I Bring To You The Prometheus Device!

This is at the top of the "Don't DIY" List! Everett Bradford has constructed a device to mimic Pyro's flame throwing mutant power. You have got to check this out!
This is stupid cool. This is cooler then anything you have actually ever seen in your life, but DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! A guy by the name of Everett Bradford has constructed a flame throwing device to mimic Pyro's mutant power. I know, that's crazy right? But it is also reality.

.
Many thanks to MTV for providing the video!

What do you think the next device to be made will be?
10 Yes

NICE! That's cool. If only someone could replicate Iron Man...haha.
Bamf7 - 11/5/2009, 8:17 AM
This is cool, but all I can think of is the smell of singed eyebrows. Just don't put your hands in your pocket I guess.
Upupandaway - 11/5/2009, 8:17 AM
So he tied a bunsen Burner to his hand?...turning up the fire hardly duplicates Pyros power!!


I say we chip in to get this guy a hooker lol :P
teabag - 11/5/2009, 8:19 AM
people get quite creative when it comes to bringing comic books to life
Whargoul - 11/5/2009, 8:19 AM
Pretty Kool! I kept waiting for him to accidently lite something on fire, I guess that's the pessimist in me...
KentAllard - 11/5/2009, 8:24 AM
it's neat looking but that could turn REAL bad real fast.

I hope that kid doesn't make himself medium well
DarthMulder - 11/5/2009, 8:30 AM
More like the optimist in you!
Betty - 11/5/2009, 8:32 AM
Betty lol yeah it would of been worth watching then lol
teabag - 11/5/2009, 8:40 AM
Stay tuned for next installment when mr. bradford does shadowcat and runs right into a wall!
Killian - 11/5/2009, 8:45 AM

Killian @ lol..im looking forward to the Ice-Man demo with Liquid Nitrogen :P
teabag - 11/5/2009, 8:55 AM

joshw24 - 11/5/2009, 8:56 AM
YOU NEED TO MAKE ONE FOR EACH HAND, AND ON TOP OF THAT, FIREPROOF AND HEAT PROOF GLOVES, NOT ONLY FOR LOOKS, BUT FOR PROTECTION..."HEY WHY IS YOUR HAND SO RED?""I WAS PLAYING WITH MY PROMETHEUS"..."HMMM...PROMETHEUS IS A NEW WORD FOR _____"..
GUNSMITH - 11/5/2009, 8:57 AM
I WOULD HAVE HAD THE FLAMES COME FROM MY FINGERTIPS, WAY BETTER CONTROL.
GUNSMITH - 11/5/2009, 8:59 AM
JOSH-YEAH, WE CAN WATCH HIM FREEZE FLIES
GUNSMITH - 11/5/2009, 9:00 AM
Id just lite my farts...less time consuming :)
teabag - 11/5/2009, 9:00 AM
wow this guy needs a girlfriend lol!!!!
FAD - 11/5/2009, 9:12 AM
GUNSMITH: Im guessing that the guy will eventually end up setting himself or his house on fire so he probably wont get around to making anything else, lol! :)
joshw24 - 11/5/2009, 9:17 AM
I agree with Tea's idea to get a hooker for this poor sap - I'll chip in a 50 cents...
loganoneil - 11/5/2009, 9:24 AM
LOL, the weird thing here is, the general public is starting to make what hollywood and the comics has only imagined to work. So the next logical question is "What is next?" In the 80's and even 90's the above contraption was only in the movies, now it is a reality. What do you guys see as being the next phase in bringing the movies to reality? Wolvies claws, spidey's web shooters? Hey who knows. Nods to the Iceman idea, that would be cool to freeze a few flies and whatever else you wanted to. Dare to dream people, dare to dream.
jman1977 - 11/5/2009, 9:31 AM
Well thanks to logan we have a dollar...c'mon guys show compassion :)
teabag - 11/5/2009, 9:40 AM
Haven't wee seen this before? Still Awesome though!
Tobuttica - 11/5/2009, 9:46 AM
This guy's videos have actually been posted on here before. He says that he's got engeneering degrees, so he knows how to do all of this stuff safely. Cool concept.
necrosage2005 - 11/5/2009, 10:00 AM
@FAD: You volunteering? lol
DarthMulder - 11/5/2009, 10:02 AM
There is something else for me to build.
Number21 - 11/5/2009, 10:09 AM
Wow. I wrote this article around 3am this morning and woke up to see that it was deleted. And now at 12pm, the article appears in the form of an editor's article

