Why You Never See Brilliant Blue Fireworks

[@Unpopularopinionbutitsok]

Wait , I feel like I’ve seen blue fireworks before.🧐

I can’t believe real life is so unrealistic. In Minecraft you can easily create blue fireworks by simply using blue dye and gunpowder to create a blue firework star.

they shouldnt say you never see blue fireworks. thats just untrue. you just see them rarely because theyre harder to produce.

The usual blue firework is dark blue close to purple-ish. It's the commonly known one but still not the real kind of blue we want. Brilliant blue or sky blue fireworks haven't exist.

[@soccerprogirl7194]

I’ve seen blue fireworks at the Navel Academy in the US, and it was a BRIGHT blue

That's probably light blue which is not the same as bright blue is much more darker in color.

They should make this a competition to see who can come up with a safe substance or formula to create brilliant blue fireworks

[@jaywts8424]

Before clicking this video, everyone thought they used to see bright blue fireworks😂

[@Musicradio77Network]

I saw it in Woodstock, NY earlier tonight, and I spotted blue fireworks there. Fireworks always have blue along with red, green, orange, pink, purple, and white.

[@goodmaro]

The admittedly crude solution is just to make the blue stars (or lances, etc.) bigger than the other colors, so they throw out more light. The problem then comes in aerial fireworks where they're mixed with other colors. To match the other colors' brightness, the blue stars have to be so much bigger that they burn much longer than the others. That problem too can be surmounted by making cored stars -- tube-shaped so they burn from the inside as well as the outside -- but that's lot of trouble just for a visual effect. The description of fireworks generally in this video is pretty bad, identifying the base composition as "fuel" (rather than fuel + oxidant), and then saying it's usually black powder (which is hardly ever true for color compositions).

[@rl164]

If we understand the workings of blue stars maybe we can figure out how to make fireworks so hot that they appear blue without the dye? Just a thought 🧐

[@hestineadison737]

Well, one question Is there a black firework?

[@natalieg2976]

Synasim GT I don’t think you’d see anything 😂

[@rozyan3118]

That’s not how fireworks work. The fuse gets lit, and once burned to the cardboard shell, the bottom propels it into the sky. Then, the fuse still goes into the shell and it’s timed so once it’s in the sky, the fuse gets to the gunpowder inside, and lights the color beads and propels them outward

[@Dropleto]

Just use blue dye to change your fireworks color. Looks very cool with the elytra!

[@poopoink3963]
