The Lighters

The cigarette lighter can also be called, chisquero or tinderbox. It is a mobile device that is used to generate a flame. Generally used as a fuel or butane gas pressure (in the first lighters used a wick)

The first lighter was a tube about 9 mm in diameter in which he put on the cotton wick. In another tube had a wheel with a spring. By turning this wheel produces sparks that lit the fuse.

The following were lighter consisting of a tank which stores gasoline, butane ... a stone with friction causes sparks, igniting a fuse smaller than the previous one, which in this case was soaked with gasoline.

The lighters do not often use modern stone, but a system that impact on a quartz produces a spark. A variant of these lighters are lighters that do not have cooking fuel (only produce sparks that cause the gas is turned on)

You need to know the risks of modern lighters, because if they are exposed to high temperatures (to have the sun on a summer day ...) may cause bursting. This may result from a simple burn to even the loss of an eye by the explosion of a broken plastic pieces that come with the explosion of the lighter. You need to present even more giant lighters, they seem funny for its size, but it takes a far greater danger. The fuel load is up to 10 times longer, which increases the risk considerably (it's like having a bomb in your hands if you do not use it properly).

Today we can find many kinds of lighters, from rock to electronic, of all colors and all shapes. National and international production ...

Finally we can define lighter as one of the best inventions of man. Although its mechanism does not involve any complication therefore has less relevance. Making fire is a very important thing for man and that has cost a lot of sweat if you have the right tools.
