Wheelchair with a flamethrower: Lance Greathouse and his Lord Humungous contraption
Lance Greathouse’s mobility scooter – christened Lord Humungous
– has a flame-thrower that spits fire 10m (35ft), around the length of a double-decker bus. The dental equipment engineer, who sends disabled people ‘pimped’ wheelchairs, spent a month and $1,000 (£645) building the contraption out of en electric golf cart, a helicopter seat, all-terrain tyres and old dental machines.
‘I love fire and wheelchairs so I thought why not put them together,’ the 52-year-old, from Phoenix, Arizona, said.Why not indeed.
He needs to work a bit with his mix. It needs to be a little stiffer. More soap flakes. That gives the jelly effect that actually squirts.

If he puts some real ordnance on it, something from Dillon Aero, it'd be nice for neighborhood watch. I live a couple hundred miles west of him, down along the border, big neighborhoods around here. As it is right now, all he'd do is scare some of the cats and jacks.
