Mad thermite gun for those little everyday flamethrower (16+)

A year ago at Indiegogo magically passed to raise funds for the production of portable flamethrower, which beats at 8 meters. Excellent for fire ignition and destruction of parasites (in the sense of insects).

Flamethrower is already on sale, and now fans have a new idol of fireworks. British engineer, inventor and blogger Fёrz Colin (Colin Furze) produced in his barn thermite grenade Steampunk! This gadget even more impressive than the flamethrower. "The gun" shoots projectiles with thermite mixture is burned at a temperature 2300-2700ºC.



The design consists of a pneumatic supply and ejecting device, a cylinder of compressed gas burner relay battery, and the handle stem. Near the handle - toggle switches to feed the projectile and the burner

.

Thermite engineer produced by mixing iron oxide (eight pieces) with aluminum powder (three parts). The mixture was compacted under pressure in a metal tank from the air freshener (author used the aerosol from the paint). That container and the gun fires.

Making thermite mixture and shells


The projectile charge in the barrel, and the feed device moves it closer to the gas burner an electric ignition. The projectile is ignited, it fires a pneumatic pusher and starts the "bomb" into the goal.

In the published videos Colin Fёrz demonstrates the manufacturing process of thermite shells and "termitomёta". From it he sets fire to the garbage mountain in the barn and arranges fireworks.

Making the starting device


Warning: children should not play with fire. The use of such a device may be illegal in your country.
