Definitions

  • This invention belongs to the industrial sector of pyrotechnics.
  • This device allows the mobility of the casing tubes of pyrotechnic shuttles during the show, so that it's possible to draw figures or even whole words in space,
  • This tube has a closed base and by ignition of a quantity of powder located at the bottom and the effect of the generated gases, it pushes the casing towards the direction where it points the tube at the same time when it turns on the fuse. A few seconds later, the content will explode and will create the pyrotechnic effect.
  • the casings are filled with balls of powder and are usually made of two plastic semispheres which are connected by a snap.
  • One part has a cylinder called “fuse” that controls the time it takes to reach the inside of the casing to explode.
  • This fuse is usually loaded with pressed powder in order to slow down the ignition, so that there is enough time for the artifice to reach the desired height before exploding.
  • the mentioned tubes are usually placed at a fixed point of the controlled pyrotechnic area and in an upright position, although they may have some predetermined inclination.
  • the author of this new invention in order to develop the stagnation of the pyrotechnic industry, has developed an electromechanical shuttle to shoot three-dimensional fireworks that are both, programmable and adjustable by a guidance system that is asisted by a computer type GNC, as described below.
  • This invention consists in a launching device of fireworks or casings whose pipes are positioned by a computer-assisted guidance.
  • This system allows an accurate control of the ballistic tract of the devices that are fired by a computerized system type CNC (computer numerical controlled), to follow and ballistical trace of certain three-dimensional (3D) trajectories from the whole launch tube. So it's possible to trace letters and drawings in space. To do so, we calculate on the one hand the powder charges that allows to position each casing on its spatial coordinates (X, Y, Z), and on the other hand the delay times which are required for it's synchronized explosion.
  • the operator controls the shuttle with the screen of his monitor screen and can also set the outline of a desired figure or word to draw in space. By turning on the device shot into space it will display the same words or drawings of the monitor screen, creating a show that was never seen before in the pyrotechnic history.
  • the activity of the shots of the firework is associated to a number of inherent risks due to the handling of potencial dangerous explosives, that affects both, staff and audience or visitors. Therefor, it is very important to maintain a high level of product quality as well as a high technical precision to assure a low level of error.
