Fire Piston Description

A Fire Piston works on the same principal as a Diesel Engine. When rapidly compressed the air heats up to over 500 degrees thus igniting a tinder. Fire Pistons will light many natural tinders found in natural settings, therefore they are perfect for hiking, camping and survival situations. Unlike gas filled lighters, fire pistons rely on natural materials that are always available.

The fire piston was used in the early 1800's by people of South East Asia and the Pacific Islands as a means of fire starting. An 1876 New York Times reported it earliest use in the west as early at 1745. Since then it was reinvented and introduced to scientist in 1802. It is believed that the fire piston may have inspired Rudolf Diesel to create the diesel engine.
