The art of making fireworks; the manufacture and use of fireworks; pyrotechny.
(Pyro) Chemical explosive or flammable firework effects with a manual detonation. Usually electrically fired with special designed fail-safe equipment. Types of pyro range from the Theatrical Flash (a flash and a cloud of smoke) to the Maroon (which produces a very loud bang). A Gerb is a version of the Roman Candle firework, throwing a shower of sparks into the air. All pyrotechnics should be used with close reference to local licensing laws, and the manufacturers instructions.
Electrical effects such as bangs and flashes
the controlled use of incendiary materials to create explosions, fires, and smoke.
A general term meaning the art of making or displaying fireworks or other pyrotechnic devices; also the fireworks or items themselves.
the craft of making fireworks
Controlled materials (used in the process of creating special effects for film) that can be ignited, burned, or exploded on cue by the members of the special effects crew. A licensed pyrotechnician must handle pyrotechnic materials. Some of these materials include propane fire rings, bullet hits, and all types of explosives.
Mixtures of finely divided fuels and oxidizer powders, which may include various organic binders and color intensifiers, used to produce sound, light, heat, smoke, delay, and gas. Once ignited, pyrotechnic mixtures rapidly evolve a considerable amount of heat and gas. Pyrotechnics may typically containing white phosphorus or pyrophoric (spontaneously flammable), or flame and incendiary materials. Examples include flame, signals, simulators, smoke, fireworks, and Napalm.
Usually abbreviated to "pyro". The use of explosions, flashes, smoke, etc. on-stage.
Used in performance to create visual and sound effects of explosions, fire, gun-shots or fireworks. Pyrotechnics can be hazardous and are controlled by licensing and safety regulations.
Ant item that burns in order to perform its function. Fireworks are classified as pyrotechnics.
Fireworks or projectiles used to frighten wildlife. Range Allotment An area, usually on public land, allocated for the use of a prescribed number of grazing animals under a management plan.
Pyrotechnics is a field of study often thought synonymous with the manufacture of fireworks, but more accurately it has a wider scope that includes items for military and industrial uses. Items such as safety matches, oxygen candles, explosive bolts and fasteners and the automobile safety airbag all fall under the purview of pyrotechnics. Without pyrotechnics, modern aviation and spaceflight would be impracticable; this is because pyrotechnic devices combine high reliabilty with very compact and efficient energy storage: essentially in the form of latent hot gases or as a shock wave as in bolt and cable cutters.
