Awesome Flamethrower

Colin Furze has created all kinds of inventions over the years, from useful to useless. This one falls into the latter bucket, though it could be used to get your campfire going. Because nobody was asking for it, Colin created a flamethrower that mounts inside of his pants and shoots fire from his butt. It’s powered by an aerosol can and an electric igniter.

If there was ever a build that required a “don’t try this at home” disclaimer, it has to be this insane portable fire vortex generator built by Jairus of All. It uses a series of powerful fans and ductwork to spew forth a giant swirling column of fire.

Gav and Dan of The Slow Mo Guys got their hands on a personal flamethrower from X Matter, loaded it up with fuel, then fired it up in front of their watchful lens for our enjoyment. The coolest shot has to be the face-on fireball at 2:40.

Musician Valentin Guérin has a very special brass instrument – a trombone that doubles as a flamethrower. Here, he turns in a performance of Arthur Pryor’s Fantastic Polka, with Valérie Guérin-Descouturelle on piano. We think his nickname should be “hot lips.”
