Homemade LEGO Flamethrower

Here is a video of the LEGO Flamethrower in action. Click play or this link to download it if you can't see the video below

Flame size is about 1.5 meters at best. The fire consumed so much oxygen that window seals begun to make a wining noise because air was coming in to the apartment from all holes at rapid speed. That was really weird! The noise is also unbelievable. You can get a faint idea from the video but to hear it in person is quite impressive and makes you kind of respect the force of fire.

Some people have asked me doesn't the plastic LEGO bricks melt. Well no they don't. The flame is actually couple of inches from the flamethrower because of the pressure from the gas.

Why did I do this? Heaven knows. I like flames and building stuff, that's for sure.

This is very dangerous and blaablaablaa. Anyway, I built this when I was still young and stupid, now days I'm just stupid. This homemade LEGO flamethrower is completely built with LEGO toy building bricks. Only thing not LEGO is a piece of string and a refill bottle of butane gas which is commonly used in butane lighters and can be bought in almost any supermarket or grocery store.

LEGO Flamethrower works by winding a little round knob which pulls the string which pulls the lever which pushes the bottle of butane against a holder with a hole from which butane shoots out from. Does that make any sense? Anyway, it's not rocket science. I have to manually light a match or a cigarette lighter in front of the flamethrower in order to ignite the gas.
