Exemplary systems and methods for modifying and enhancing pyrotechnic emissions and effects are provided including systems for irradiating pyrotechnic emissions using electromagnetic radiation sources with programmable electromagnetic radiation profiles. Exemplary systems include coupling an electromagnetic radiation source to a pyrotechnic device to irradiate pyrotechnic emissions or irradiating pyrotechnic emissions with an external electromagnetic radiation source. Exemplary methods include identifying a desired pyrotechnic emission output and designing an emission and effect output to meet the desired output.

An igniter device (10) operable to remediate a floating oil spill in a body of water is provided. The device (10) comprises a pyrotechnic device (28) that is actuated through an actuator assembly (20) comprising time delay circuitry (24). Upon actuation, the time delay circuitry (24) begins a countdown permitting the device (10) to be safely deployed from an aerial vehicle. The pyrotechnic device (28) ignites a fuel source (38), which in turn ignites the floating oil spill.

The present disclosure provides a cold firework spurting apparatus, comprising: a feeding device; a conveying device; a heating mechanism; and a spurting device configured to ignite and spurt the metal powder heated by the heating mechanism, wherein an output end of the feeding device is open to the conveying device and an output end of the conveying device is open to the spurting device. Accordingly, the metal powder inside the conveying device is continuously heated by the heating mechanism attached to the conveying device during the conveying process such that the metal powder is constantly heated during the conveying process so as to form the metal powder ignited at high temperature. The ignited metal powder at high temperature is led and spurted outwards by means of an air flow formed by the spurting device so as to form a spurting effect of cold firework.

A modular pyrotechnic launch unit includes a launch module, a first module, and a second module. The launch module includes a launch barrel. The first module is coupled in series to the launch module. The first module includes a first ignition state in which the first module ignites a pyrotechnic element that will then pass through the launch barrel. The first module also includes a first pass-through state in which the first module allows a pyrotechnic element ignited by another module to pass through the first module. The second module is coupled in series to the first module. The second module includes a second ignition state in which the second module ignites a pyrotechnic element that will then pass through the first module and through the launch barrel.

Provided are systems, apparatus, and methods for pushing out and drilling a flare grain in an aerial flare. The system includes at least three stands including a first stand holding a first electric linear actuator positioned to interface with the aerial flare and push out a flare grain of the flare. The second stand holds the aerial flare and is positioned relative to the first stand to facilitate interface of the flare with the first electric linear actuator. The third stand includes a drill and is movable relative to the second stand for drilling a hole in the flare grain. A second electric linear actuator is coupled to the third stand device moves the third stand device relative the second stand to enable the drill to engage with the flare grain. The system also includes a controller/processor automating the pushing and drilling operations by controlling the electric linear actuators.
