MY INVENTIONS

[Phemar]

Sounds like a good puzzle for an adventure game.

Hehe it actually is a puzzle in my (forever) upcoming game, Flaccid Carnage!

[Squinky]

Uhm a little point for people worrying about there being enough oxygen to ignite the fuel.

Please don't tell me you want the fuel to ignite inside the gun. The fuel is supposed to ignite AFTER it leaves gun ie. outside where there is plenty of oxygen to help ignition.

That is all. You may continue.

I think the point of what people were saying is that if there was oxygen in the tank, combined with the very real danger of flame reaching the inner tank, you could possibly create a small explosion due to the compressed gas suddenly igniting. Super Soakers aren't industrial strength flame throwing machines, and they are meant to expel water, so there is a good chance that the fire can quickly travel up the fuel and reach the tank.

A good example of this for me would be this:
A few years (10 or so) I was burning wood in a fireplace for heat. I had gone and cut a bunch of lumber and had bark all over my yard as a side effect. I tryed burning the bark in a barrel, but it wouldn't stay lit so I put some diesel fuel on it, all was good. Then I ran out and decided to try gas. It was some old gas I kept around for a weedwacker so it was a good mix of oil and gas. I would chuck it on the fire in quick little tosses, because the flames would chase up the fuel towards me if I didn't. In the end I ended up with a burning gas can, because of how quickly it ran up the fumes.

When I was in Jr. High some kid in the class one year back poured a bunch a gasoline on a piece of card board and lit it.  He ended up buring off his eye brows and comming to school looking funnier than hell and earned the nick name Ding-a-Ling which for all of you forigners pretty much means "retarded bastard".

When I was much older I worked on truck scales for awhile.  There was a truck stop in Pensylvania where our company had a coin operated scale which we serviced from time to time.  Across the road there was a little was a little truck mechanics shop with which we had some dealings.  It was owned by an individual who did most of the work.   On one aocassion when a colleague and my self were assigned to go there to work on our scale we noticed that the shop was burned down to the ground.  We inquired about it and were told that the owner was asked to repair a stainless steel gassoline tanker.   Apparently he had asked the drive to empty the tank before he did any welding.   Ufortunately the tank was full of gasoline and air mixture.  Shortly after the wekding began the tank exploded and engulfed the little shop in flames.  The owner who was doing the welding sustained 3rd degree burns over 90% of his body but managed to survive for about a week before he died from his injuries.

You can keep playing with your super soaker and gasoline if you want but if you manage to burn yourself up I hope they put the word "Dumbuass" on your epitaph.

im am 15 and i (theoretycly)know more about than you. flame gant get in the supersoaker.
look zor?s picture if you get the idea of invention you see flame isnt stuck to plastik but satrts till mach.
if you fire supersoaker, first gas isnt going in line(DONT YOU LOOK MYTHBUSTERS, THATS WHY YOU DONT DIE WHILE PEEING ON 3-rd RAIL)(anyway its not from mythbusters-(following))-its going in pieces-in the end ang going with that kind of speed flame cant climb up cause gun spits it out. yes if you pore some gas from gup to fire cup wil start burning. cause it makes a constant line.
also it cant  ignite the tank cause it doesnt have any air in "hoses". for and example. if i shoot a bit(till tank is almost emty) it shoots a gas pufs, that burn fast   and near. caue it comes out firh pressure its impossible to explode it "in-tank".
so-gas comes to quick for gas to climb eaven to the head of gun.-ive never managed to burn my gun so how tha F im gona  make it explode?

anyway 1-st one who gets to explode his supersoaker, gets/earns my respect.

You call yourself a genius, but you dont sound too smart... You are right, the flame would have a hard time getting into the soaker. But, most supersoakers, usually leak. And if the gasoline is leaking all over, for example, your arm, without you noticing it, you could easily get some 2rd and 3rd degree burns. And if the flame reaches the gasoline soaked super soaker, it could easily blow up, if the plastic melts, because of the pressurized gasoline inside.

EDIT: Touchè

[Pesty]

You shouldn't use the word theoretically if you can't spell it correctly.

I'm not going to get into it, let me just say don't say we didn't warn you when you're set aflame and you blow your living room up.

