Down at Burning Man, everyone and their dog has a flame effect on their tricycle, art car, rolling stupa, whatever. With the appropriate safety features, like a tilt switch, why not put an accumulator style flame effect on a two wheel bike?
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION A flame effect is not a flame thrower! A fame effect lights a puff of flammable gas (as in gaseous state), usually propane. Directed to the sky, no one and no property gets hurt. A flame thrower directs a stream of flammable liquid, usually designed to stick to its victim. Not fun for anyone involved.
Whenever I talk about putting a flame effect on a bike, Institute shareholders want to run for the hills. But with a couple of classes from Ian and the crew at
Interpative Arson (you’ve got to check out their instillation Dance Dance Immolation!!!), safe accumulator style flame effects ain’t such a big deal.
More to come.
