    Yeah, these are typically referred to as parabolic curves. We added a whole bunch in the 2022 Madness Collides show - "collides" was a focus on these curves.

    Interactive idea you could do.

    Just wire up a bunch of doorbell switches with 9V Batteries.

    Run the circuit out a safe distance and match individual smoke cake tubes.

    Wrap foil over the tops and tape it down. There may be some debate to this, because sometimes the foil collects fuel and comes floating down while still burning.