For some reason after reading this, I thought of you yelling "Hey, you damn kids get off my lawn!" Heh...

Come on guys, let the kid have some fun, the hell with reason or the instinctaul desire to continue living unmaimed...

Haha..The same thing happened to me! Ran out of diesel, so decided to use some petrol. This was INSIDE my house, so the effects were a bit louder. I got treated to a nice BOOOM, fortunately I was not otherwise affected.

It's not the fact that he has fun with fire that bothers me. What bothers me is that he is claiming the title of the brightest 15 year old on earth, when he obviously is not.

[RickJ]

I just nominated Uku for a Darwin Award.  Here is the text of my nomination.  I don't know what they will do with it but I'm sure Uku is bound for infamy.

Dear Wendy,

I would like to nominate a 15 year old male from Estonia, I only know as Uku for a future Darwin Award.  He hasn't managed to die yet but I think it's a pretty safe bet he's not going to collect an old age pension.   

Let's just listen to his own words he published on AdventureGameStudio's forum recently:

"I made myself a flame thrower.  I have flamed around my house for 2 weeks now and I think I will share my invention with you guys.

Take a supersoaker water gun(or any watergun, thats need to be pumped to shoot) then put gasoline instead of water in tank nad make a litle hole in front using drill or nails. Into this hole glue some wire and to the other rend of wire put a pice of cloth thats soaked in gas. pump some pressure into your tank, ignite cloth and shoot."

In response to many warnings about the obvious danger Uku says:

"Dont worry,
I AM NOT AN IDIOT(we`ll argue about that Tongue), AND I AM LIKE (not realy just like) PROFFESIONAL(i have messed with KNO3,C,S mix=Black powder for 5 years(got ingredients in 2000). bla-bla-blaa.I have foo... experimented with every kind of sh..things that burn faster than mach for 6 years, so i do know what do do and what do not do do(ARGH soo much do-s).I AM SMART ENOUGH TO NOT ROLL IN GAS AND JUNP OWER FIRE. SO STOP MAKNG FUN OVER ME!!!! (you may if you are proffesional pyrotechic)
though is thread is not for humiliating me. this is for peapole who are interested in like these kind of things."

I know that Darwain awards are usually given posthumously but I don't think there is any doubt that this guy will ever live long enough to procreate.  For this reason I would like to nominate him to recieve a Darwin Award even though he has not yet departed this world.

If you would like more information the original forum post is here:

or you could ask Uku directly at his emial adress here: uks12@hot.ee

Best regards

Uku, this is a motherly figure speaking, and as young as I am I might as bloody well be that given your ridiculously low age in this matter.

Stop fucking around with fire and get back to school!!

I don't care how clever you think you are, you're FIFTEEN YEARS OLD! You've barely graced double digits and no matter how much you claim to be a professional, you're FIFTEEN YEARS OLD so I very much doubt you have any qualifications whatsoever to deal with fire and explosives. The very fact you wrote about your little "experiment" on a forum saying "Here's how you too can do this amazing feat with a children's toy water gun!" is completely and utterly unprofessional in itself. In fact, it's nothing but bloody fucking stupid.

You are not a professional, you are a 15 year old cocky-ass boy who probably gets decent grades in science class (I assume you can manage to put a sentence together in your native language) and thinks he knows everything. You can't just go around saying that the Myth Busters would back you up here. You know what they'd say to you? Nothing. They'd call you mother up and say, "Jesus christ, do you have any idea what sort of dangerous crap your son is up to?". They'd be horrified. They would not think you were cool at all. On that matter, do you have any idea how qualified those guys are? Insanely. They are insanely qualified professionals who know in immense amount about just about everything, and yet they -still- get injured and put themselves at serious risk of death sometimes when their experiments don't go according to plan, or when they get too cocky themselves.

They always have people there ready to help them with med-kits if need be. They always have people to drive them to the hospital and above all, they would never, EVER be so stupid as to put gasoline in a freaking childrens toy and run around igniting it without insane amounts of protection.

You are a stupid child and you need to grow up. If you have an interest in fire, go study and do these experiments the proper way, in uni, after your professor okays it as the topic for your next assignment. You tell me when that happens, because I'd love to see anyone allow such a stupid thing to be done, especially by someone who would be as irresponsible as to post the methods to these things on an internet forum for adventure game makers.

