Flamethrowing Jack-O'-Lantern

Step 25 Fire!

Take a number of steps way back from the pumpkin and press the trigger on the transmitter. If all is well with the world, the jack-o'-lantern will blast a burst of hellfire out of its mouth.

Shock and awe all innocent bystanders. This is the stuff nightmares are made of.

All of that said... SERIOUSLY, DON'T MAKE THIS.

Cool! I did the same thing with my articulated cardboard skeleton on the front door of my pad using a flex line to extend the natural gas from behind my kitchen range/oven to the peephole on the door - motion detector > solenoid > flex-line to nozzle from a fireplace ceramic log kit to concentrate/direct flame at peephole. Adjusting the gas flow at the source resulted in flame range from the answer to "Got a light?" all the way to the center line of the street in front of the house! There were 18 of those nozzles to share the gas feed in the fireplace kit I cannibalized the nozzle from so... chose halfway between front door and the sidewalk, and, being self contained with unlimited fuel supply, you can just turn it on, cross your fingers that the Gas Co delivers @ constant pressure and forget about it!

Pretty impressive. Assuming that I don't make one of these, how long would the can of WD40 last? (How many 1-second bursts, say)

I would say about 100-200. I don't know exactly how large the can is though.

Add a speaker with a recorded evil laugh.

maybe because i dont program things, but it would seem this would be a lot easier a number of different ways. the simplest would be a 12v source and a spst momentary switch all hard wired. if wireless was a necessity then a cheap wireless doorbell from walmart, wired to the actuator, would accomplish the same results cheaper and easier. awesome instructable, i think i might try it a different way
