How much do those things cost? I'd love to see every fireworks show end with blowing one up, watching the world change color for a few seconds is very surreal.

Looking at this document: https://www.endeavourenergy.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/62ccd4804...

Page 49 lists some prices in a table. It looks like they range from $40,000 to $50,000 (AUD) for a pole-mounted transformer
