Which device described as a fountain may produce a shower of colored sparks and possibly a whistling effect or smoke and has a maximum of 75 g in a cylindrical tube?

Which device described as a fountain may produce a shower of colored sparks and possibly a whistling effect or smoke and has a maximum of 75 g in a cylindrical tube?

• A. Cone Fountain
• B. Cylindrical Fountain
• C. Illuminating Torch
• D. Aerial Salute

Answer: (B)

Fountain-type pyrotechnics are ground-based devices designed to emit a shower of sparks from a fixed position. When a device is described as a fountain and may produce colored sparks along with a whistling sound or smoke, you’re looking at a fountain effect. The clue about a maximum of 75 g in a cylindrical tube specifically identifies cylindrical fountains, since the cylindrical form is regulated to a 75-gram limit. That combination—ground-based fountain action plus a cylindrical tube with a 75 g charge—points to the cylindrical fountain. A cone fountain is also a fountain, but it’s shaped and regulated differently, not described as a cylindrical-tube device. An illuminating torch is intended for illumination and not a fountain effect. An aerial salute produces a loud report or shells in the sky, not a ground-based fountain with sparks.
