Here's an idea I came up with today:
Home-made propane flamethrower!

What does that quote in your signature say?
Plus it needs to be a liquid. Propane will readily turn to gas the split second it comes out giving you limited range.0 -
The flame thrower was invented years ago![;)] 0 -
The overfill thing on the regulator will be removed and the regulator reinstalled, then the tank will be carried up-side down. I think it would work.
Edit: Kevin, this would be home-made since it's not exactly something you find on your local gun shop's shelves.0 -
look out, willie might take it.....
looks good on paper.....0 -
THIS IS A VERY BAD IDEA!!!! 0 -
Now I'm not an ATF guy but, a home made flame thrower might just be slightly illigal to own. 0 -
Oxygen?
COmpressed air?
I think it would make a better flame if you can mix the propane with additional forced air at the gun. This means either compressed air (and a hose to the air compressor), or a battery operated fan/ blower to force air into the gun and mix with propane.
Perhaps a small two cycle motor with a squirrel cage fan could be mounted on top of the upside down propane tank.
In the past I've used a natural gas "lance" where gas comes from a 3/4 inch hose and it is mixed with a 90 pound 3/8inch air line. Just used a normal black pipe tee. The output is a 3/4 inch black pipe about 5-10 feet long. At the end if an elbow then anther 4 feet of pipe. Basically it is a large torch without any back flame preventers. It makes one hot flame when the compressed air is turned on.
We don't want to melt the brick, but it is hot enough to melt ceramic brick slowly. It is deffinately hot enough to melt your basic "Superduty" or "Fire Brick"
AGAIN, THIS IS A VERY BAD IDEA.0 -
what-aya throwing? gas?
duhhhh![8][8]
how does it propel?
think about it.[8][8]
looks more like a portable hotdog cooker.[8][8]0 -
I wonder if you could fill one of those Round up pump sprayers with some kind of petroleum product and use the propane for the pilot light on that. You would have farther range. 0 -

Been getting drawing lessons from WALLIE??? He may not appreciate the competition. 0 -
Where do you cook the burgers? [?] Wait...never mind...I think I know [xx(] 0 -
I was thinking of this as more comparable to a Da Vinci brainstorm drawing. 0 -
While taking classes, perhaps he should look into some combustion engineering. 0 -
BORED?
That looks more like a proper start.0 -
POOF!! You...not the thread. 0 -
Do you have a preference as to where your ashes are to be spread or should that be left up to the prevailing wind direction immediately following your test? 0 -

I see nothing in your plan about a flamer retardent suit.
They already have one of those anyways. Just go to home depot and buy piazo ignited roofing torch like they use in torch down roofing aplications0 -

Why not gasoline or kero propelled by propane? Maybe hydrogen propelled alcohol?
Liquid oxygen and hydrogen? See you in the next state.0 -

I don't see anything in the ATF regs that cover a flamethrower. It doesn't fit the definition of a Destructive Device, and a search only lists Maryland as specifically regulating it.0 -
Remember what happened when Wallie traded in his cannon for a flame thower.[:D] 0 -
Kinda like the You tube where the guy takes the flaming shot and misses his mouth and cathces on fire HAHA 0 -
Mix some gasoline and styrofoam in there for longevity. Don't do that I was just joking! 0
