Creating a Flame Throwing Wheelchair: The Coolest Thing I've Ever Made
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- Flame Throwers and wheelchairs are two things that usually don't go together...unless you're Lance Greathouse. Lance works as a dental repairman during the day but spends his spare time building all sorts of amazing science fiction themed creations. A few years ago he was making massive fire sculptures for Burning Man, custom hot rods and competing on "Robot Wars", but then tragedy struck. His brother and best friend Brent was diagnosed with a form of Parkinson's disease and was confined to a wheelchair. Lance decided to build his brother a custom tank wheelchair. The custom chair became a conversation piece and his brother loved that the attention was no longer initially on his illness, but rather the chair. The chair became a perfect icebreaker when meeting people and felt like something fun as opposed to a burden. Lance decided to make other people custom chairs (including the flame throwing wheelchair!) and eventually things morphed into Wheelchair Labs, an organization that helps people who don't have resources get a regular wheelchair. It does so free of charge and is funded by donations.

This is insane
Pixel Man it’s pretty awesome for sure! So much stuff to film too!
Hope this gets over a million views. This guy is awesome!
With such a small build budget, on such an expensive commodity, it seems he could sell a few custom order rigs for $10,000 or $20,000 (ie, at ComicCon, or for a movie set) that would go to support the next 20 or 50 chairs for the needy.
Good idea! I'll suggest it for sure. Cheers- Guy
"We chase the kids with the machette"
Happy Wheels irl
Episode Suggestion:
Try to get in touch with the guys behind a project out of MIT called "Stompy" - a giant spider robot with two diesel engines (yes, think Wild Wild West). Talked to a guy about it a few years ago in a driveway in Cambridge (where it almost kicked me in the head! Haha) and then I moved away ... Don't know if those guys finished it.
The attitude of this video (really excellent feature, btw) made me remember.
Chandler Philpott thanks so much!! I’ll check that out for sure. Sounds awesome! Cheers- Guy
His work is way beyond cool ~
For sure! It's epic indeed! Thanks for watching! Cheers- Guy
The coolest thing you ever built was everything you ever built for someone else.
This looks like it could be one of the bosses in one of the Dead rising games
Lol, he's for a boss.
This dude is awesome.
So awesome indeed!
Amazing!
Imagine if he made a PewDiePie gaming wheel chair
My stepfather has two mobility scooters that do not work at his house. One, the battery won't charge, the other, an axle is bent. My father wants to find homes for them.
Dont forget the big red button its important
This is one great man
And I thought he was going to toast the chihuahua
