gshoppe could you post an instructable on your version plz

If you want a more reliable ignition, use a negative ion generator (available at electronic goldmine)... you can get a continuous 1/4" gap from them... its what my version uses, and my ignition is 100% reliable.

The ion generator offered by that website uses 120VAC. Would it work with just battery power?
gschoppe in reply to MorhionAug 18, 2009. 5:56 AM
they offer two generators... one is rated for 120VAC the other for 12VDC... the 12VDC model will run fine on 9VDC from a battery, or 12vDC from an N type security battery (for short runs).
Morhion in reply to gschoppeAug 18, 2009. 8:43 PM
Ah, ok. I only saw the 120VAC version. Thanks for the info.

but arent those usually powered by 120 ac? the system i use is reliable enough for what it does though
gschoppe in reply to budsiskosOct 12, 2008. 7:54 PM
the one from electronic goldmine is 12Vdc, designed for car uses... it works great off 9-18v from 9v batteries

might be interesting to try. ill look into it or you could try it when they finally post my instructable

sweet but u should try things such as putting the nozzle or the butane at an angle up maybe 35 degrees? that way you can tilt your hand/wrist down and it still shoots straigh making less fire hazards and opening up an oppurtunity for a larger flame

what do you use as a fuel
budsiskos (author) in reply to ThelonelysandwitchOct 17, 2008. 1:09 PM
butane refils
Thelonelysandwitch in reply to budsiskosOct 17, 2008. 1:11 PM
if you put a tiny piece of copper in the flame, it will turn green. thanks

Oh man, I can't wait to see the viral videos of this kid burning his house down or setting himself on fire!!!! Neat invention though. Now all we need are some supervillians!

sorta like Tetranitrate's flame slinger...
budsiskos (author) in reply to jakee117Sep 26, 2008. 6:41 AM
sorta but the ignition is a spark instead of an open flam, and everything goes on the wrist(no fuel in pocket)
