Abstract:
A toy gas-fired missile and launcher assembly for use by a human operator comprising:A. a missile composed of a head and a piston extending axially from the head;B. a barrel for launching the missile whose piston is telescoped in the barrel, a negative pressure being produced when the piston is pulled out, said barrel having a closed end in which is mounted an electrically-activatable ignitor, a combustion chamber being defined between said closed end of the barrel and an end of the piston when it is fully inserted in the barrel;C. Means to feed a combustible gas mixture into said chamber, including an intake tube communicating with said chamber and having a normally-closed valve and an inlet to the tube, the inlet of the intake tube being placeable adjacent an anal region of the operator from which colonic gas is emitted whereby when the piston is pulled out the resultant negative pressure acts to inhale the colonic gas into said chamber to produce the combustible gas mixture; andD. means to apply an activating voltage to said ignitor to explode said mixture, thereby launching the missile.
