Cool gadgets you never heard about: alcohol blowtorches.

The goal of the blog is to show you new stuff you might have never seen before.
Apart from hobbies and projects, I will also sprinkle articles about low profile cool devices or technologies here and there.

My pick of the day is alcohol blowtorches. They date from somewhere between the time when the ominous flea market petrol blowtorches were a thing, and before everybody got cheap and easily accessible compressed propane.

Precise hot flame, no moving parts, from a fuel you can make at home even after the zombie apocalypse.

They're very elegant in construction and simplicity, and produce a nice roaring pressurized hot flame, using only alcohol as a fuel source.
They're suitable for a variety of jobs, including soldering, or scavenging electronics parts.
