View Full Version : My Flame thrower

ladies and gents, oh who am i kidding socially ostracised chronic masturbating boys. i have made myself a tidy little flame thrower that can be succesfully weilded with one hand, and the beauty of it is all the materials cost about $5. the key to the success of the device comes from a brilliant item that i picked up at a local $2 shop, its a trigger operated aerosol can holder - you can clip any standard nozel aerosol can into the item (trust me any can, they all have the same collar) and the pull a trigger and it sprays as normal. i took the nozel piece off a can of deoderant and stuck it on a butane canister (one you use to refill those kitchen blowtorches) and plugged that into the tigger holder. i then tape a piece of stiff wire to the top of the holder and bent the end so it hangs in the path of the spray. a strip of cotton fabric was tied onto the wire and soaked in a little bit of lighter fluid. once lit this is your pilot light and each spray is out of the way of your hand holding a lighter. i'll post a pic in the morning when i could be bothered.

are you kidding me?

i used to tape a zippo taped to a block on the side (so it wasnt right up against the can) and do the same thing with axe and tag cans

that was not even a big deal in gr 6

i was really hoping you made something cool

Its the fact that its trigger fired. Am I correct or have I some how mislead myself.

for those of you that do make one: when you point it up it makes a big fire ball
(dont do it inside)

Maybe not deadly but you could light up a bowl pretty badassly. :D

well the only problem i see is what happens if the flame chases the fuel back to the can and it explodes. unless youve fixed this and i dont know how. i dont usually make... flamethrowers

I think everybody is to paranoid with that. I'm not gonna say it isnt possible but it rarely happens. Its not to hard to avoid, all you need is a little common sense. Just dont hold it for to long or fuck around with it and such.

heres the thing about it chasing back to the can
theres no oxygen in the can therefore no combustion

no worries
it chases it back to the can on me alot
once it even caught the plastic nozle on fire

but just to be safe you can put the ignited cloth as far away as you can where it will still ignite the fuel and just dont hold it more than 10 seconds at a time

super soaker and dilluted napalm

you can't dilute napalm. water and petroleum are insoluble in each other

haha so many poeple make such bullshit claims on here

ghetto Gasoline-Styrofoam mix and instead of letting it dry out mix it real well in kerosene and it wont be stringy, water Also doesn't burn that well

Use the super soaker that's like a giant syringe, the one you press into the base thing it comes with to fill it. I had a thing made specifically for pressurising liquids recycled from a piston pneumatic spud gun, 4" pvc chamber about 3 foot long with a 4-1.5 reducer - 1.5-1" reducer and then about 3 inches of 1" pvc to a female fitting with a faucet screwed into it, or screw what you need onto it.
unscrew faucet and fill with your liquid, pump schrader valve behind piston to pressurize the liquid.
The base for the super soaker attached to the faucet. press soaker into base to fill with the fuel.
2' dowel duct taped to bottom of soaker with a rag at the end, light up the rag and go at it.
The kerosene keeps the napalm from drying up and as you spray it it webs around the target.
I need to take the vid from vcr tape and show results.
Im getting a video card with s-vid soon and i can.

super soaker and dilluted napalm

would that not "***t" (and by that i mean chemically not by heat) the inner plastic with the gasoline in the napalm? and i'm not being sarcastic i actually wanna know haha

maybe methanol, a gas mask, and a super soaker? or i guess ethanol if you wanna be non-cancerous or whatever methanol does adversly to the human body

if you dake "dust off" or almost any brand of aerosol duster, and turn it upside down so that it shoots liquid, and ignite it, its a flame about a foot long, and blue. its sick. set off my smoke detector from like 6 feet away. oh, and those are also trigger operated. mind you it would look goofy upside down, but for just messin around with friends or something it works

real flamethrowers use a tank of compressed gas to aerosolize jellied gasoline right? i could be wrong. something about having two tanks tho

The soaker i used seemed to be acrylic and held up well, but the seals did rot some.

Its interesting that those cans can make a spoon so cold it shatters,, and also light your house up in flame..

thats what i was thinking. you could make something cold as hell, light it on fire and the blow the flame out all with the same can

cool ^^. I'm a little confused on the matter of making flamethrowers from deodorant cans and a candle or w/e other components your using. I heard that the Can can spontaneously combust? Is this possibility removed by keeping the flame fairly far away from the nozzle?

Imperium

The can is not likely to spontaneously combust because there is no oxygen present in the can to complete the combustion.

Numerator, i thought you were leaving? It seems like a good idea, but its in no way practical. Just sort of a small pat on your own back to say oh look at my own enginuety, aren't I clever.At least hes still around.
