Use a lawn sprinkler of the type that usually delivers
spurts of water, but connect it to a pressurised supply of
napalm. (or similar) At the point where the liquid
emerges in pulsed spurts, cause an ignition spark to
occur, timed so that individual balls of flaming liquid
projectiles shoot
out and travel in an arc over a
considerable distance.
I have no idea what use this would be apart from being
very scary, nasty, dangerous, totally illegal and very
destructive.

HAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!! MUHWHAHAHAHAHAHA ! <Violent coughing/> |

Not illegal, unless you used it in a public place. |

You'll need a low-viscosity hydrocarbon. Napalm just won't do for this type of mayhem. You want kerosene. |
|

I can see it used as a vigorous area denial system. Hook up a line of these to underground fuel tanks and you'll have something infantry and many types of tank or personnel carrier will not cross. It needn't be running full blast all the time; randomly timed short interval spray could work just as well. Put each sprinkler in a hefty reinforced concrete box. |
|
| |
Put the sprinkler with a tank of fuel on a small robotic carrier. Drive toward enemy. Or drive it into a room or bunker and announce the occupants have ten seconds to clear the area. The benefit over a bomb is reusability. |
|
| |
Mount the sprinkler on the sides of a tank to deter tampering. |
|
| |
Use it to decoy heat seeking missiles. |

Not necessarily, WW2 flamethrowers generally used thickened or gelled fuels to make them cling to surfaces and stop them soaking into the ground. |
|
| |
You just need high delivery pressures. |

Oh, it will. It surely will ... |
|
| |
We like all volatile liquid fuels. |

Thought about this for a home security system. Motion tracking sensors and a warning recording as trespassers are being doused saying, "Gasoline will be substituted for water and ignited in, five, four, three, two..." |
|
| |
Probably wouldn't get to "one". |
|
| |
A system which sprays an intruder with gasoline-scented water would be useful. The thought of wearing clothes soaked in fuel would be quite alarming, even though the liquid itself was entirely harmless. |
