Homemade flamethrower
 
Something to do with your PVC and copper pipe soldering/joining skills.

One of the coolest and craziest things I've seen on the internet

Well up here in the NW I can say it is for melting the ice off the drive way. :D That would limit it to winter though.... :shrug: :D

I could get a solid 6-8 months usage out of it then :)

i've thought a lot about building one of those, but using those little camp stove propane bottles for propellant.

never gotten around to it though... all the crazy things i'd do if i had a nice big shop to play in all day long :):)

I've made stuff based on the same principles, pressure, valve, fire stuff.


You can make pneumatic potato guns with water-sprinkler pnumatic valves, a pvc cylinder of compressed air, and a barrel.

I've made 4 as of this day. They look very similar to this : http://www.xinventions.com/main/spud/pac2.htm

Soak it in gasoline, or fill it with gun powder. :evilaugh:

BillA 07-07-2004 05:25 PM
and igniting the gasolene ?
the gunpowder will work but requires mixing with something to make a spark

gotta be something simple . . . .

Looks like the forum went away but this is a good place to start looking.

BillA 07-07-2004 05:52 PM
THAT is an interesting site

I built one in highschool. I used an oxygen conaster from a B-52 to hold propane gas, and hooked up a small clear PVC tube filled with liquid fuel that got blasted out by the propane through a small nozzel at the end of the barrel.

It was a fun project.
