A flamethrower like this one can shoot a fuel stream as far as 50 yards 46 meters. As it exits the nozzle, the fuel flows past the ignition system.
Over the years, there have been a variety of ignition systems used in flamethrowers. One of the simpler systems was a coil of high-resistance wire. When electrical current passed through these wires, they released a lot of heat, warming the fuel to the combustion point. The gun in the above diagram has a slightly more elaborate system. When the ignition valve is open, compressed flammable gas from the middle cylinder tank on the backpack flows through a long length of hose to the end of the gun.
Here it is mixed with air and released through several small holes into the chamber in front of the nozzle. The gun also has two spark plugs positioned in front of the nozzle, which are powered by a portable battery. To prepare the gun, the operator opens the ignition valve and presses a button that activates the spark plug.
This creates a small flame in front of the nozzle, which ignites the flowing fuel, creating the fire stream. In World Wars I and II , as well as in the Vietnam war, flamethrower designs similar to the handheld models were mounted on tanks.
