Firework Rockets are, in short, simple in design. A union of a typical firework aerial shell on top of a motor, that propels it into the sky.
How Firework Rockets Works
Mainly, when the fuse burns, the sparks ignite the rocket composition inside the motor casing. This makes enough trail of sparks to lift the entire firework, with the help of the stick to balance it.
When all of the motor mixture has been drained, The flame goes in the fire hole to burn the stars or components, that are set within the head.
There are plenty of firework for selection on the market right now. Varying in size, big or small. But they all work in the same way.

The head part of the rocket can come in 3 forms. On occasions, the stabilizing stick will be thicker and longer.
Furthermore, rocket motors can range in size thinner or even thicker, to produce better heights for bigger effects.
Another rocket head that can be seen on the consumer market is the ball heads. Here is an inside diagram of a typical ball head rocket.
To point out, rockets are rarely used in public professional displays. To clarify, this is mostly due to loose timing and safety worry with debris.
Rocket CE Regulation
Overall, there is no difference between the amount of powder allowed in a 1.4g and or 1.3g rocket from the old BS regulations to the new CE regulations.
The only difference is the way they are tested. Furthermore, the labels will be more different than previous information.
Pyro Mesh or Wire Mesh stays the same with rockets. By enclosing rockets in a wire mesh frame they are made safer in the event of a fire. The storage allows rockets to be classed as 1.4G fireworks rather than the more powerful 1.3G.
This allows retailers who stock and sells 1.4g fireworks to also stock 1.3g as 1.4g, with a UN Test Series 6.
