Fire  Pistons

Ever wish you could reliably light a campfire without matches, lighter or magnesium? Would you believe it can be done in under 30 seconds with no effort? Using air and the heat of compression this remarkable device creates a burning ember with a single push. The fire piston represents the most amazing and effective fire starting method ever conceived. Similar to the diesel engine, air molecules within the cylinder become hot when rapidly compressed. With a single push, tinder placed in the end of the piston is ignited by the heat of compression, instantly becoming a glowing ember with no more effort than lighting a match. The video clip below shows lighting the fire piston and making fire in 24 seconds. The fire piston can be used to ignite a variety of tinders including true tinder fungus, mullein pith, milkweed pod, fomes fomentarius ( hoof fungus ) wood punk and charcloth. The most familiar methods for fire starting today usually involve the transfer of an isolated flame, such as from a match or lighter, to a combustible material. Matches and lighters require little effort, they are effective under favorable conditions and their use has become so common that for many people it is the only method known. However, an isolated flame is a fragile thing and adversely affected by the natural elements such as wind and water as anyone whose has attempted to light a campfire on a wet and windy day knows.
