Since there have been so many follow-ups to my original posting asking for ideas on how to construct destructive devices, I thought I should reveal how to make an instant flame thrower. Get a small plastic soft-drink bottle and make a hole in the lid. Put some lighter fluid in the bottom, Use only a small amount for safety :-) Screw the lid back on and inject some butane into the bottle throght the hole in the lid. You then light the butane coming out of the hole, and move to the designated target area. In one swift motion, tilt the bottle downwards and squeeze. The lighter fluid will be squirted out of the hole and be ignited. The result is a spectacular ball of flame that will very likely ignite anything in its path. -Mark P.S. For those who don't know, there is a pyrotech mailing list. The address is "pyrotech@gorn.santa-cruz.ca.us". Mail "pyrotech-request@gorn.santa-cruz.ca.us" to be added to the list.
