Are you a thinker? Please consider subscribing. We designed, built, and ran this fire-based Rube Goldberg in 36 hours.

Sorry to dissapoint, it's just an air tank. Fire extinguishers were EVERYWHERE just in case. I'll show more in the setup videos, which are uploading now.

The sequence of events is as follows:

Remote Control Vacuum cleaner is turned on

Fire tornado increases vorticity, thus raises in height

Cannon fuse is lit by fire tornado

Fuze breaks link holding up hammer

Hammer falls, pulling string

String pull trigger on Rifle

Rifle fires bullet across table and strikes matches

Matches light and ignite another fuze

Fuze lights gunpowder transfer tray

Gunpowder lights rocket

Rocket lights gasoline

Gasoline ignites 2 rockets and 2 Roman Candles

Rockets ignite Bonfire and fireworks

A buddy of mine from Canada did the music. He's pretty sharp with the tunes and can crank out customized songs pretty quickly. If you're interested here's how to get in touch with him:

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.

The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:
