With regular household objects.

Ingredients:

1 600ml coke bottle (or whatever's handy)
1 bottle top for said bottle, complete with hole made by Bradawl
Several Aerosols - Deodorants, hairspray etc.
Lighter

Heres what you do:

Spray lots of deodorant into the bottle and screw on the top.
Cover hole on the top with your finger and shake vigouously.
Have lighter ready to go.
Take away finger and light the lighter in front of the bottle-top
Squeez the bottle applying proper pressure to give different concentrations of flames

And there you go!!

note: this is safer than an aerosol alone, and gives more of a blowtorch effect.

It doesn't happen because there isn't enough oxygen in the small bottle to let this occur. It is why we didn't use a 2 litre bottle.

As kids we never held down too long with the old Lynx and lighter trick. We knew the flame could go back into the can and take our hand off.

The intense heat would melt the bottle rim with it being plastic. Also a backdraught could ignite the deoderant in the bottle and cause an explosing which consequently could result in loss of limbs.

Next week, home made napalm using just salad cream and baking soda....
