- INTRODUCTION:
-
- I'm sure all of you are familiar with the Bic lighter, and I'm also sure
- you've tried to make the Bic Flamethrower at one time or another. Well...
- here's 2 more things you can do, First off is the Bic Rocket, and then the
- Bic Sparkler. Both work almost every time! Enjoy...
-
- MATERIALS NEEDED:
-
- 2 or more Bic lighters (the big kind)
- 1 large open parkinglot with noncombustible material surrounding it

- PREPARATION:
-
- First, hit the back side of the flame blocker against something and break
- it off. Take off the striker and get the spring and flint. Set them aside
- somewhere safe for later use. Next pull off the Fuel Valve, and put your
- fingure over the hole where the fuel comes out and shake it up. Leave your
- fingure on the hole.
-
- LAUNCHING:
-
- Find someplace where you can lay the lighter so the bottom faces up. Set it
- there, take the other lighter and light the rocket. It should burn just like
- it normally does, except the flame should be melting the plastic. It melts
- down to the fuel and... one of three things happens: It flies up into the air
- and explodes (usually about 10-20 feet up), Skips along the ground, or just
- explodes. It usually takes about 2 minutes for it to burn through the plastic.
- What every you do, don't go back to the lighter after it's been burning for
- more than 1 minute. And only go back if the flame went out!
-
- BIC SPARKLER:
-
- This isn't really a sparkler, but it sure is fun. Take the flint and the
- spring you set aside from the rocket and wrap the flint in the spring, like
- this, you pull the sprint, put the flint in the middle, like a plus sign, and
- then twist the spring once so it looks like this:
-
- Flint
- \
- ||
- ."||". <- Spring
- ." ".
- " "
- Then hold it over the flame of the one lighter you have left until it starts
- to wrinkle up or get red. Then throw it against a wall and whoosh, sparks fly
- everywhere and there's a little char mark left on the wall.
-
- CONCLUSION:
-
- Enjoy these, they're lots of fun at parties when everyones drunk, the sparkler
- is really trippy then. They are both best at night, but good during the day
- as well. If you have any comments about this file, or suggestions for other
- files, leave me Feedback on my board (Shadows of Iga).