Get to bed.

EDIT: Rick - nice ^_^ *high five!*

[m0ds]

Rick!!! Hahaha!! Thats extremely funny Hope he gets it!

[Domino]

I hope you're not planning on learning to fly next.

I also saw on a web site where a couple of guys made a flame thrower with a supersoaker, but i think they used rubbing alcohol instead. Does rubbing alcohol even burn when mixed with a flame? On the bottles of rubbing alcohol we use at work, it does say it is flammable. Try it, and let us know.

[tc]

Rick!!! Hahaha!! Thats extremely funny Hope he gets it!

you hope he dies?

[Traveler]

I'm am 15 and i (theoretycly)know more about than you. flame gant get in the supersoaker.
look zor?s picture if you get the idea of invention you see flame isnt stuck to plastik but satrts till mach.
if you fire supersoaker, first gas isnt going in line(DONT YOU LOOK MYTHBUSTERS, THATS WHY YOU DONT DIE WHILE PEEING ON 3-rd RAIL)

You're really smart, Uku! Don't let us stupid unbelievers make you think otherwise. Playing with fire and gas is the way to go, no matter what the people on these forums say. After all, we only make computer games, what could we possibly know that you don't? You're 15, after all.

Just make sure that you say good-bye to your parents and friends before you try your little flamethrower next time.

[Uku]

seems like peapoles arent that different-(first i tought otherways) its so one person have to say something and then everyone gets their courage and starts to foolin aroud too-to seem Cool in front of first-dump-post-makers eyes.


...nd i (theoretycly)know more about than you. flame-my  writeing mistake it was mentioned to be a ? qestion

vict0r-bad supersoakers they sell there, none of mine or my friends leak.
you should be an extra fool if you am trying to pump pressure into leaking supersoaker-if you have leaking gun, dont use it as flamethrower.
Persty-im doing it outside and oh my english is bad. lets see how good you write if you have learned 4 years Estonian.
vict0r(again)-did i saiyd im a genious or brightest kid in world-NO.-donyt make oviousy fool conclusions.
oh rickyJ-you are :"igavene sitapea ja sitanikerdis, ennekõige haige AJUKÃ,,BUS, KES IGAST ASJAST SUURE NUMBRI TEEB!" .i think im gonna nominate you to there as biggest grammaticaster in universe.(m0ds il ad you into to as his biggest suporter and magnager/fan/sidekick)
kinoko(or what ever i dont actualy care)-i sit 37 hour in school in week(syster in gymnasyum 4 hours more-just sayd she have same amout lessons as I)-ive ever sayd im a proffesional?!i sayd im LIKE proffesional (i have yust a car like that at home(points to ferrary)but olny dirrerent)-and if you have too samll brain dont try to do theese things.
domino-where do i get alcohol? im 15 you have to be 18 to buy it. and i think you are flying before me(not a threat)
Traveler-human who is open-minded.seems there are some protsent in world that doesnt think like those above.-you have all my respect and gratitude for cheering me up while making this post.im gona do what you suggested.(ignore them)-oh but i wont say good-bye before i go, ill sey see-ya-later.

[Kinoko]

I can't read that shit. (Is there a Babelfish for this sort of thing?)

[vict0r]

I doubt you can translate from gibberish.

[Nacho]

I can't read that shit. (Is there a Babelfish for this sort of thing?)

Nah... Babelfish does not translate Ferrari into Ferrary...

[SSH]

Kinoko, it roughtly translates as:

You only mock me becuase someone else mocked me first.

The previous thing where I said I know more than you was actually a question.

victor: you must have a bad supersoaker becuase mine doesn't leak, I advise not usinging leaking supersoakers as a flamethrower. Also, I am not a genius.

Pesty: I use my flamethrower outside and it's OK for me to write unintelligible gibberish becuase you haven't learned any Estonian.

RickJ and m0ds: You are pedantic

kinoko (or whatever your name is despite this being actually spelled correctly): I am a schoolkid and my sister studies more than me, so I am not professional, but I have a large enough brain to be able to make flamethrowers. I also have a Ferrari car at home.

Domino: Where can I get alchohol when I am underage? I am not going to learn to fly.

Traveler: I am unable to appreciate irony.
