I wish I had the skill or patience to make my own flameless candles! Think I will stick to buying them though.

nice, cheap solution though!

Yes.

Just yes.

Float this device in a pool of charcoal lighter fluid. Once activated, device works as originally designed until timer expires, then the capacitor charges and creates enough voltage to jump the airgap creating a wonderful ignition source for the lighter fluid. The pumpkin will thank you for a quick incineration over a slow rotting death, but the fire department may want a word with you!

Fire. Lots of fire. And explosions.

This basic project is great for a beginner, I applaud.

What is this??? Flameless? I need to double check the hand book, but I am fairly certain geek == “Giant Fireball from Jack-o’-lantern controlled by attiny13″?!?!?!?!?!?

(cool concept and all… but I swear there needs to be fire/explosions somewhere! this is just all wrong. Am I in a parallel universe or something?)

Of course” and not “using a cheap electric candle. Of coarse”

Keep up the great work hack a day! Because I point our your errors it means I love you! Want your posts to look great ^^
