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.
