Pyrotechnics

New knowledge in the field of pyrotechnics is gained as part of research projects. The focus here is on the representation of colored sparks and the analysis of pyrotechnic compositions. In this context, scientifically substantiated fiber optic measurements were used to discover color-changing sparks for the first time in the world and to explain the cause of the color change.

Building on this discovery, alloys of rare earths and other metals such as iron, copper and zinc were specifically investigated , resulting in sparks with long, intensely colored phases. In addition to the color, the usually desirable and characteristic-looking "bursting" of sparks can also be controlled. As the alloys produced are also comparatively stable and non-toxic, the foundations have been laid for practical implementation.
