Fiery compositions

David Jones

Nature, 1999, vol. 400, issue 6742, 320-320

Abstract: This week DREADCO's chemists are working on a firework with alternating layers of fast- and slow-burning composition. Why? The idea is that, as the combustion zone moves down through the layers, the gas-pressure generated by burning will be modulated, and the firework will howl out a predictable tone. This technology could be used to create a 'sound stick', ideal for public musical performances.
