Burning Soap Bubbles

In this Instructable, we look at the way to fill soap bubbles with the gas.

Why would you want to do that?

So, you can set them on fire.

Just like fire breathing - it's for the show.

What's needed:

• Plastic pipe with the cap
• Empty Lighter
• Bubble wand (ring)
• Metal wire
• Electrical tape (optional)
• Soap Bubbles
• Butane Gas (Lighter refill)
• Epoxy glue

Take out the fuel container from an empty lighter.

Unscrew the screw to let remaining gas escape.

Make sure the gas container is empty and screw opened!

Cut off the bottom of the container.

Glue it on a plastic pipe.

Drill a hole in the cap.

Don't drill it too big. You can make it bigger later. (if necessary)

Put the cap onto the pipe.

Attach the wire around the pipe.

Cut off the ring from the bubble wand and attach it to the other end of the wire.

You can wrap the wire with electrical tape if necessary.

Your gas bubble attachment for the butane canister is ready.

To change the size of the bubbles, adjust the ring's distance from the hole. You can also make the hole bigger if you think it's too small.

To blow the gas bubbles, dip the ring in the bubble mixture.

Press the pipe against the canister just like you would refill a lighter.

You will get gas bubbles.

If you light them up, they will burn with a big flame.

Great for performers or anyone who likes to play with bubbles and fire.

Warning:

Only do it outdoors.

Only ignite the lighter when you have stopped blowing the bubbles.

Don't ignite the bubbles that are too close to your face as the flame can be very big.

Sometimes the flame from one bubble can ignite another (chain reaction)

Keep the gas canister away from the flame. It's best to blow the bubbles, leave the canister somewhere safe or give it to somebody, before proceeding with ignition.

It's a good idea to wear safety glasses.

Read the label of your butane gas canister.

It's safe procedure as long as you don't do something stupid.

Just treat your gas canister like you normally would (keep away from heat, sparks, open flame etc.)

Same thing with the flame. Just use some common sense.
