What is a flamethrower?

Flamethrower is a device that can project the current of the burning fuel, most commonly used as a weapon. Since prehistoric times, the fire is used as a weapon, valuable not only for the physical damage it causes, but also for the fear it inspires. The earliest flamenowers, which released solid fuel through a tube as a blowing, dated back to at least 5th century B.C. And the Byzantines of the 7th century employed a weapon similar to modern flamethrots that could spray liquid fuel known as a Greek fire. Greek fire was particularly effective as a naval weapon because the fuel was based on oil and continued to combine and in water. His Flammenwerfer was presented to the German army in 1901 for testing. Fiedler created two models: Male-Again Kleinflammenwerfer , with 20 yards (18.3 meters) and grossflammenwerfer that, which was too big to have a man but was ables (36.5 meters). Both Flamethrowers were introduced into the German arsenal and deployed to three battalions in 1911. During the First World War, the early German success with the weapons caused their own Britain and France.

Fiedler's flame flame consisted of three cylindrical tanks, two filled with liquid fuel and the third flammable compressed gas. The gas was fed to the ignition system with a weapon with a hose. The second hose brought to the fuel tanks and pressure from the gas forced fuel through the weapon. The fuel was ignited as it sprayed from the weapon and created a steady stream of fire.

Flamethrower continued to see military use in the 20th century, with armies around the world deploying their own variants. United Stmarines Ates used Flamethrowers during World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War. Flamethrowers, howeverDIT fire with any accuracy or reliability, which leads to some of their usefulness on the battlefield. The terrible nature of fire as a weapon, death by fire, and disfigurement of injuries forced the military leader to consider the impact of a weapon on morality and public image. In 1978, the US Department of Defense decided to remove the flamethrower from military service.

civilians also found that the flamethrower was useful. It is most remarkably used in forestry for controlled burns to control forest growth. Farmers could also use soil -management flamers and to clean the field.
