DIY flamethrower drawings. Flamethrower at home. Jet jet backpack flamethrower
The use of a flamethrower from a river boat by the Americans in Vietnam Modern-type flamethrowers appeared at the beginning of the 20th century.
The first backpack flamethrower was created by the German scientist Richard Fiedler in 1901. Flamethrowers were used back in the Balkan War and were widely used already in the First World War to destroy enemy firing points. It turned out that the flamethrower is not only highly effective, but also has a strong psychological effect: there were cases when soldiers fled only when the flamethrowers appeared. By the beginning of World War II, flamethrowers were in service with most developed countries. In the Chemical Troops of the Red Army, the engineering assault units of the RVGK were armed with backpack flamethrowers. Vehicles based on the T-26, T-34, and KV were equipped with tank flamethrowers (in the USSR they were called “chemical tanks”).
Backpack flamethrowers had a very mediocre firing range: the fire mixture was ejected from them under the influence of compressed air. However, by the beginning of World War II, powerful high-explosive flamethrowers were developed, in which the required pressure was created by exploding a powder bomb. The flamethrower has become easier to manufacture, while the range of destruction has increased. In new tank flamethrowers (for example, the Soviet ATO-41, ATO-42), instead of a powder bomb, a blank shot from a 45-mm cannon was used.
M67 flamethrower tank in Vietnam, 1966 If backpack and tank flamethrowers are primarily used to destroy firing points, as well as openly located enemy personnel, then high-explosive flamethrowers can also be used against tanks.
Rocket flamethrowers The problem with the “classic” flamethrower is the small effective firing range: 50-200 meters. The reasons are as follows: firstly, the combustible mixture ignites at the moment it is released outside. In flight it burns and dissipates. Thus, not all the liquid reaches the target. Secondly, due to technical and physical limitations, it is impossible to increase the operating pressure indefinitely.
In modern RPOs, both incendiary and thermobaric compositions are used as fire mixtures.
No matter what kind of heavy metal your rock band plays, even if you decorate your performance by eating a live bat and urinating on the audience, without homemade jet flamethrowers - fireworks you are unlikely to have a truly colorful and memorable show. Not to mention jet backpack flamethrowers at home, which have been successfully used both to smoke out the Taliban from the Kabul catacombs and to destroy moles and locusts in your summer cottage.
Attention! By making homemade flamethrowers - fireworks, jet backpack flamethrowers and just mini flamethrowers from aerosol cans, you are exposing yourself and the people around you to mortal danger! Do not try to make a flamethrower and a mixture for it at home, transferring production and testing to field conditions and, best of all, in winter, in order to eliminate the slightest risk of fire. Always keep several fire extinguishers on hand! The use of jet flamethrowers - fireworks indoors is prohibited by law and is punishable by the full severity of the criminal code!
How to make a flamethrower with your own hands
Miniature aerosol flamethrower
Making a flamethrower from a water pistol
Now all that remains is to fill the mini flamethrower with a mixture, which will be industrial alcohol, ethyl alcohol (if you don’t mind) or lighter fluid (gasoline or kerosene is also an option, but much more dangerous) and connect a fire initiator to it, for example a candle, like this is shown in the diagram (at a distance of 1 cm below the point where the mixture emerges and 15 cm further from it):
Jet jet backpack flamethrower
The mixture for a flamethrower assembled with your own hands according to the following scheme should only be denatured alcohol, because you don’t want your jet jet backpack flamethrower to turn into a burning torch in the event of an accidental breakdown?
The container for the mixture is a system of non-pressure sewer pipes, sealed in the most careful way:
Into which air and a flamethrower mixture are pumped under pressure (pressure is about 1 atmosphere, the pipes may not withstand more, so for large capacities and ranges it is better to use durable metal cylinders that can withstand high pressures):
The igniter in this case can be either a blowtorch or a propane cylinder, as can be seen from the following diagram:
As a result, our jet backpack flamethrower at home will have approximately the following device:
Impressive? Be careful there, to love the smell of napalm in the morning, you didn’t have to be in prison or in the next world.
But you can spew out such flames with the help of your homemade flamethrower. Video:

Can the gasoline inside the tank ignite?

They'll lie, there won't be enough oxygen for it to burn. Well, of course, you need to make sure that there are no leaks anywhere on the outside, otherwise you’ll end up with such a beautiful torch.

