Flamethrower?
In space?
How does that work?
>>
>>23654689
quite well
>>
Idk, how did quess float through space without a space suit?
>>
>>23654689
The same way it works on Earth. A flammable liquid is sprayed on the enemy and ignited. It's how's the US army fought the Japanese in WW2 when they hid inside tunnels and bunkers.
>>
>>23654700
So oxygen isn't needed?
>>
>>23654689
The same way a Solar Flare works.
>>
>>23654704
The oxygen is in the thrower you moron
>>
>>23654704
If the substance contains it's own oxygen than oxygen like found in air or water on earth is not needed.
>>
>>23654704
No. The fuel itself can contain an oxidizer. You can shoot a stream of fuel or gas at someone and ignite it. The fuel will burn.

Similar to how rockets are used in space. The fuel itself is being burned.

Altron Gundam is probably doing the same thing to its enemies. The flame thrower arm is probably connected to a fuel tank somewhere.
>>
>>23654704
Think of a Lithium cell fire. You are not smothering it. You could dump it on the moon burning and it aint going out till it's done doing its thing (temperature wise).
>>
>>23654704
How do you think rocket thrusters work?
>>
>>23654689
People like this are maybe a year away from denying international combustion engines.
>>
>>23654761
They never made it through the firmament?
>>
>>23654689
Anon the mobile suits explode into flames when they destroy them
>>
>>23654788
Explosion=/fire
>>
>>23654689
Ultra-heated plasma.

The real question is how can he use a thermal energy weapon under water?
>>
>>23655029
It's simply THAT hot.
>>
>>23655029
They would work just fine, it would just create an explosive vaporization of all water around the blade, making for a very awkward weapon to use.

Its just fiction, same way how a light saber would not cleanly slice through and cauterize a wound, it would cause all body fluids that come in contact with the blade to explosively vaporize in a fraction of a second.
>>
>>23655029
There should be some sort of effect, but that's basically what happens with hydrothermal vents. The water pressure is so high it prevents the heated water from flashing into a big steam explosion. And in this scene the Deathscythe is standing at the bottom of the ocean
>>
>>23654762
International combustion engines don't exist, though. Internal ones do, but not international. We haven't set a bunch of Slavic nations on literal fire to power an engine yet.
>>
>>23655029
You really need to pay better attention to science class.
>>
>>23654689
>>23654700
So it's super napalm
>>
>>23655775
It's physics.
>>
>>23654689
It uses an oxidizer instead of O2.

The same way rockets work in space.
>>
>>23654729
The real question is, where is it being stored?
It should have big fuel tanks like the Geara Doga Heavy Armed Type.

Every time I feel like they've said the most retarded thing possible they somehow keep talking.
>>
>>23660353
A. there's air on the ISS, so it can burn
B. the word of a Russian is even less trustworthy than the word of a Zeek
>>
it works off keyed energy
>>
>>23655614
Earth's core is burning and it belongs to all nations.
>>
>>23656257
But Altron lacks balls. Same as its pilot.
>>
>>23661796
Quatre's a Newtype, he's allowed some retarded dialogue.
>>
>>23661932
Stop making allowances for space retards
>>
didn't that one recent star wars show have people losing their shit saying fire couldn't be in space ever
>>
There's no oxygen to get in the way of the fire.
>>
>>23654689
>>23655029
Universal Century, Correct Century, and Cosmic Era has nukes being used in outer space lmao
