  • @jack9102 - Diesel only burns under pressure

  • you cant use fuels like gasoline. it has to be a slow burning fuel, which makes alchohol the perfect candidate. on a larger, regular pulse jet gasoline can be used. in this though, no

  • @CHELSEAFAN134 and dangerous too.

  • @XLosSantosX dont know yet :D

  • @snk9045 no not N2O, nitromethane is r/c car fuel. aka glo-fuel. and i tried gas and diesel, gas just goes woof and does nothing, but im still unsure of diesel...

  • at first throught. you sounded like the dude from metal gear solid. Otacon!

  • How did you do it?Instructional vid. please!

  • @jack9102 I can use just diesel and it works?? Goes it long with diesel?

  • @jack9102 well alcohol works, i dont know about nos, Gas a diesel will make a fire in the can but not make the result u wanted.

  • ya i caught my arm on fire doing that...

    no burns tho-the fuel burned on my arm for about 30 seconds then flashed out...

  • o FYI, a good fuel to use is that traxxas nitro for rc cars...i used it and it worked really well, just make sure the engine is OUT before using it or else youll have a nasty little explosion to deal with...

  • the bottom falls of ay. that hapens to mine the botom gets a crack all the way round and it falls of

  • the foil doesnt really do anything

    if you want a heat spreader

    take one of those copper cpu coolers

  • put the jar in all the way under water then hold it down with glue or blue tac and then freeze it and it will last till the ice melts (5 minuets)

  • wow nice, never saw one last that long glass wise. fyi ive done this many times and it never explodes, the glass jar usually just falls apart haha

  • The foil heat spreader is a good idea, perhaps helping it to run for so long.

  • omg that work so good!

  • I used a few ounces of Heet - it's a automotive fuel additive. There is cheaper stuff available, but this was handy for me.

  • wot fuels r best to use? i tried turps...didnt work lolz

  • wow this is really neat...must try at some point

  • wow a 1.27min fart generating device

  • Works better with unleaded gasoline. Use a bit more for a longer burn time.

  • lol

    i didnt get it at first!lol

    but now i do!
