The kid in the link is the kind of idiot who builds something like this, ends up blowing his arm off or burning 90% of his body, and then sues the manufacturer of the valve that he used for not labeling it "caution- do not use this valve as the trigger device for a homemade flamethrower, as this can cause an explosion"............

Yep, but darn it if he wasn't wearing his safety glasses.

Im just wondering how he was doing it in the middle of what looks like an upscale subdivision and the cops were never called.

They might have been called, but hadn't yet arrived by the end of the video! I saw a for sale sign at one of those houses in the video. Those people probably wanted to move away from that kid.

I'm going to home depot tomorrow...actually the styrofoam and gas thing we used to make long burning buckets for a Halloween haunted walk thing. It was more fun making it sitting over a thing of gas and lots of paper plates we took from the cafeteria.

In our last house our next door neighbor rented out his house to a man and his teenage nephew. That kid was always getting into trouble. One day I looked out my upstairs window, and their backyard was on fire. He had made some kind of flame thrower. Something obviously went very wrong.

We used to make match guns from clothes-pins. They would shoot stick matches about 20 feet or more. We caused a fire in a vacant lot and we were unable to put it out. We were about 10 years old so what did we do ?

We ran to the nearest bushes and watched the fire department put out our fire of coarse ! We were very bad.
