These are a bit Flash 
FLASH BOTH ENDS (or "Captain Carbide Strikes Again") 
Click HERE to see the thrilling (murky) video from Horton Farm 2008....... That's just like John............Flash both ends (Keith) This is the prototype ingenious back end plug - then a pretty see-through handle was added 
The Flash Both Ends really shows up well in the dark... 
The back end plug really lights up !! John's very first go at making a woodgas stove 
It works! Just click the picture to see it go Now see the stove put to practical use. Really boiling a kettle of water 
This represents the acme of heat science and could be the answer to a lot of thorny problems facing mankind Continuing with the burny theme: 
As you can see, you use the syringe to blast air into the film canister This shoots white spirit out of the nozzle up through a pilot flame My goodness, you get a super flame along with that strange man in his garage 
Click image above to see the movie (4.68MB) (John's neighbours are accustomed to the mad scientist in the garage) The latest version of the blaster uses a 12 volt compressor for bigger & better gouts of flame First Generation Bangas Generator 
Things have moved on: 
10% NaOH, 12V, 7A, 30min = 5.5 litres of BANGAS BUT.... Exhaustive tests have shown that it is a lot easier & quicker to use oxy-acetylene to fill our balloons for the 1812 performance
