if the entire contraption can with stand high temperatures that would be a great design.

the jet is causing wind and just spreading the fire!

aaron ... than why can you blow off a candle? If you add too much air than it works.

aaron thinks to much... yes oxygen is required for something to burn.. but when you put out soo much water at such high pressure it has more of an effect. they had a similar hand held version of this a while back
