PVC Flamethrower

Homegrown PVC flamethrower: This is probably the granddaddy of bad ideas, but it’s very interesting nonetheless.

A friend sent me that link this morning. Scary.

I wonder if Homeland Security has paid this kid a visit yet. Or if he's spending some time at a Shriners Burn Hospital.

What does "NSFW" mean?

There was some discussion of this on a mailing list I subscribe to yesterday. The gist of the conversation was that flamethrowers are dangerous enough (to the operator) with metal parts; making one from PVC is suicidal in the extreme.

anyone have an opinion as to whether or not this would work for the gun assembly? It's the trigger/gun assembly for a pressure washer http://i22.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/10/9a/48_1.JPG Would the denatured alcohol fuel eat through it?

As much as I love discussion, I'm closing the comments here lest we get sued or something.
