Here’s a set of DIY Flamethrower gloves that even Ryu and Ken (from Street Fighter) would be proud. These are better than single flamethrowing gloves we’ve seen in the past.
These DIY flamethrowers shoot flame out from the palms, making it perfect for throwing fireballs at your opponent. Of course, ju
Using mostly household materials such as pennies and vinegar, this hacker shows you how to make glow-in-the-dark powder and documents the whole process on YouTube (see below).
Jeri shows how to make ZnS:CU glow powder at home with household chemicals. Reaction 1: Flowers of sulfur(sublimated sulfur) + Zn + Cu(penny from 1982 or newer) Reaction 2: Thiourea(Tarn-x) + Zinc Acetate(pennies dissolved in vinegar)
For those of you wondering what to do with your broken IKEA furniture (I’ve spent $500 on IKEA coffee tables, all of them broke within 6 months, never buying coffee tables from IKEA again.), you might just want to keep them around in case you need to make some fire with it.
Of course, this probably applies to any type of furniture or wood.
For those of you who want to explore the world of making your own rocket launchers with a digital controller, you might want to take a look here where the author makes a simple rocket launcher using Arduino. This could also be great for fireworks controllers. And yeah, did you hear? Several people lost their limbs during July 4th Independence Day, this is why someone needs to start selling digital controllers perhaps made out of Arduino.
If you are into pyro tech and if you need some inspiration for a DIY fireworks control system, take a look at this guy’s awesome fireworks control box mod.
just finished building the main unit. It has a 144 cue capability; there are 48 on the main unit. I will have 4 slats with 24 cues each and 25-foot slat cables. I have tested the system and it fires commercial e-matches with no problem. I have not tested it with wire wrapped fuse yet but I do not think that I will have

Check out this awesome hack that involves a handheld flame thrower. There’s some schematics and build details here. The X-men-like handheld flame thrower uses hand gestures to control the amount of flame you want. I think this is way cool that you can build such a dangerous device but just make sure if you are going to build one, you know exactly what you are doing as even small mistakes could possibly burn your hand off. (so have a fire extinguisher
As an immigrant who couldn’t speak English when I first came to America at the age of 9, I would keep myself busy by building things like Thermite, which is basically mixture of rust and aluminum. Thermite is a great detonator for various bombs like TNT and whatnot, also used as emergency flashing guns.
Anyways, enough about me making thermite as a 9 year old, that was just plain, great chemistry fun, glad I didn’t lose an arm or leg during the process. This can be great for removing rust

If you have a LOT of time to kill, you might be interested to learn that you can make your own Poor Man’s liquid hydrogen using dry ice.
If you lack access to Liquid Nitrogen, then you can’t break a frozen flower or make wind chimes from strips of lead sheet. You can’t make LEDs glow super-bright. You can’t even shatter a rubber band. But what if you could make your own “LN2” from easily available materials?
Lol, check out this cool DIY electric candle! I think it’s a great idea to have a switch, you won’t need a lighter to start this one in emergency situations.
