Exothermic Technologies Pulsefire Compact Torch System

Ownership is generally legal in the United States without requiring any sort of background check.

The Compact is simply a long range torch. However, Maryland and California do have restrictions regarding such devices. The city of Warren, Michigan also prohibits possession via local ordinance.

The Pulsefire Compact torch system is a liquid fuel flame stream system that is built to be as safe as possible for a device of its nature. Our team developed every aspect with user safety in mind. For example:

• The nozzle design helps keep fuel and flames at the nozzle instead of dripping back toward the user.
• The fuel hose is looped twice to ensure liquid fuel is always present inside the plumbing, as a redundant prevention of flashback.
• The ignition system is on-demand; no need for an open flame pilot torch or pressurized butane.
• The fuel storage tank is non-pressurized, like any typical gasoline powered outdoor tool.
• A normally-closed solenoid valve between the pump and nozzle prevents fuel flow when the system is off.
• A low voltage cutoff circuit prevents over-discharging the battery used to power the unit.
• Two opposing direction switches are required to be simultaneously pressed to activate the system.

Of course, flame producing equipment is inherently hazardous. Good judgment is key to maintaining personal safety. When the battery pack is installed, pressing the trigger switches will generate fuel and flames up to 25 feet away.

No. There is not enough air inside the plumbing to facilitate a flame front that is in any way harmful. The tiny nozzle orifice, convoluted geometry solenoid valve, and twice-looped fuel hose provide flame arresting properties.

Fully charged, it should power the system for about 15 full tanks of fuel.

The system will cut power when it's time to charge the battery, which is as simple as connecting a USB-C cable.
