pyrotechnic

Give me proper streets, not pyrotechnic strapped to my neck.

You can also go the slow pyrotechnic route with making smoke bombs. It's not as simple as it may appear, but from a hazard point of view nothing is going to explode.

Is a non-pyrotechnic stink bomb a "bomb" on par legally with a hand grenade? Is making the hallway stink bad now a felony?

With the amount of smoke, my first thought might be a pyrotechnic or even malfunctioning AV equipment.

Outside of that I have a car from 1978 with Mechanical Fuel Injection, and some pre-1900's pyrotechnic machines.

Wasn't designed to hold airbags or points able to support attachments for pyrotechnic seat belts. They would never work correctly with that structure.

"The most pyrotechnic test of all requires that dynamite charges be strapped to the compressor blades and detonated while the engine is going full blast."

Some images like the beer can mortar, the man running with a wobbly resonating plank, and a pyrotechnic pellet firing gun are indelible on the mind of my cohort. At least the easily excitable boys.

A small correction most airbags use pyrotechnic inflators, not compressed air. Sidenote about airbags: they have to be folded to fit inside their module, so as it inflates it's also unfolding.

Yes. The parachute has a pyrotechnic deployment mechanism that is consumed; I never saw a BRS sold in separate components, so you need to replace the entire package. The 10 year shelf life is coming from the pyrotechnic charge and the parachute material, they both age.

It is also impressive in its technical scope employing physicists, pyrotechnic folks, and a bunch of roboticists who work on the audio-animatronic robots. 3.

The landing sequence alone requires six vehicle configurations, 76 pyrotechnic devices, the largest supersonic parachute ever built, and more than 500,000 lines of code."

A pyrotechnic battery disconnect, which I suppose cuts the connection to the battery instantly in case of accident to avoid shorting it. There are already pyrotechnic devices in cars: airbags are pyrotechnic, as well as safety belt detents.

California, being a paragon of long-term planning, decided to import the pyrotechnic eucalyptus to the state, thinking it would be a good source of fast-growing lumber of railroad ties. Welp, turns out eucalyptus makes terrible lumber, is unsuitable for railroad ties, lowers the water table, poisons the native flora, and can spontaneously ignite when sunlight shines on drops of the resin.

They're using a pneumatic stage sep mechanism rather than a pyrotechnic one to eliminate material-handling, static, and other safery concerns related to pyrotechnics. Rather than relying on one or a few very large engines to power the first stage, they've chosen to use 9 smaller engines on the first stage and isolate each one in its own cato-proof container, again allowing them to gain more experience with a single system, prove its reliability, and leverage that experience and track record to perform a larger job.

Instead of pyrotechnic effects, the daylight projectile contained “a grotesque balloon in the form of an animal, human figure, or other form, which, being open and weighted at the lower end, becomes inflated as it falls and remains in the air for a considerable period.” Sounds a bit like a lost art, but I guess parade floats are similar.
