A pneumatic lighter is a lighter that works by compressing air. It is known that with strong and rapid compression of air, it heats up to very high temperatures. This feature of air underlies the pneumatic lighter, the manufacture of which is dedicated to our review.
Let's start by watching the author’s video
We will need:
- a piece of aluminum;
- old valve;
- rubber rings;
- a piece of foil;
- a piece of rag.
The first step is to make a cylinder out of a piece of aluminum. To do this, you must use the machine, as the author of the idea does.
On the valve, it is necessary to make two cuts for the o-rings, as well as a seat at the end of the tube to put the tinder there. Again, all this is done on the machine for perfect precision. If desired, you can repeat the entire process manually, however, to guarantee a good result in this case is difficult.
After that, install the sealing rubber rings on the valve. It remains to make sure that after the valve enters the cylinder, everything is tight, and this can be recognized by the sound when the valve is removed.
Let's move on to testing in combat conditions. It is necessary to make a tinder from a piece of foil and a rag, that is, wrap a rag with foil and burn it over a fire. After that, according to the author of the idea, he gains an excellent smoldering property.
A piece of tinder must be placed on the seat on the valve.
After that, we hit sharply on the valve, which enters the cylinder at high speed. As a result, air in the cylinder is rapidly compressed.
It remains to quickly remove the valve with the tinder, pour the tinder onto a piece of newspaper and fan the fire.
