Author Topic: Potato cannon- Epic Fail.  (Read 4004 times)

I've something like it, it's cool.  Flame in front of barrel, then gas shooting, not flames in bottle thingy. durr.

I know how a flame thrower works, and if you want to go ahead and test a horrible idea with a kid's toy meant for WATER, go ahead.

Just don't post about your 2nd and 3rd degree burns.

Maybe try a gas powered airsoft gun with flame in front?

Just hope it doesn't backup and explode.

If you fill a water gun with hair spray or some other flammable liquid and attach a lighter with some duct tape on it so its always on and shoot the water gun, tis technically a flamethrower right?

My brother-in-law has a potato gun......He made a wrong adjustment and now the gun can shoot through a 6 inch thick piece of wood xD :cookie:  :cookie:  :cookie:

@Oromis

What happens when your pressure is gone and there is still some gas on the muzzle?

Aerosol ignites when the air-to fuel mixture is prime.

or some other flammable liquid

Yeah because plastic doesn't melt, right?

Moron.
lol you fill the super soaker with propane or any liquid flamable and attatch something to the gun that can hold a match in front of the part where it shoots out said liquid is how I think you could make one. No plastic caught in the flame, at first, until the fire leads up the stream of propane and blows you up :D

You don't even know.

There's something called air-to-fuel mixture. You can't just squirt out liquid and magically turn it into an 80 foot long range marshmellow roaster.

Actually, I used a PVC container strapped to my back for the fuel. It just had a metallic shower cord strung up through the thing to prevent the super soaker from melting before it could make a decent shot. As for the flame element, one of those lighters that isn't easily extinguishable by wind.

Also, there are several videos of people doing this all over Youtube. So you can watch and enjoy them playing with them. Note the lack of consideration for said fuel air ratio in most of these videos. It either isn't that important or a 13 year old knows a lot more than we previously imagined. I'd think the first one. I had access to racing fuel.
