Inexpensive nozzle that picks up liquid and atomizes it

No - but have you seen the mushroom clouds you can make with a flour / sawdust cannon & an ignition source. Check out mythbusters.

That's much scarier than I would like to do with the kids around.

The police is only a mile away from me.

But it is totally awesome. Check this one out:

How about:

Is this such a good idea, parentally, Ig? While a single session might be fun and instructional, excesses can potentially breed firebugs.

You could always meter the fuel supply with an orifice in the tube.

P.S: The old can of hairspray is always dangerous and fun. I've never seen one blow, but the possibility exists. I sure wouldn't want to be around it when it went.

P.P.S: Got good insurance?

awesome. spray fuel all over the place (and kids) and get "little fireballs".

We used to do this with cans of Right Guard deodorant when I was in a dorm back in college. We stopped when a chem major told us that one of the combustion byproducts was phosgene(sp?) a very potent nerve gas. I'm not sure if hairspray also generates it. Art

I don't think so - there's no oxygen in the can. And the exit velocity of the hairspray is much higher than that of the flame front. Bob

Don't do this. If you do, you take full responsibility for any injury or death to your and/or your kids, and any fires that may burn down your house.

If you insist on doing it, you can just use a tube dipped into the liquid, and blow the air gun over the top of it, sucking up the fuel by the Venturi effect. You could probably slap together some kluge for this in a few minutes in your shop.

Have Fun! Rich

I am not too worried about the kids. They will be standing behind at a fair distance etc. Of all things, diesel fuel is a relatively safe substance.

When I was a kid we had 3000 gal tanks of av gas and car gas. One of my favorite tricks was to light a regular food can full of gas out in the oyster shell apron where the crop dusters turned around, then shoot it in the bottom with a .22. Similar results to the youtube bit if you hit it in the center bottom.

It took my kids many years to figure out why I always was one step ahead of their pranks.

Now imagine the fun of hitting the 3000 gallon tank with a 122 mm mortar.

Ack

these are complete junk.

I expect you could get interesting results feeding diesel fuel through your heated pressure washer...

Even an 80 mike mike is fun

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement, reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"

Any of the ones using R-12 as the propellant would generate phosgene. Most newer items use propane, R134A or CO2 as the propellant.

There are air powered venturi action siphon units. They are basically a blow gun head with a venturi on the front and a liquid siphon tube.

the newer version. The ones I have look more like a standard blow gun with a machined venturi tip and hose barb.

Nice video! Thanks

A full disposable gas cylinder goes nicely in a camp fire, just check for trees above and set up a 20m exclusion zone.

A research place I used to work had an annual weekend away. The highlights were burning magnesium gear casings and setting a fire under 44 gallon drums of waste gasoline.

Let the Record show that Gunner Asch on or about Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:27:12 -0700 did write/type or cause to appear in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:

"Empty" cans make a nice "boom" when tossed into a fire in the dump. (Pile of asphalt shingles, wasn't blazing, just "coals")

Ah, the good old days, when it was the township dump. Before it became a solid waste disposal site. Used to go rummaging round for "stuff".

Stepped on the same nail, twice. Fun times.
