Phil Meloy Posted January 20, 2005 Report Posted January 20, 2005 Giant humanoid will fire flames Ananova.com An Alaskan man is building an 18ft hydraulic humanoid which can fire 20ft flames from its arms. Carlos Owens Jr says his creation will also be able to shoot 9ins nails from its shoulders. He has been building the £10,000 ($18,700) machine, which he calls a 'mecha', at his parents' house in Wasilla since October 2003. Quote