I'm confused here
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 10:09 AM
Whispers68, how can this always happen to you? If this site keeps doing this to you and you hate it so much, why don't you go and make your own site?
necrosage2005 - 11/5/2009, 10:22 AM


@necrosage

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but my previous comment isn't that serious. It's a question I'm asking because after a few people commented mine, I went to sleep and then checked my phone's browser and now the article isn't on the site any longer but a similar article is. I love the site but I was curious as to why mine was deleted to then see several hours later a similar article.
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 10:34 AM
That is sweet i want one at least he has a degree i found someone that made wolvey claws on desktop key board tracks that fit his forearm pretty BA. and another guy is making them and put a patent in.
cris1986 - 11/5/2009, 10:43 AM
@whispers and Jman I could swear I was up around 4:00 and I commented on whispers promtheous fire thing He had pictures and a youtube video. It was actually pretty awesome. whats up?
Set2Fallfirst - 11/5/2009, 10:49 AM
I so he can't make a dragon or anything else made of fire then... like pyro, I guess, but kind of stupid and dangerous
batfan39 - 11/5/2009, 10:52 AM
Yeah ive noticed it happen to Whispers alot :(
teabag - 11/5/2009, 10:52 AM
Lets see everyone try that themselves..A for effort...those who critisize..your poor and unfortunate...creativity always breeds jealousy..lol
NightShade - 11/5/2009, 11:15 AM
Wicked nice. I want to know, where the hell is the webslinger at?
Saraeth - 11/5/2009, 11:18 AM
no thats pretty awesome takes a lot to do something like that
Set2Fallfirst - 11/5/2009, 11:27 AM
Yeah, I've been following this guy on youtube. This is his 3rd or 4th design for this system, seems to take more work than I would've thought. And he does have an engineering degree & work with pyrotechnics so I would imagine he knows what he's doing.

Overall, pretty cool. He should design web-shooters next. :)
Runefyst - 11/5/2009, 11:31 AM
i remember when i was a kid i used to copy Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers and build shit, but damn.. nothing like that. ahahahahaha..
InFamouslyCool - 11/5/2009, 11:41 AM
I remember seeing something like this a few months ago, it still seems a bit strange, I mean I thought I had a lot of time on my hands. But if he's actually a pro and this is just part of his job kudos to him.
thwhtGuardian - 11/5/2009, 11:42 AM
I cant imagine what part of his jobs requires a lighter attached to his palm lol :)
teabag - 11/5/2009, 11:48 AM
teabag, you never know, he could work at a cigar bar, stunt company, fireworks company, or NASA.

Whispers68, I was being 1/2 serious. It seems as if this keeps happening to you, and then you get on and take over the posts about how people keep wroning you. It gets kind of old. Just learn from it and try to do better. If you happen to have a problem with the site take it up with the owners, not the posts.

P.S. I'd also recommend that you make sure that you're following all of the rules, too. That might be a reason, I don't know.
necrosage2005 - 11/5/2009, 12:00 PM
Everettbradford's youtube account is right here. I don't exactly remember in what video I saw that he said that he was an expert, and that is why he was making this thing. I think that he is doing a great job, and they should use him in the next X-men movie if Pyro is in it.
necrosage2005 - 11/5/2009, 12:09 PM
Wicked nice. I want to know, where the hell is the webslinger at?
Saraeth - 11/5/2009, 12:10 PM
if he can do this while killing time... and for shits and giggles... imagine what he can do if he took things seriously!
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 12:11 PM
@necrosage

Perhaps you created your own perception from written text but I never "took over" posts. What I did was pose a rather simple question without being overbearing, rude or bitter. One comment in an article is considered "taking over?"
I've followed the rules as you put it and my question once again isn't that serious as you're making it now with your responses. My initial reaction was to write a comment in the article. I'll write something to the main editor in a bit

Always remember this, questions are meant to bring clarification. If my question "bothered" you, why respond to it? Nonetheless, good post by Jman. The device is awesome
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 12:17 PM
Let's end this communication between you and I about what I posted and get back to the device.

