Fire Water by 08M2

[binary1248]

My grandson has built this firewater fountain controlled by an 08m2. Still working on many details and cleanup, but the 08m2 controls the LPG gas bubbling up thru the water, controls timing for correct ignition, and duty cycle. This will be an outdoor only display.
The neat thing is he is really impressed by the PicAxe chips in how little or no prephreial support hardware required. He used to use Arduino, but got him to try the picaxe and he loves it.
Short video of rough fountain/waterfall fire.
Those are white led's on the bottom of the bucket, not glowing coals.
By the way, he is 21 and very safety conscious about fire and LPG.

That's awesome, binary! Never seen that firewater trick before. LIKE!

Great to have another PICAXE convert! - We've had some methane in water problems... e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LBjSXWQRV8

Holy Toledo, take a shower and you could blowup your house ! That sort of water problem would be frustrating and dangerous.

I will post pictures of the finished fountain and code when he gets it done.
In the above video you can just see his right hand holding a small black remote control he is using to turn it on and off remotely.
