I think this effect used to be called "Roaring Lions" in the UK. Basically constructed like a hummer with a slower mix containing a high amount of titanium if I recall correctly, so the unit spins on its axis but doesn't hum.

That would be farfalle except they dont have the characturistic butterfly shaped pattern created by the two opposed vents. They dont have the spiral tail of a ti serpent or go ghetter (stickless rocket)

The ti bloom appears to increase in size as they rise, so it could be they have a spherical or perhaps conical case rather than a standard parallel tube. They could just as easily be basic ti comets ;)

Last year i bought some tiny effects that behaved the same way. (mini "cake" if you like. Seven 5cm high tubes in glossy wrappings...) I was pretty much expecting a paper tube loaded with comp, and a slit on the side of one end. But thats not what i got. There is just a gray pumped star of composition. No idea what makes it spin and behave like that.

B!
