This is for 20 continues seconds, not total so you need to start the additional fireworks going befor the previous one ends. Use 4 Fireworks and 3 Fire Dragons in the level editor to do this.

Put the 4 firework along the bottom. Set the fuse on the leftmost as lit (press the dpad to the right)

Put the fire dragon up and right of the first three firework, angling there mouth to point at the fuse of the next firework. You want the dragons places so the get hit midway through the fireworks display so the next one will start going off just before the last one ends. You also need to adjust the position of the fireworks so just the fuse lights.

Once everything is in position start the machine, the achievement pops about midway through the 4th fireworks.

EDIT: Spilner has provided a video showing this in action.

I'd suggest putting wooden planks under the dragons and using those to light on fire and light the fireworks. Helps you out because you don't have to be as exact with the placement and angle of the dragons

You must first unlock the Editor mode, details here Builder in Crazy Machines Elements

For this trophy you need to be continuously launching fireworks which will require a setup that allows for more than one firework to be lit and active.

Fireworks launch for about 10 seconds so you will need a few to allow for their fuses to be lit (Max of 4). The easiest to achieve this is to setup a lit firework on the ground and place a Fire Dragon above it so that once the firework goes off they set off the fire dragon about 4 launches in. Then have that fire dragon aimed towards another firework's fuse (Only the fuse!) and repeat the setup so you will have a chain of Fireworks, setting off Fire Dragons, that set off Fireworks, etc.

Your setup should look something like this

You'll first need to unlock the editor by solving the first five puzzles of the "Rigid Basics" pack in puzzle mode. See Perfect Puzzler if you need help with this. You'll also need to complete at least some of the puzzle packs to unlock the cannon and other useful parts, although it helps to just wait until you've unlocked Collector so you'll have everything at your disposal.

Credit for the following method goes to A47A47. Start a new level in editor mode, and take the fireworks from your inventory. Place three of them on the ground, and then press D-pad Right to light the fuse before placing a fourth. Now go to your inventory and select the heater. Place one next to each set of fireworks that has an unlit fuse. Then get the chip controlled power socket and place it next to each of the heaters. Plug all of the heaters in, and then get a timer chip. Using D-pad Right to add one second to the countdown, place one chip with a 5 second countdown, one with a 10 second countdown, and one with a 15 second countdown. Then get a wire and connect each of the timers to one of the power sockets.

Start the machine. If set up correctly, one set will already be lit and start launching. Before it runs out, the 5 second timer will have finished and lit the second fireworks, causing them to begin launching before the first set runs out. This should repeat with the third and fourth sets as well until they have all finished, after which the trophy will unlock.
