In this video we look at a MicroFlame Micronox mini torch.
This tiny torch runs on a combination of Butane, and Nitrous Oxide.
These were invented by a Leonard Aske in 1962, and were sold by Radio Shack,
under their Archer brand, from 1972 through at least 1999.
These were even used as movie props in Star Wars and Men in Black.
