Dear visitors of the site, in the article presented to your attention, we will discuss how you probably guessed from the name, namely the creation
fixtures for producing fire in an emergency. For example, you lost your way in a dense forest and you don’t have matches and lighters, it’s impossible to use the sun at sunset with a magnifying glass, there’s only one sure option, to make a flywheel for producing fire under the force of friction. The design of this unit) is quite simple, you need a flywheel, rope, wand, plank or stick larger in diameter. How all this works, you will learn by examining the article to the end.
And so what did the author need to create this flywheel?
Materials1) a round saw cut of a tree 10-15 cm in diameter
2) dry stick
3) lace or rope
4) a board or stick
Instruments1) knife
2) a hacksaw
If you find yourself in a seemingly hopeless situation, for example lost in a dense and dense forest, exhausted in your search for the road home, in no case do not succumb to emotions and panic. On the recommendation of the author in this situation, you need to stay in place and set up camp. Rescuers will be sure to look for you, and as they tell them, it’s easier to find a person lost in the forest when he does not run away from them in a useless search for a way, but is quietly in one place, making a fire, because the smoke from the fire will help with the search operation, so consider this moment!
Now, about the author’s home-made fire production, it is recommended that you first find a dry fallen tree 10-15 cm in diameter and cut it with it, this will be the flywheel itself.
So the author found a tree, pay particular attention to what you need is a dry and fallen tree that has outlived its own, in no case do not cut young trees. He made a cut and got a flywheel, but this is only half the battle.
After the master made the flywheel, he makes a hole in it using his camping knife, then he inserts a dry and planed knife in the hole made.
After the master inserted the stick into the flywheel disk, he proceeds to manufacture the simplest mechanism that will power this device, namely, a dry stick of larger diameter than the guide is taken, a hole is made exactly in the middle in it and the non-driving axis is inserted directly, so say :) Then the rope is fixed to the edges, previously seated in the upper part of the main stick.
And so, here, in fact, everything is ready, then the author proceeds to test the mechanism in action and produces fire.
As was seen in the photo, the author previously prepared a dry stick by making a small notch on it to insert a flywheel sting, then makes a twisted rope move downwards using a cross stick.
Lowers to the end thereby unwinding the entire rope.
Then returns to its original position.
And fire is produced by such movements.
Also, if you suddenly have a newspaper, you can use it as a flammable material.
In this way, it is possible to fire with less effort in an extreme situation. The author also advises that before making a fire in the forest, clear a place under it, and cover the place of the hearth with stone, clay or earth, this is a necessary safety measure that should be strictly observed so as not to cause a major fire, then someone will definitely not find you :)
This concludes my tale, I hope you enjoyed it :) Thank you for your attention! Come visit more often, do not miss the latest in the world of homemade products.
