I agree, that was magnificent how far the flame went out. And maybe you could try it with different colors! Copper's color is neat because it's a blue ish green.

I know it looks cool (Cu=green, Li=red, K=yellowish red), but the fuel being burned is of-the-shelf carburator cleaner. If I could find 50% methanol / 50% CuCl in a 12oz aerosol can, I would love to try it. But untill then...

holy crap dude dude! this is really impressive! you should make a shell that you can put on top of it, with holes for the antenna and where the fire sprays  out! and also im impressed by how far the flame goes! VERY nice work.

thank you! there were two "nelson" models before this one, and i used those to see what i liked and what i didn't. nelson iii has the features i liked, while fixing the problems i didn't like.
