Kind of wussy.

What a great idea! Use a flame thrower in a closed garage! Nevermind that their primary use is to suffocate people in bunkers by burning up the oxygen..

That's nothing man.

Try that + M-100
Then I'll be impressed.

although I recommend you not to play with dangerous fireworks.(is an M-100 a firework? or an explosive, either way dangerous)

M-1000 = 1/4 stick of dynamite

Couldn't the super soaker blow up? Or is that similar to the 'drop a lighted match in a bucket of gasoline and watch nothing happen' effect?

I remember reading that the military flame throwers used in the pacific campaign in WWII only had two minutes of fuel. They had to shoot in bursts.

That's freaking crazy. But it sure is interesting to watch.

...no it's not. Consumer fireworks by law can not have more than 500mg of explosives in them. And an M1000 doesn't even have close to that. It's basically a single fuse black cat.

Consumer: legal
M-1000: bought in Chinatown because they aren't legal.

Did ever a fire breather explode due to the flame following the fuel back in?

As a more concrete example: Think of how a standard candle lighter works. It's about the same as a super soaker filled with fuel and a flame in front of it. Those things don't explode either.

Ahh, well I'm sure the names vary. I have often seen fireworks called M1000 in firework stands as another weak M80 ripoff.

EDIT: http://www.tntfireworks.com/ncom/tnt?pid=400187&id=&zip= Like so.

The fire breather doesn't put the liquid under great pressure.

Tanks don't explode unless there's a sufficient mixture of fuel vapor and oxygen in them. To fix leaks in large fuel tanks, they actually fill them up to find the leak, then weld those areas closed, with fuel in the tank. The fuel on the outside burns off, but the stuff inside can't combust because there's no oxygen.


Pressure has nothing to do with it. It's the lack of oxygen in the tank and lines that prevent them from ever catching fire. If you lit a waterproof match or flare inside a full gas tank, know what would happen? Nothing.

That would depend on how full the tank is. It's also why it's dangerous to drive without a gas cap. The way a super soaker works, I'm sure it's possible to ignite the fuel inside the tank when it starts to get low. However unlikely it might be.
