Mobile Flamethrower
John Mahoney
This mobile flame thrower rig built by the folks at Great House Labs definitely takes the award for the most lethal project we saw. Built up from a modified golf cart, this mobile roaster can shoot 30-foot jets of fire propelled via pressurized propane. Here we see it in "anti-low-flying-bird" configuration.
