He did mention torching people
yes you could, but realize that it is the vapors, not the liquid that is flammable in many cases. you'll wind up blowing yourself up as the vapor collects around you, and eats away at the plastic.

Yeah, because there certainly wouldn't be any heat output 2-3 inches away from the point of flame.
You can test this theory. Try turning your stove on and place your face 2-3 inches from the burner.
Sorry guys, I was out of state and didn't get back till now.
I do know if you take a pressure washer and make a laminar flow nozzle for it, it scares the poop right outta your neighbors when you test it at 3am with a mix of gas and diesel. Seems instant daylight in their bedroom made them nervous, course I was QUITE a distance away and shielded from the infared heat (Which was MUCH more intense than I ever expected. Nomex didn't do squat.)
BTW, gasoline vapor + compressed air = Bad news. It is a hell of alot safer to use something that pumps the liquid through the nozzle, or use a gas like nitrogen to pressurize it.
Some things sound better on paper, and it is best to really think things out before you do something dangerous. My weatherbaloons filled with acetylene and oxygen and lit with fuse made a hell of a bang. It wasn't until I came up with the bright idea of adding some helium to make it float into the air before going bang that I had problems. Didn't use enough helium, and it only got 6ft off the ground before the wind changed direction and took the SOB right toward my parent's house. Luckly it only broke two windows and no one was inside at the time.

yes, works quite well
What also works well is sticking large nails into the potato of your potato cannon :]

just make sure to videotape it. and make sure someone not at the scene of the accident knows about the tape. those "shocking real video" shows eat that kind of stuff up.
