Build a tesla coil for $100.
What if their flame thrower range is longer than the range of my Tesla coil?
Also, how will I get my revenge?
With a fire-extinguisher robot dog?
I can't kill my neighbor who sent the flamethrower robot dog to my house with a fire extinguisher robot dog! Not without plausible deniability anyway.
Not quite doable: https://youtu.be/Ry5YEknaxBk
A 5 minute thing blown up to a 50 minutes action sequence with cars drawing circles in the desert and a helicopter filming infrared and tüdelü, all in 10x repeat, is a sad new high for me.
But of course someone tested that already.
Well...That's TV shows for you.
But even better: Between each repeat would be an ad break. :)
At least we don't have that (premium and/or ad blocker) on youtube...
Didn't notice the ads. Newpipe with sponsorblock i guess?

Put your Tesla coil on a long boom. Worked for pikemen.
The nice part of that is that the fire conducts along the electricity
Edit: this was like two weeks ago but it was the other way around I am dumb
Make use of the only ~~good~~ usefully informative scene in Small Soldiers, and use a power transformer to create a city block radius EMP
