Wrist-Mounted Flamethrower Straight Outta X-Men
It’s a common misconception that X-Men villain Pyro can actually shoot fire out of his hands. In reality, he has to wear a suit with a built-in flamethrower, because his only superpower is the ability to control the intensity of the flame. Hoping to re-create Pyro’s fire-spewing abilities, mechanical engineer Everett Bradford has created The Pyro System. The 20 year old senior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute created this wrist-mounted flamethrower for his final project. In a series of videos, Bradford demonstrates his invention and breaks down exactly how it was made. Flame on after the jump.

That system is awesome, would you be interested in making one to sell? But with increased power, and it would have to be more effiecient. If so, please make a return comment, i wont be able to give my email address. Leave the comment under one of the videos that youve made on youtube. The above email address is false.
