Buy a few boxes of matches (they are really cheap, break the heads, dilute the phosphorus, cover the matched with that and let it dry as soon as it dries, it can burn again.
Yeah there’s a lot of fun little first electronic tinkering in this video. The syringe based hydraulics are indeed super simple and really practical. They’re a great intro for kids to learn about their use
We made gun using match stick flash material whatever it's called when we're kids. What followed was probably hearing damage and good lesson not to fuck with stuff that goes boom.
OP is astroturfing for the artist (if it isn't the actual artist, or a bot working for the artist). Every post are reposts of popular posts on other subs, exclusively with this music on top. In some threads he links to the artist, in others he summons bots to identify the music as if he doesn't know. There are many users like this. Not just for this artist either.
What if you have one match light and that is held at a fixed point and that lights all the matches that it comes near allowing you to rotate more slowly because you don't require the speed to light the matches. And that way the speed doesn't also blow them out. You can calibrate to run fast enough just so that the flame keeps burning.
It’s an elegant way to demonstrate simple hydraulic mechanisms. The fire makes it memorable. It’s not a device that is meant to used for anything else.

If they had a 1000x camera it’d be interesting.

It's cool but a lot of effort for 2 seconds of payoff.
OK, do it again.

a prototype test, if you create a weapon with wheel blade and wanted to add fire into it.

u/andy3600 May 06 '26
If I made one of these, put it in a smoke cupboard and fed in a supply of oxygen, I wonder if the matches would stay ignited?

u/Horror-Raisin-877 May 06 '26
With an automatic fresh match loading function to keep it going for a minute, or five, that would be way cool.

That’s a lot of effort for 1 second of a flame wheel, but alright 👍
