How Do These Fireworks Fly?

In this video I take a fresh look at some fireworks from my teenage years that have made a reappearance in local stores. I used to buy these in gas stations on camping trips and think about how they work. Keep in mind this was before I had access to a camera to film them, let alone a slow motion camera.

After seeing this, I'm curious as to how the other firework I usually see (called flower bloom or something) spins in a different pattern while staying on the ground. Need to see if I can slomo video it.

U.S. Water Rockets

I made a comment in the video suggesting that you try this again but using a thin wire mesh or screen as the launch surface. Keeping it up off anything solid should show if there is a "ground effect" on the thrust or if it rights itself due to some other force. The video got so many comments I figured I would repost the idea here in case it got lost in the traffic in the video comments section.
