 ar0cketman rated 9 months ago- Fire pistons are one of the most efficient fire starting methods around. They use compression to ignite fuel, like a diesel engine. Here is a supplier, with videos of them in action.

- Looking for a new, odd, way to light your cigarettes, which won't break down?Try this firepiston thing, they've gotta be hard to break. Not sure how easy they'd be to use though.This post (c) Kingreaper: He's a firestarter, compressed firestarter, since 1988.

- I like this, though I would never pay as much for a fire starter of any kind. Cool stumble nonetheless.

I understood the basics, but I wanted to know exactly what they had in there ahead of time to catch the flame.

- OK, forgotten old tech for starting fires. I like it, the engineer in me says, how'd he do that. There's feul in the tip, high pressure, like a diesel,, no obvious striker, i.e. no spark plug. Gotta build me one of these.

- Never even heard of these. Definitely the neatest and most phallic lighter ever.
