When John Adams wrote about American celebrating Independence day with bonfires and illuminations, he never dreamt it would be like this. CodyBPyrotechnics shows us the latest innovations in Roman candles. The ones available for consumer use are bigger than ever before. There's also a model of launcher that resemble a Gatling gun. Why would you need a rotating gun for fireworks? I guess because it just seems cool. The real innovation is that you can aim your massive fireworks somewhere other than straight up, which doesn't seem all that safe to me. He compares several of these guns in this video.
The fireworks are pretty, but watching a video is as risky as I want to get with this. Not to mention I don't want to pay for such a single-use gun- although someone in the comments mentioned you can reload them. These should not be used near people, or forests, or homes, or after holiday drinking. (via Geeks Are Sexy)
