DHT-Powered Fireworks

Shown here are DHT-powered fireworks bursting from an aluminum tube, duplicating the behavior of a roman candle. These vivid pyrotechnics eliminate sulfurous fumes and minimize the use of toxic colorants.

Shown here are DHT-powered fireworks bursting from an aluminum tube, duplicating the behavior of a roman candle. These vivid pyrotechnics eliminate sulfurous fumes and minimize the use of toxic colorants.