Household mini-flamethrower for true connoisseurs of beauty
Don't have anything to light a fireplace or barbecue with?
In a large group, everyone is smoking at the table, but they’ve run out of matches? There's a huge spider in the bathroom and you're not sure you can handle it with a slipper? Now there is an excellent, stylish, and most importantly comfortable solution for all this! XM42 mini flamethrower, you won't have to worry about such problems anymore!
For just $699+taxes+shipping+beer you will get a stylish device that will help you in difficult times! And by paying $799+taxes+shipping+for beer you can choose the color of your flamethrower or get a stylish “Shark” sticker! Hurry, there are only 31 days until the end of the fundraising! Hmm, but seriously, on March 24, a project for a publicly available hand-held flamethrower was launched on indiegogo, which has already collected 218% of the declared amount: $87,000 instead of the requested $40,000. There are actually 31 days left until the end of the fundraising. By the way, I wasn’t joking about the cost of $699-799, the choice of color and sticker - for an extra hundred you can upgrade your “lighter” car. True, the choice of colors is not large, and there is only one sticker, but first things first. It is not known what motivated the team, consisting of three brave American guys, but they decided to make a portable flamethrower and took it to the crowdfunding site. There are suspicions that they reviewed the first episode of the series “The Last Man on Earth,” where the main character famously has fun with a flamethrower alone in his free time from alcoholism, but the fact remains: in addition to automatic weapons for self-defense, entertainment and household weapons may also appear in the United States flamethrower version. And then the phrase “Let’s rock this party!” sparkled with new colors, didn’t it?
Tuned version with sticker, only $799.
In their campaign on Indiegogo, the guys claim that their device is not some kind of Chinese experiment in crossing a canister and a spray gun, but a full-fledged, working flamethrower, which, however, was not fed much in childhood. Those. Our beauty has everything that its older brothers, the classic jet flamethrowers, have: an incendiary cylinder, a spray tube, a compressed air cylinder and even a handle to make it easier to hold. also a left-handed version!
(I myself am left-handed and therefore I hate this world where everything is done with the right hand).
This is how you will see it when you use it, %%username%%.
And this is how others will see him.
The side handle may not be so simple. Judging by the frames posted online, apart from the power button, there are basically no other buttons on the device, as well as pedals and other levers that give our handsome guy the command “FIRE-EEEE!!!”. Perhaps the flamethrower will be to the liking of motorcyclists, since the guys, apparently, have literally implemented the concept of “Get on the gas” in the flamethrower, because I don’t see any other way to produce a fiery stream other than turning the side handle towards you. Cute. Although I suspect that instead of a cool rotating handle, they attached a button to the top of the near handle. In this case, there will be no magic, which is a pity.
Of course, a warning about the potential danger of the device. Particularly touching: “Never point device at people, animals or anything you don’t wish set on fire”
That is, if you really want to, then you can direct it at people. Everything is fine, it suits us, we buy in bulk.
Of course, children under 18 should not get into the hands of this unit. Although men, and they will be the main consumers, always remain children, so the issue is moot. It is still unclear whether the design of the flamethrower will be as brutal as in the photo above (I mean welding seams) or whether the guys still have a grinding machine. Although if you style the flamethrower as a hand-made post-apocalypse, ala Fallout, then they are even appropriate.
Photos with Instagram filters, for lovers of beauty.
By the way, about beauty. Either the creators are positioning their device as too brutal and unique for vulgar colors, or they are not too far-sighted, but the color range in which you can decorate a flamethrower for an extra $100 is very meager:
There are no most important coloring options for such a device: red, for true pyromaniacs, and pink, because a pink flamethrower is cool, don’t even argue. I don’t understand at all what is the difference between glossy black and matte black when you have a FLAMETHROWER in your hands.
And here is the work schedule for the production of this extremely necessary device for the household:
Regarding the economy. The creators of the flamethrower quite seriously declare rather sad, on the whole, ways of using it:
- Snow removal;
- Burning weeds between paving slabs;
- Controlled burning of last year's grass, weeds, etc.;
- Lighting a fire (ORLY?);
- Insect control (well, at least something, watch out for a spider in the bathroom!);
- Pyrotechnic shows (even better);
- Having fun with friends.
I can already see the faces of my neighbors when I leave my house in the morning and start clearing the snow from the driveway in a similar manner.
The first three points are more like a screen, and the fourth, about bonfires, looks like a mockery of idiots. Having fun with friends is the most likely outcome. If you add fireproof suits to the kit, you can arrange fun fire games, such as tag or duels with flamethrowers, but this is already a dream.
There is not much more or less detailed technical information about the device. The developers honestly admit that their handsome guy is far from the standard 50-200 meters for his older brothers from the military sphere: the jet hits about eight meters.
(on gifs these eight meters look much more impressive than on paper).
The question is, who will look cooler for the same money: a man with an iPhone 6 or a man with a baby flamethrower in his hands? Of course the second!
But there is one catch - what to fill it with? As is usually the case, the guys are going to not only sell the device, but also consumables for it. They offer to buy incendiary mixture for the cylinder in the future in their special store.
I would like to look at the people who will give the world such a cool thing as a compact flamethrower for the price of a smartphone. The full XM42 project team:
I think selling flamethrower fuel in your own store, rather than filling it with gasoline/kerosene or a mixture of both, is the idea of the guy on the right, he looks more like a sales manager than others.
And finally, a promotional video posted by the glorious trio on indiegogo:
Homemade flamethrower for burning garbage and thickets (18 photos)
The author assembled a flamethrower for a school competition, where he won first place. Then it was immediately taken to the museum, so the device was never finalized. The flamethrower is capable of creating a continuous stream of flame 3 meters long. It is convenient for them to burn garbage or thickets.
The only drawback of the device can be considered high fuel consumption. But the flamethrower works with almost any liquid fuel, you can even try to fill it with liquid gas, then it will come out in a liquid state, evaporate and burn.
The homemade product turned out to be quite ergonomic, it is as convenient to use as a chainsaw.
Materials and tools for homemade work: - handle (suitable for a bicycle, trimmer, or you can simply bend a metal pipe); - working fire extinguisher; - a metal clamp (large size, or something similar); — a brake lever from a bicycle with a cable (a clutch handle from a motorcycle will do); - a metal tube (you need to cut it exactly the same thread as the fire extinguisher nozzle); — autogenous lighter (refillable); - plug with nipple for the pump; - wires and tubes from the IV; — spring (needed to return the handle to its original position); - metal mesh (needed to strengthen the structure, as well as a beautiful appearance).
