I shone my torch through an opaque red paperweight in a dark room for this one. I imagine that it's like the colour you see before an atomic bomb wave hits you.
The first atomic bombs ever were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The dropping of these bombs ended the war that we had against Japan.
The only other example I've found of this is on Google patents for a design which used a cap as a propellant for the rocket. Very tempted to make my own version of this to see how well it would work.
I had no idea that I was going to find such an amazing historical site where famous physicists I'd admired had worked in the 40s, 50s and 60s!
I guess there are some advantages to living close to the world's first nuclear generating station!

The Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction (MOLLER) experiment proposes to measure the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (Møller) scattering. The measurement will be carried out at Jefferson Laboratory's state-of-the-art accelerator by rapidly flipping the longitudinal polarization of electrons that have been accelerated to 11 GeV and observing the resulting fractional difference in the probability of these electrons scattering off atomic electrons in a liquid hydrogen target. This asymmetry is proportional to the weak charge of the electron, which in turn is a function of the electroweak mixing angle, a fundamental parameter of the electroweak theory. The accuracy of the proposed measurement allows for a low energy determination of the mixing angle with precision on par with the two best measurements at electron-positron colliders.
