These pyrotechnic devices are designed to launch a series of aerial stars or balls of colored fire into the sky from a single tube. They function by utilizing a sequence of lift charges and pyrotechnic stars packed within a cardboard or similar cylindrical casing. Upon ignition of the fuse, each charge propels the corresponding star upwards, creating a visual display of multiple bursts of light.
The appeal of these fireworks lies in their ability to produce a relatively quick succession of aerial effects, offering a dynamic and engaging spectacle. Their history can be traced back to the broader development of fireworks technology, evolving from simple gunpowder-based projectiles to more complex and visually diverse forms of entertainment. Their continued use reflects their enduring popularity in celebratory events.