I'm not a fan of internet back-and-forth...
So how about those Yankees?
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 12:20 PM
Yankees!!!! (I take it they won? cuz I was supposed to finish watching it for my dau and I feel asleep =)
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 12:24 PM
The guy needs sex...simples :P
teabag - 11/5/2009, 12:44 PM


Thats cool!!
LEEE777 - 11/5/2009, 12:44 PM
@keepitreal

Yeah...they took the win. The parade in the city will be like pandemonium. Are you a Yankees fan?
My girlfriend is and she's been into this series more than I've ever seen before...she didn't show this enthusiasm for my Steelers when we had a Superbowl party last year at a friend's house. I bet she'll somehow skip school and make an excuse to the lead doctor during the parade as to why she can't make it to work.
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 12:47 PM
YES!!! HUGE FAN! have no choice! the whole family is even my son. My dau is begging for me to take her to the parade! haha its about an hour away for us. Maybe I will surprise her and get her from school early so we can go. idk. when they were watching the games omg! it gets so loud in here. I swear the neighbors can hear. GO YANKEES! (sorry about that!)
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 1:02 PM
Whispers68, I didn't say that you did on this post. Could've sworn I saw you doing that a few weeks ago on another one. Either way, I don't care, either.

This guy is really talented and I hope that he continues to refine this thing.

Native NYC'er here, so I always like to see NY teams do well. Filfthadelphia sucks as a city... :D!
necrosage2005 - 11/5/2009, 1:02 PM
necro: NYC'er over here too! =)
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 1:08 PM
I hope this guy never sees any Bionic Man shows...
gtrman - 11/5/2009, 1:25 PM
"A butain and Propane combination"...one little accident and this kids gonna do some serious damage.
dav1dca1n - 11/5/2009, 1:31 PM
@keepitreal

How old is your daughter?
My girlfriend is now saying she can't make it. LoL. She seems so down about it.

But it sucked for me last year since there were perhaps 12 present at the gathering. Everyone was against my Steelers except my girlfriend and my friend's mom. Every single olay we made an error on, each person took turns throwing it in my face...but we won.

Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 1:38 PM
whispers: my dau's 13. very young but LOVES the Yankees so much. She is bummed cuz she has a test tomorrow so I wont take her out of school now. Your gf is not alone it seems in her disappointment.

thats what I dislike about the sport... when they throw it in your face when an error is made for an opposing team. everyone makes mistakes ya know. People are fantatics (cough, cough husband and daughter! haha)
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 1:47 PM
I'm still waiting for the Mariners to stop sucking ass. Had a few good years and ready to get back to it. As much as I don't like the Yankees, got to give them props. Way to go Yanks!
Tobuttica - 11/5/2009, 2:06 PM
Cool, but this is a seriously dumb idea. Someone should probably tell this kid not to do his testing in an enclosed room like the one that he's in
Banner123 - 11/5/2009, 2:20 PM
@keepitreal
You're lucky my friend. When we eventually get married and have children, she knows when it comes to the NFL...the family's rooting for the Steelers.
I was really proud as she sat next to me being there grasping my arm and supporting me, although she didn't like football...she was lending her guy support when all the other girlfriends in the room were rooting with their boyfriends against me. She now enjoys it but sometimes pokes fun at the idea my team will lose their next game. It's something she does whenever she wants my attention.

