Straight Outta X-Men: Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower
Gizmodo:
Everett Bradford is a student with a wannabe superhero streak, so for a project in his mechanisms class he’s built his own flamethrower. A wrist-mounted one, to give an arm-directed puff of flame like Pyro from X-Men. As you can see from the video, it actually works… so ten out of ten to Everett. But minus several million for the instant when he puts it to his face to puff on the pilot light. Didn’t his Mom tell him not be careless with fire?
Hoping to re-create Pyro’s fire-spewing abilities, mechanical engineer Everett Bradford has created The Pyro System. The 20 year old senior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute created this wrist-mounted flamethrower for his final project. In a series of videos, Bradford demonstrates his invention and breaks down exactly how it was made. Flame on after the jump.

Wait this really isn’t new Rammstein has been doing that for years along with flame throwers, flame maskes, flame bows, and well they use to dump gas on the stage and light it on fire.

April 30th, 2008 at 5:08 pmi wanna actually comment on the movie segment. Why didn’t the second, third, or forth cop just shoot him. Perhaps he was too Caucasian to raise their concerns…lol…just kidding…its just a movie…and a poor one at that.
April 30th, 2008 at 6:11 pmI wonder how long until we see the “boy on fire” video on you tube? Maybe the kid will put his talents to some use before that happens.
April 30th, 2008 at 7:01 pmIt’s people like this kid that go on to design stuff like the thermobaric tunnel busting bombs. I predict this kid will go on to make some cool stuff for the military to kill lots and lots of bad guys.
