Everett Bradford is, for all intents and purposes, a real-life Tony Stark/Iron Man in the making. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years we see him flying around the sky fighting supervillains with his self-made robotic suit. He recently demonstrated his “Prometheus Device”, which is a hand-mounted appliance that shoots real fire, in a flame-thrower like blast, into the air. Head on over to Picasa to see scans of Bradford’s design notebook, sketches, CAD shots, and photos of the device in and out of action. Watch a video demonstration of the contraption after the jump.

    But where did the lighter fluid come from?
  • dammit that was brilliant! you beat me to the punch!
  • mbellerbrock
    His elbow, he showed it.
  • tricky808
    That looks awesome! But it looks like at 53 seconds into video he catches his hand on fire!
  • mbellerbrock
    Lol, yeah, it was a pretty fast cut away. I guess that's why he has the fire extinguisher in the background.
  • with this guy probably not being the only person developing such devices, & next years kick-ass film bringing milar's comic to a wider audience...what are the chances of turning on the news in a year or so & actually seeing people running around in masks and capes?!

    i realize this is beyond a nerdy of a question...but truth is always stranger than fiction, and im wondering how long before someone makes that leap!?

    More like Pyro in X3 than Iron Man.
  • If you don't get the iron man reference then well.. *sigh*
  • clarencesomerset
    What?? Of course this post is about Iron Man. But a guy shooting flames from a wrist mounted device?
  • mbellerbrock
    Did no one watch it? He said it was inspired by Pyro.
  • richard lee
    the expression is intents and purposes.
  • bud
    thats awesome, hope he comes up with some kind of protective suit.
  • How old is that kid? God damn if that isn't the most impressive thing I've seen all year. Someone give that kid a 6 figure job.
  • iglyf
    awesome. i'd give him a high five but....
  • Palmer
    Shame, he'd rather be Pyro than Tony Stark.
  • freemachine
    Wow, a tricked out Bic (yawn). I hope he burns his hand off.
  • PalmliX
    Very cool! Basically useless, but still cool haha! Maybe the technology could be put to some use somehow...
  • donivan
    Earlier this year, there was a segment on an movie channel that showcased a true flying suit powered by concentrated hydrogen peroxide.Tweeking,molding,this guy's design,testing and testing, there could be a suit designed for extensive jumps,not flying.
  • thelastknowngod
    Rammstein did this on stage when i saw them live almost 10 years ago..
