Brady pulled all of the parts together... He used to have a page up on livejournal.com about the construction... but he removed it for safety reasons.
Basic supplies include a camping backpack frame, plywood for mounting the components, high pressure welding argon tank (charged with argon (or any other INERT gas... DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR!!!!!), pressure regulator (for the argon tank), large tank for fuel storage (must be able to withstand high pressure), a propane burner and tank (for the pilot light), and a handle with a nozzle and a valve. Also, extra safety shutoff valves in numerous places are a good ideal.
Don't cheap out on any of the parts... Especially the tubing... Most standard tubing breaks down in the presence of gasoline. This is bad, considering internal the pressure that the flamethrower is under. We ran the main fuel tank @ 90 psi for the video.
If what I have stated above hasn't scared you away from building one of these contraptions, just remember, one mis-calculation or design flaw and you will most likely end your life as you currently know it. No one other than you can be held responsible for your own actions or the actions of your friends/neighbors/cohorts. Consider yourself warned.
now that was amazing, how did you guys build that thing? it seems like it was professionally made, but also it reminds me of the flame guys on red alert

Looks like a lot of fun, but it also looks very dangerous.