But I wish your daughter luck on her exam. Definitely agree that taking her out isn't a good idea. I just graduated from college so I can imagine if I had a test and my team won...I would take my test of course but would feel weird not being able to celebrate.
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 3:37 PM
lol at :53 he burns his hand with fire, then conveniently cuts the camera off. anyone else notice that!
I - 11/5/2009, 4:05 PM
HAHAHA! THATS what my husband said! I used to root for the mets... and he for the Yankees... but when the kids came along... the mets fazed out and he has the whole family rooting for the Yankees. Im more for if they're from ny.. I got their back. but when it was mets vs yankees... i was forced to pick a side and my husband and daughter we're gonna kick me out! lol... but I support them. They get so loud though and woe to anyone who is sitting next to them on an out or something.

its so sweet of your girlfriend to lend her support. I used to lend mine quietly... (tehehe) I would take advantage a game was on... have all he needs... chips, beer, salsa etc... and id have my book... good times... good times... when I would say the jets are gonna loose i would get the evil eye. haha... best wishes to you when you start your family. remember... take LOTS of pictures because they grow soooo fast.

yeah... my daughter is bummed. She now says its just a "quiz" and no big deal. (NOT!) its like I tell her all the time... work hard THEN you play hard. Congratulations on your graduation. =) How exciting. Wish you the best on your future endeavors. =)
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 4:06 PM
KIR@ How dare you have a husband...gggrrrrr lol :D
teabag - 11/5/2009, 4:13 PM
awwwww

... so sorry... I figured since you have a wifey it was ok... tehehehe.... still got nothing love for you <3







KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 4:25 PM
KIR@ aaawwwww thats ok then lol...




:)
teabag - 11/5/2009, 4:44 PM
tea ... =)



KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 4:46 PM
yay x


teabag - 11/5/2009, 4:52 PM
Now if only he could do that with but with web cartridges. . .
StrangeCosmic - 11/5/2009, 5:45 PM
give the guy credit...smart and stupid at the same time...hope they record the er visit, too
MisterUnderhill - 11/5/2009, 6:48 PM
dam were can i get one
chavodel310 - 11/5/2009, 7:58 PM
EPIC BURNS!!!
@teabag- That is the reason why idiots shouldn't play with explosives... It turns a Sir into a Shela. ;)
Magicfingers - 11/5/2009, 8:27 PM
magic: HAHAHAHA :D
KeepItReal - 11/5/2009, 8:31 PM
Awesome
SgtPeppersComics - 11/5/2009, 8:49 PM
@keep it real

wow, I've never seen a posting without boobs on here before or something hinting at boobs. LOL

Does your husband have you wearing any jerseys, hats, etc? I'm asking because I was wondering if it would be a little overbearing if I bought her a collection of Steelers' items. LOL. She's doing her best to stand by her guy and i love her for that, especially when Football wasn't her thing. I'm going to do a little something for her since she can't make the parade and seemed really bumped earlier about it

Thanks for the graduation wishes but as I mentioned to Teabag a few weeks back, I'm beginning grad school soon so back to being a robot once more...work/school/work/school/work/school. Sucks but it's paying off.
Whispers68 - 11/5/2009, 9:57 PM
boobs :D
teabag - 11/6/2009, 2:33 AM
This guy is going to burn himself. Really Badly.
wards - 11/6/2009, 3:51 AM
necrosage is right, this same device was posted on this site weeks ago.
CorndogBurglar - 11/6/2009, 7:59 AM
@ wards

that would be funny! i hope that video gets posted too!
CorndogBurglar - 11/6/2009, 7:59 AM
whispers & Tea: boobs... haha... i have to be careful when im on this site. My son saw some boobs once and was all: "ooooo, i like that mommy" ! I feel out! I was like ok time to turn off the computer... haha..

My husband doesnt make me wear them but I keep him and my dau and son stocked of all the stuff.. shirt, socks, pants, pj's, hats, xmas ornaments etc... I think he's just happy i dont bother him till 1/2 time or something so he's cool. he leaves it up to me. =) Give her the option. Since she is so supportive already let her take the initiative to sport them or not. That way she doesnt feel forced, but its done out of love. =)

Grad school. NIiiice. Knock it out the box. Work HARD then you'll play hard. You will be a success and reap its rewards later. =) good luck to you. best wishes.
KeepItReal - 11/6/2009, 8:00 AM
This guy is BadAzz! and so are you KeepItReal! givin dating advice!?! this site just keeps gettin better :)
