Hey, remember Pyro, the villainous X-Men mutant with fire powers? If so, perhaps you will also recall that he couldn't actually create fire, only control it, so he had to wear flamethrowing devices around his wrists that allowed him to shoot fire at his enemies. Well, someone went ahead and built them, in real life. "The Prometheus Device," (which he says is Version 3 of "The Pyro System") was designed specifically to emulate the mutant's powers, and admittedly it looks freaking awesome.
There are even instructions for building your own Pyro devices, which I DO NOT IN ANY WAY RECOMMEND as you will probably end up lighting everything around you on fire, including yourself. Just watch the video and live through this guy instead:

That looks freaking awesome! I found it astounding that people can even conceive of inventing something like this much less pull it off.

Agreed, very awesome. I'd love to be somewhere (candle lit dinner) and need to light something (candles). So what if your girlfriend is disappointed with melted candles, burnt tables and a flame shooting at her face?
