This pyrotechnic device is a type of firework that combines elements of a roman candle with additional visual and auditory effects. It typically consists of a tube containing multiple pyrotechnic stars, and in this particular variation, produces a loud report and a brilliant, rapid burst of light reminiscent of a thunderstorm. These effects are achieved through the inclusion of specialized chemical compositions designed to create both intense illumination and percussive sound.
The inclusion of a thunderous report enhances the entertainment value and dramatic impact of the display. Such fireworks are often employed in large-scale public displays, adding a layer of spectacle. Their design provides a succession of events within a single device, offering a complex and engaging viewing experience. Historically, fireworks like this represent an evolution in pyrotechnic design, driven by the desire to create increasingly complex and impressive displays. The integration of sound and light contributes to a more immersive sensory experience for the audience.
