Keep more than 2 inches away, or it's "Fire in the Hole"! :)

    ...but they spend it in creative and productive ways!

    Your local OSHA rep would be pleased!

    And I dare say half of that time is spent putting out fires :lol:

    I'm afraid to ask what's in that can or how it seems to spontaneously combust.

    Very nice rig for attaching to the 'can of combustibles'! Does that have some kind of igniter built in? All in all, a pyromaniac's dream!

    ...ahhh - you brought a smile to my face Sir Erco!

    It may be my old ears, but what is being said by the thrower of flames?

    It says "distance is 6 inches... distance is 3 inches... distance is 2 inches... fire in the hole!"

    Erco,

    Can you give some information about the mechanism that presses the spray bottle?
    Is it made by you or you bought it?
    I’m interesting in a similar mechanism to manipulate spray bottles with color in order to make a painter mechanism for a ground robot.

    If you just want to spray, easiest way is a servo with a spiral servo horn. Since Ellinika is spoken here, let's call it an Archimedes spiral. And you can leave off the κερί . :)

    There are so called "automatic dispensers" for household fragnance, so you can get spray bottle press mechamism from there.

    Yes you have right,

    I realized that I've already had one small fragrance mechanism in my bathroom but the spray bottle is very small.

    I must find a bigger mechanism
    I also remembered a spray mechanism from this project (Prospero, from David Dorhout). I think that it goes better with my needs........

    especially the pliant pipe that canalizes the color from the bottle to the ground.....

    I'm also thinking that I need something to agitate the spray bottle and the color. Any Ideas?
