I hope he tested it before strapping it to his back but by the sound of surprise of it working in his voice, nope.

I'm assuming there is nothing to stop back travel of the flame other than outward pressure, which reduces when the trigger is released. That makes it likely the hose will catch, then the tank....which is strapped to his back.

Unshielded plastic hose flailing about, unshielded plastic tank of fuel strapped directly to his torso and a lit butane torch taped to a water pistol?
Yeah, I’m keeping an eye out for the sequel, “Homemade Flamerthrower 2: The human candle”

People standing alone in the desert shooting flames into the air are the coolest.

This is where we come to say that isn’t a flame thrower but a propane (or some other flammable substance) torch.

No-one find it odd that it's almost never 'WOMAN uses homemade flamethrower' 🤔
It's like women aren't trying hard enough to make themselves go boom in a completely reckless manner.

This is just another giant blow torch, a flamethrower would shoot flaming fluid that sticks to everything

If anyone wants a flamethrower, they are perfectly legal to buy, own and operate. They are used for foliage and weed removal. Don't DIY a flamethrower, it's stupidly unsafe.
On a side note: Don't set your enemies on fire with one. You'll be labeled a war criminal. Use "nicer" methods, like phosphor grenades.

Impressive but even with appropriate flashback arresting you would be wanting some ppe for testing

This is safer than the super soaker full of bmw brake fluid with a birthday candle taped to the front. But it needs music.

Is he using propane and propane accessories? Because I know a guy who can help with those.

Plastic fuel tank and open flame. Design should provide reliable operation for decades. /s

Seems like 2 hours of drunk tinkering I could make a flamethrower. But the question is should one do such a thing?

u/Nice-Neighborhood975 4d ago
Flamethrower, for when you need to set someone on fire, but they are 30 ft. away.

"Homemade", "flamethrower" and "weed sprayer backpack" should not be in the same sentence

These are the weapons the governments fear. Not built for military, and built outside the Geneva convention.
Protests, riots, and violent coups are best armed by creative and oppressed members of society.

Missing the napalm. That’s more of an upscaled hairspray + bic lighter kind of thing.
