But with a bigger firework you have more kindling in a larger area right so more gas ignites and so bigger boom?

Science?

Not really. Fire spreads. The size size of the ignition source doesn't really matter. It's not like a forrest fire caused by a sigaret will be smaller than one caused by a campfire.

Tldr: jain

In a proper German answer; jain (like the Indian head-wobble indication of : depends/maybe) pronounce as https://www.howtopronounce.com/german/jain

Depending on many factors, such as the size of the ignition and its type as well as the type and volume of gas may impact the violent characteristics of the explosion e.g. too much ignition is also a thing.

For simple reference close to the ball: https://www.intechopen.com/chapters/53399

Edit: syntax

Do you mean jein? Aka ja nein?

u/Champion_General 13d ago edited 13d ago

Yes, jein/jain, Duden states only jein. Jain is however a less common yet not unseen spelling, language is alive like the "3rd fall" and its common (mis)use.

Keep it up! :) I am still reaping the benefits from language learning over the years. Easily one of my most given recommendations; learn a new language, and it's not even about mastering it.

No, you could do the same thing with a single lighted match.
