This is my new oxigen powered mini.It's from tick pipe, a battery and an aluminium barrel.It makes a super cool berrel flashes(depending on the fuel and the concentration) more then 10 inches.The O2 is also very easy to make.

I do believe he mixes Potassium Permanganate with Hydrogen Peroxide, which caalyzes the H2O2 into H2O and O2.

I do believe that he uses another fuel, becuase oxygen alone does not burn, at least it think, it just increases the burn of other materials.

Rambo~ Congratulations on another innovative gun!

The fuel is acetone.When I put mathanol instead it gives great barrel flashes.Like a fireballs(and still make a sound like a detonation).Because this gun is very rliable even with 2mm spark it can be used for an ignition sistem :idea: .What more relible then that?Some one should try this.It's so much fun to shot in different ivairments with different fuels..
