Guy Puts Flamethrower on Mobility Scooter: Get outs the Way!

It is called Lord Humungous and it was created by 52-year-old Lance Greathouse from Phoenix, Arizona. “It” is a flamethrower attached to a mobility scooter. Lord Humungous cost about $1000 and a month of labor to create.

This deadly mobility scooter is made out of an electric golf cart, all terrain tires, and a helicopter seat. The flamethrower spits fire almost 10 meters away. It looks like it would fit right in during the apocalypse.

FLAMEnco: The Flame Throwing Guitar

Every guitarist wants a guitar that will set the stage on fire. This is that guitar – literally. Don Juan De Pyro turned his guitar into a flamethrower that initially could shoot multicolored flames up to six feet for about 40 seconds. He calls it the FLAMEnco guitar.

He tinkered with it some more and now it can shoot 18-foot long colored flames. Don uses a new super compact burster system that works with a Mark 3 constant flame system. Mark 1, 2, 3 and 6 can all be controlled remotely off-stage with the help of a RF remote receiver.

I was hoping for a version of Light my Fire in the video, but sadly it didn’t happen. This thing looks great in action – though it’s probably best used only in outdoor venues.

Mosquito Flamethrower is an oldie but goodie

You would say that mosquitoes are the bane of many a camper, as these bloodsucking insects do not let up in their attack and efforts at extracting blood from you. There has been many solutions thought up in the past, but the Mosquito Flamethrower that you see here is certainly one that would reek of overkill. Johannes Vogl is the one behind the idea of the Mosquito Flamethrower, and I would say that pyromaniacs should steer clear of this as it does have the potential of creating more harm and chaos compared to a regular mosquito killer that these days, come in the form of a battery-powered racquet which zaps those nasty insects.

The Mosquito Flamethrower is not said to be new as it was released a fair number of years ago, but thanks to the BugASalt, you can say that the Mosquito Flamethrower has garnered its fair share of interest. Not the kind of equipment you would use if you want your mosquitos to suffer in their death throes, as it seems to be too hot for them to register anything as they turn into ash.
