In this video I will go over how I made a
flaming sword or fire sword with different
color flames.
This is very cinematic but also very dangerous
and should be only done by a professional
adult.
Do not try this at home.
We will also cover a fire battle ax and a
flaming flail.
First I start by making gas for the colored
flame.
I use Heat which is just methanol.
I used a cheap spray bottle to mix the methanol
with the following compounds.
This is Boric acid and will give you a vibrant
green flame.
Lithium Chloride gives a beautiful vibrant
violet color.
Strontium Chloride gives a strong hell-fire
red.
First, I pour the methanol in the bottle then
I add a lot of whichever compound for the
color I want.
You can make other color flames but these
are my favorite because these are really vibrant.
The more compound the more color in the flame.
The chemical reactions can get hot so I left
the lid off for a bit just until it cooled.
To test the colored flames out I used a long
lighter to not burn myself.
Then I sprayed the bottle with Boric Acid.
Isn't that a bright green flame.
Use a different bottle for each compound.
Next is the deep red from the strontium chloride.
Lastly we have the violet flame from the lithium
chloride.
It is the most vibrant of the 3 flames.
All the links to the products I used can be
found in the description below this video.
Then I used this wick tape that adheres to
my weapon of choice.
This wick tape is amazing but you need sharp
scissors because it is tough to cut.
If you buy these cheap but awesome swords
online they work perfectly.
So next I measured my wick tape and then cut
it to size.
Its some thick material so it took a little
bit of time to cut it to size especially along
its long axis.
I got the sword, battle ax, and flail for
fairly cheap online but they look awesome
and I will link to them below with all the
other products I use.
Then I peeled off the tape and stuck it to
the sword slightly shy of the handle because
it gets pretty hot when its too close and
I don't want to burn my hand.
Next was the battle ax.
I wouldn't use an expensive weapon because
the flame can stain the metal and ruin its
sheen.
You really can add the wick tape however you
would like if you add it to both sides you
will get a bigger flame.
I used a little rope wick at the end of the
ax for extra flame.
Flails are really fun but are very dangerous
if you aren't trained on how to use them.
So I would only do this project if you are
a trained professional.
I tie the wick all the way around the flail
and then I just add wick tape where ever there
is a spot that is open.
Remember the more wick you can place on it
the bigger the flame.
Now I just spray the solution of the color
I want to the wick and... light it up.
Now I'll just impress with my ninja skills
which aren't very great.
Everything I used is linked to in the description
