Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air

Posted by simoniker on Monday June 28, 2004 @08:46AM from the zoom-zoom dept.

rtphokie writes "When Disney debuted its new firework show at Disneyland recently, they also debuted some new technology which uses compressed air to lift fireworks. This virtually eliminates the need for smoke-producing black powder and other materials at launch, significantly reducing ground-level smoke, and apparently: 'Disney is in the process of donating all seven patents associated with the new air launch technology to a non-profit organization so these patents can be licensed to other pyrotechnic providers'. Something to think about for those of us attending fireworks shows this weekend in the U.S."

I for one speak for all conservative flag-loving Americans when I say that I hope Disney enjoys the tax breaks granted by "Jeb" Bush (God's brother) for not letting it's (I'm conservative, so I'm supposed to use apostrophes incorrectly) subsidiary distribute that liberalistical anti-military hateumentary by that Michael Moore guy. Free Republic is teh r00l!!!
