That's pretty gnarly.

Hmmm, Halloween is only for a short period each year and it seems such a waste of a fantastic looking device.

 

Could this invention be

a) used as part of a home security system,
b) rigged to motion sensors and used to scare/toast passing cats, deer, children,
c) used as an automated grilling machine, or
d) all of the above

Disclaimer. As a responsible citizen I must point out that I do not approve of setting fire to defenceless critters. Although, cats, deer, children and burglars are fair game

What an excellent idea!!!

I have long claimed that floodlights (and plenty of them) are a good deterrent to crime at night. But a 30 foot column of fire... that would scare the bee-geebees out of anyone. Maybe... I'd better check with my [home owners] insurance agent before I ask for directions on making one.

Tell me Knight, did you have to get any type of Federal Agency approval/licensing (NRC, Homeland, FAA, FEMA, etc) before "going hot"?

I checked with the dept. of "don't ask".
