This is the article that will burn all my credibility with you kossacks and make you call homeland security. I want to point out its legal in almost every state.

For those of you who found my microwave experiments wimpy:

I made a flamethrower out of a fire extinguisher (just make it work backwards), some plumbing, a pressure cylinder and scrap metal. I named her Puff. She was fueled with a 50 50 mixture of gasoline and diesel I call puff juice. Doesn't that sound like a rapper?

Here you can see her incinerate a brush pile. Did you know 2burn is the cube root of inciner8? I can mathematically prove that's funny! You see, 2 is the cube root of 8 and….

I must point out here, you have to really, really know what you are doing and be quite meticulous about leak proofing and pressure testing or you’ll end up doing a human torch impersonation. That’s why I provide no details, be it on your hands. At least it won't electrocute you.

Also, this is more of a brush burning farm tool than a weapon-range of 20 feet and maybe 4 shots, quite pathetic compared to a pistol.

I was eventually able to train her to spit fireballs! This is even better with sound, a sorta hoarse coughing.

Suck on it, Elon Muskrat!

Notice how I made the nozzle longer? Thats because the thermal radiation was quite uncomfortable to the user until I did. I got lots of complaints from the little old ladies in the flamethrower club.

I charred large swaths of the lawn when first testing it. When my ex wife saw that she freaked. “Wtf happened?” “Uh-lightning?” Was the best I could do. She glared and rustled her leathery wings. “Ok, I made a flamethrower!” “Why the fuck did you do that?!” “because I love you!” Did I mention she's my ex? Do you know what engineers use for birthcontrol?

Our personalities.
