<div align="center">HOWDY MINI COMBUSTION

well i was bored today so i took apart my micro torch (it was broken). so i put a pen tube barrel on a highlighter and hooked up the air mixing butane torch tip for fule injection like a high brid and a piesio. all i have to do is push down the lever on the lighter and then push dwon the piesio. simple and it works. tell me what you think.

here is a video of it in action> http://www.spudfiles.com/forums/album_s ... ?pic_id=63

He just hooked a hose from his lighter nozzle to the chamber. Then just put a peizo clicker on it. Same concept as a propane injected gun just on a lot smaller scale and a different fuel. The rest you should be able to figure out from other mini gun posts.

Toza... there are fairly detailed descriptions of how to make one, already on this site. Stop cluttering up the forums, and wasting MY time answearing you! If you require a movie to show you how to make one, then you are the type of person I don't really trust [not to hurt themselves] with even a pill-bottle gun.

First off, im assuming your piezo has two wires, (some come with one and require you to add the second) and You used screws. Make sure the screws are close enough so it sparks(the ends inside the chamber).
