What are eternal matches and how to use them?
Dimensions: 55 x 20 x 10 mm. They weigh no more than 10 g. The case is rectangular in shape, consists of black plastic and thin silver-colored aluminum plates. A rod (or match) is placed inside it. To remove the latter, you need to unscrew the threaded cover. Eternal match is made of a tube of a special alloy (iron, magnesium, lanthanum, etc.) and “onrepaired with tinder.
Gasoline is poured into the body of the flint-lighter. It soaks the wick of the match. Rubber gasket prevents fuel leakage.
To strike a fire, you need to strike with a rod along the side surface of the box, where there is a recess (it contains silicon). During the impact, the smallest metal shavings are cut out of the armchair, and the temperature at the same time locally rises to 900 degrees Celsius. The heated chips come into contact with air containing oxygen and instantly ignite.
As usedlighter, the flint will gradually wear out, but this will take a long time. You will have time to kindle a lot of fires. It is not for nothing that tourist's flint is called the eternal match.
A fire that breaks out is not so easy to put out, which is a definite plus in windy weather. It can burn until the gasoline in the wick runs out. After use, the steel rod is returned to the box, where it will again be saturated with fuel.
