Arcadia is a giant flamethrowing spider built to be a DJ booth at festivals.
It has got over 1,000 moving parts and it is mostly made from recycled military scrap material.
Arcadia creates a 360-degree show complete with flame cannons, lasers, lights, CO2 jets, and a troupe of performers hanging above people's heads.
The legs of the spider come from a government disposal yard and they were giant cranes used for scanning trucks and containers at ports.
The top muscles were helicopter fuselages, whereas the eyes were afterburner units from Nimbus spy planes, and the booth was built from a Tri-Star Jetliner's turbine rotors.
Some of Arcadia's fire is also biodegradable and it is collected from chip fat from restaurants and chip shops around Bristol.
Arcadia weighs 50 tons and is 50 feet tall. The fire can shoot 50 feet above the structure.
Some of the DJs that played on it include Carl Cox, Fatboy Sli, Andy C, Chase & Status, and Skrillex.
