MAKE: Blog: The Flame Glove

The Flame Glove

Needless to say, this one would be a touch dangerous to make -

It took me a while to figure out how to build this. I took apart many things that you should not ever take apart (disposable cameras, lighters), and used the most dangerous parts of them in dangerous ways. Please don't try to sue me if you build a fire glove and burn your hand or point it in your eyeball and go blind, its NOT A SAFE PROJECT.

Despite a very hazardous exploratory/design process, this guy did manage to make a movie-grade pyrotechic wearable. -Link
