Wiimote Rubens Tube: Control Fire With Sound! (And a Nintendo Wiimote!)

Step 4: Step 2: Modifying the Propane Regulator

Step 2: Modifying the Propane Regulator

The existing bernzomatic propane torch doesn't provide enough flow for a tube of this size. I have found that boring the nozzle out to 1/16" with the drill press adequately increases the flow.

(As of note... we finally happened upon this method after numerous failures. Building your own propane regulator we found out is a VERY BAD idea.)

Excellent article, and kudos on the great photos too, mate. Also check out this article that details the seriousness and danger involved with fixing propane regulator problems - I'm glad I did!
