Lightsaber (flame saber)

I have a great idea for this. It would be basically a cutting torch in the form of a lightsaber. If anyone has any experiance building flame throwers and stuff lemme know, i need some help gettin started.

Basically i will need

1. Fuel source
2. Oxygen to make the flame jet out like in a cutting torch
3. a housing to fit the oxygen and fuel and an igniter
4. and a button to press that lets the oxygen loose like in a cutting torch
5. safety, one way flow valves so i dont explode.
6. and a heat shield around where the flame would be so my hands wouldnt get burnt

I really think this would be possible and it would be an awesome thing to have. If anyone wants in on this project lemme know.

great way to get yourself killed.
can we leave the dumb ideas for self mutilation off of this board please?
I for one don't feel like getting sued over some kid setting himself on fire.

The fuel they use is Acetaline (spelling?).

When the oxygen isnt flowing the Acetaline thats still burning makes a SOLID black soot.

When you cut the air quickly to a torch it makes a loud snap.

To try and get the fuel to go up a preformed rod wont work to well.

Just a bad idea overall.
