Abstract: It is well known that fireworks are a fundamental theatrical experience for many people. However, there are individuals and certain settings that cannot experience traditional fireworks—concerns with flammability from pyrotechnic materials often leads to a ban on fireworks in areas prone to drought, for example. For areas that cannot make use of traditional fireworks, there is a need for a suitable replacement. Discussed herein are multiple approaches to emulating a traditional fireworks show, and in a manner that does not pose a burning hazard, can be used in residential areas (as well as more traditional areas), and can emulate the look and feel of traditional fireworks. Also discussed are additional features which may not be common to some fireworks shows, but enhance a theatrical experience nonetheless at a lower operating cost.
