00:00:09around get them ready because we’re
00:00:11going to use them for some mini
00:00:12pyrotechnic entertainment
00:00:15[Music]
00:00:29for this project I’m using these cheap
00:00:31butane lighters I found in a dollar
00:00:33store three for a buck
00:00:34I’ll get those out of the package and
00:00:36then volunteer this green one for
00:00:38disassembly a pair of needlenose pliers
00:00:40is great for removing the valve guard
00:00:42and that will give me access to the
00:00:43tensioner that tightens and loosens the
00:00:45valve by manipulating the valve
00:00:47counterclockwise and much further than
00:00:49it was ever intended I can turn this
00:00:51little lighter into a mini flamethrower
00:00:53this is because a significant amount of
00:00:55gas is being released now which is
00:00:57obvious because of the 12-inch flames
00:00:59shooting out that’s a foot long flame
00:01:01but be careful because your lighter
00:01:02might catch on fire and then what are
00:01:04you going to do all right to make a
00:01:06flint bomb I’ll use my pliers to
00:01:07carefully remove the striker wheel from
00:01:09the two plastic tabs there’s a
00:01:10spring-loaded piece of Flint behind the
00:01:12wheel so I’ll make sure not to lose it
00:01:14when it comes flying out I just need the
00:01:16spring and the piece of flint and when
00:01:17I’m ready I can stretch one end of the
00:01:19spring to make a gap large enough to
00:01:21insert the Flint wrapping the spring
00:01:23around a couple of times ensures the
00:01:24Flint is held in place and it should
00:01:26look something like this
00:01:27time to light it up for convenience I’m
00:01:30using a candle flame so that I have both
00:01:31hands-free to energize the Flint it
00:01:33takes about 25 seconds to see any result
00:01:36but I do see it starting to glow orange
00:01:38and when it starts glowing this brightly
00:01:40it’s ready for action just throw it on a
00:01:42hard surface and whammo you’ve got a
00:01:44little mini firework I’m not happy about
00:01:46how that squirts my patio though so I’m
00:01:48using a concrete tile as my new target
00:01:50this time I’ll try using another lighter
00:01:53to heat this piece of Flint and I’m
00:01:54trying to keep it in the orange part of
00:01:56the flame because that’s where it’s the
00:01:57hottest when it’s glowing bright orange
00:01:59I’ve got about five seconds to throw it
00:02:01and get the shower of sparks I’m looking
00:02:03for waiting any longer than that could
00:02:05make it self destruct before getting it
00:02:06out of your hands and this premature
00:02:08spark ulation results in another scorch
00:02:11mark on my patio I tried this at night
00:02:13and got some very impressive results I
00:02:15did some tests on the street and that
00:02:17made for a cool-looking firework effect
00:02:18the sparks burn hot and look awesome and
00:02:21it’s amazing to see how much light these
00:02:23flash off all my Flint is used up now
00:02:25but I still have these lighter bodies
00:02:27packed full of liquid butane and I’m
00:02:29sure there’s something I can use them
00:02:30for
00:02:32somehow this feels like it could be a
00:02:33really dangerous idea luckily it’s just
00:02:35sprung a leak and turned into a dual
00:02:37flamethrower but if I smash another one
00:02:39down beside it I get more of the fire
00:02:41show I was hoping for I’m going to stand
00:02:43far away for this one because when the
00:02:45flame burns through the red casing it
00:02:47demonstrates an amazing flaming fireball
00:02:49well that was impressive
00:02:50as long as you have enough lighters you
00:02:52can make a mini firework show that will
00:02:54look like this or this and this how
00:02:57about this this and that it only cost me
00:03:0133 cents to do this flame flash and boom
00:03:04well that was a fun project but very
00:03:07dangerous as well so use extreme caution
00:03:09if you decide to try this for yourself
00:03:11or someone could get hurt that’s it for
00:03:13now if you liked this project perhaps
00:03:15you’ll like some of my others check them
00:03:17out at the king of random calm
