Flaming Rat Part II

[ACD]

My friend has made some "improvements" the flaming rat. He has named it Salamander. This was it before:

I took the Escaped Convict over and showed it off. It's riding fine now.

Here's the improved Flaming Rat:

It's plumbing:

Me riding it for Kingpins benefit:

And what it does.....

Seriously this thing makes a WWII flame thrower look like a bic lighter. We measured bursts in excess of 60 ft off the back. No that's not gasoline. It burns out immediately after the handle is released. Safe? Absolutely not, but I must give him credit it worked exactly like he said it would. He put a sticker between the nozzles on the rear fender and not only is it not melted but has no soot on it either. Weird.

Can you explain the plumbing. What is the fire extenstinger for/ what is in it. Is it remotely lit?

Cool bike as it is and wicked with the pyro addition.

I'll try....

Look carefully at this pic of the nozzles out back.

Made from steel brakelines there are two on each side. The round bottom ones are the pilot lights. Theya are fed by the green camp stove bottle. Intensity of pilot flame is adjusted by the valve on the bottle just like a propane torch. The upper tubes are crimped to create a fan pattern. These are fed by the rechargeable extinguisher. The extinguisher contains Coleman Fuel and is charged with an air compressor. You remove the valve from the extinguiser, fill with a gallon of fuel via funnel, replace valve, and charge with a compressor. Light the pilot with an oxy-acetyln sparker... stand back and yank the valve sticking up through the top tube. Voila... instant Bar-B-Que'd biker. And to think I told him I like him too much to risk him getting hurt and to put bubble soap in it.

Just one thing... Why? It's way cool. But why. Just because?

MMMMMMMMMM.........

Wait.....I am guessing the wife won't like that technique. She freaked when we charged the beer keg with the air comp. after the CO2 ran out.

 

[Schwinnspastic]

Wow :shock: compressing flamables sounds like a bomb in the waiting 8)

 

[RatFink]

How about riding while flaming picture?

 

[tikiharl]

WOW, Please be careful, we like you,lol :shock:

That is so cool and well engineered! Truth be told, unless it were to somehow back fire it should be R-E-L-A-T-I-V-E-L-Y safe :lol: :roll: Hmmm where is My Mini Twinn frame???? 8) I like marshmallows slighty toasted!

 

[JIMBO420]

THAT IS ONE OF THE COOOOOLLLLLEEEESSSSSTTTTTT THINGS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!! :shock: :idea: :mrgreen:

 

[xddorox]

That would be great to have for cars and trucks to back off in traffic. :mrgreen:
It doesn't have to make sense, it's crazy and cool. That's all that matters.

I have that ability with my bike as well, all it takes is some mexican food and a bic lighter.
