, you will learn all about firecrackers, sparklers and aerial fireworks.

Just about everyone in the United States has some personal experience with fireworks, either from Fourth of July or New Years Eve celebrations. For example, you have probably seen both sparklers and firecrackers. It turns out that if you understand these two **pyrotechnic devices**, then you are well on your way to understanding aerial fireworks. The sparkler demonstrates how to get bright, sparkling __ [|light] __ from a firework, and the firecracker shows how to create an explosion.

**Firecrackers** have been around for hundreds of years. They consist of either **black powder** (also known as gunpowder) or **flash powder** in a tight paper tube with a fuse to light the powder. Black powder, discussed briefly in__ [|How Rocket Engines Work] __, contains charcoal, sulfur and potassium nitrate. A composition used in a firecracker might have aluminum instead of or in addition to charcoal in order to brighten the explosion. **Sparklers** are very different from firecrackers. A sparkler burns over a long period of time (up to a minute) and produces extremely bright and showery light. Sparklers are often referred to as "snowball sparklers" because of the ball of sparks that surrounds the burning portion of the sparkler. If you look at __ [|Patent #3,862,865: Sparkler composition] __, you can see that a sparkler consists of several different compounds:
 * **A fuel**
 * **An oxidizer**
 * **Iron or steel powder**
 * **A blinder**
