]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> Yes, it's me. I am the idiot(savant ;) ) who built this.

I would like to reply to some of the comments:

"I'd think that would liquidize the plastic to a state of LEGO-e goodness."

The plastic doesn't melt becouse of the pressure from the butane bottle keeps the flame couple of inches from the LEGO part.

"Sooooo, what creates the spark then?"

That has to be done the old fashion way using a cigaret lighter.

More info on the flamethrower on my original web site:

p.s. The flame was alot longer with a new butane bottle. The video was made with an almost burned out one.

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> Ok, I admit that was pretty cool. However, the first time some kid burns down the house with a LEGO flamethrower, make sure you donate something to the family.

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> That thing is amazing, who would've known you could do that with legos?

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> that is just awesome.... though personally i'd test that outdoors...

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> Legos, is there anything they can't do?

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> They kids and therefore slightly retarded. Plus I dont think you can carry this thing around. Its made of plastic.

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> The only thing not LEGO is a refill can of butane and a piece of string ....

Sooooo, what creates the spark then?

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> Two things.

1. Pressed play on the video and heard the sound of a fire engine roaring past. Perfect timing.

2. Flamethrower + small room = probably not the best place to test a flamethrower out. Maybe, you know, outside in a concrete parking lot would be better. Just a guess, though.

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> This reminds me of the Robosapien flamethrower as well as the supersoaker thrower videos seen on YouTube. Still, everything made out of legos? That's pretty incredible.

]]> <![CDATA[LEGO Flamethrower: Ages 4 and Up]]> My god, I've been trying to create weapons out of LEGOs since I was 7 years old...That's incredible!

It makes the pyromaniac inside of me as giddy as a 13-year-old schoolgirl seeing her hot-but-way-too-old math teacher for the first time ever.

Now I'm inspired...off to play with my big rolling plastic cart of LEGOs, a Zippo, and a can of spraypaint.
