BUILDING A FLAME THROWER FROM THE BOOK: THE POOR MAN'S JAMES BOND BY KURT SAXON
|
||
|
||
AN EXCELLENT LITTLE FLAME THROWER CAN BE MADE, USING JUST ABOUT ANY METAL
|
||
OR PLASTIC HAND SQUIRTER. THE ONLY CONSIDERATION IS THAT THE LIQUID MUST
|
||
COME OUT IN A STREAM INSTEAD OF AN ATOMIZED SPRAY.
|
||
|
||
SOME OIL CANS SHOOT A STREAM 30 FEETS. SPRAYERS CAN OFTEN BE ADJUSTED
|
||
FROM A SPRAY TO A STREAM. SPRAYERS OF VARIOUS KINDS CAN BE FOUND IN AUTO
|
||
SUPPLY, GARDEN AND GROCERY STORES.
|
||
|
||
A SIX-INCH TUBE, USUALLY ALUMINUM OR BRASS, IS FITTEN ON THE NOZZLE. A
|
||
WICK OR PIECE OF HEAVY CLOTH IS WIRED ONTO THE OTHER END OF THE TUBE. THE
|
||
FUEL IS GASOLINE, ACETONE OR LIGHTER FLUID.
|
||
|
||
TO USE, THE TUBE IS TILTED DOWNWARD SLIGHTLY. THE SPRAYER IS SQUEEZED
|
||
SLOWLY SO THE FUEL WILL DRIBBLE OUT AND SATURATE THE WICK ALL AROUND.
|
||
|
||
THE WICK IS THEN LIT AND THE DEVICE IS AIMED AND SQUEEZED. QUICK, HARD
|
||
SQUEEZES WILL SQUIRT THE FUEL THROUGH THE TUBE AND PAST THE BURNING WICK.
|
||
THE WICK IGNITES THE FUEL AND YOU HAVE SUCH A DANDY WEAPON YOU WILL NEVER STOP
|
||
BRAGGING! IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE BROTHER, HE CAN TAKE IT TO SCHOOL FOR SHOW AND
|
||
TELL.
