I have just completed a refillable fire extinguisher. I don't think that I have ever done something this cool, apart from my pneumatic rifle. I will try and post some pictures. It runs off of 3 diff parts, Compressed air, water, and the optional corn meal/flour (just so you can see the spray better).

You should get pics before you post the topic

Yeah, I kinda figured. I cant upload pics to my computer, since its linux. My camera wont accept it, so I will describe it. Picture a snap in schrader valve, just below and to the left of the fire extinguisher trigger.

Lose the water and this thing could get interesting

especially with a blow torch in front of it! haha

Or just use the fire he was trying to put out with the fire extinguisher

What weird camera do you have that can't work with Linux. I do most all of my camera stuff with Linux.

Switching the camera to the PC mode most often will allow the connection by USB and the photos are stored in a folder. To eliminate the need for a cable, I installed a card reader so now I just plug in the card and read it like a USB drive.

The Gimp is a great photo editor. Learn to use it to crop, rotate, and resize your photos.

yeah but its much more satisfying starting the fires yourself

Tech, my camera is pretty old, so thats kind of why it wont work. Crowley, I am going to try just flour and compressed air today. That will be something to see. I will try and see if I can upload to my dads computer and try and get a video up.
