Flamethrower Usage at the DZ

Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossilbe before they were done.

Where are we going and why are we in this basket?

I was thinking arcing trajectories, colorants in the napalm, multiple nozzles, timed/pulsed burns, etc.
Real gnarly entrance and exit gates or courses... think pro wrestling.

Get a small high pressure oxygen bottle filled with argon or nitrogen, with a regulator. Feed it to the stainless tanks you mentioned earlier, and partway down a metal tube install a brass ball valve. The ignition could be an ignition coil from a motorcycle, and a small 12v battery, with a push button to ground the coil and make the arc. I wouldn't use styrofoam, rather oil or soap. styrofoam makes it very gummy, not going to flow well out a nozzle. You want it to burn as slow as possible, while being as thin as possible.

I already have the Nitrogen tank and valves as well as a button for the ignitor and all essential wiring.

I am using a ruck frame and stainless custom hoses made to withstand far more pressure than will ever be used.

I have a small battery and a capacitor so I can get the hot spark needed.

I am going to use Napalm B, in the right consistency it flows nicely as it has more viscosity affording higher pressure to spray it further.
