Well, I know that our group includes:
* Bacon enthusiasts (Ithrael, etc.)
* Metal working enthusiasts
* Duct tape enthusiasts
* Science geeks

So I though a lot of people would be interested. In your case, you
might prefer the vegetarian version demonstrated at the end of the
video.

Technically, there has been some quibbling over whether or not it is
actually bacon. To quote the author:

"The challenge isn't creating the heat; it's engineering a bacon
structure strong enough to withstand the stress of a 5,000°F bacon
plasma flame."

"I used prosciutto (Italian for "expensive bacon") because it is a
superior engineering grade of meat."

I think it's nice to see someone use "superior engineering grade of
meat" in a sentence. Is not English a beautiful language?
