Intro: SLAM ROD FIRE STARTER - IGNITION BY AIR!! Did you know there's a way to start a fire by squishing air? In this project I'm going to build a tool that does exactly that. And I'll do it for under $1.00. This tool is completely see through, so you can witness the ignition first hand!

Slim49 says: Jan 11, 2014. 7:13 PM REPLY Wow! nice one! I tried this with an old mini Mag light.

can't get it to fire, :-(.

I will look for these components !

Thx,

Slim

haammoouud says: Nov 11, 2013. 12:13 AM REPLY I bought a rod but it is a little too big to fit into the tube. Would I be able to sand the rod down until it fits into the tube! And by the way i love your videos

Haughy says: Jul 17, 2013. 10:05 AM REPLY Is there any template for this, like for 3D printing?

encyclopediaofwierd says: Jun 23, 2013. 11:17 PM REPLY Can you please tell me what the inner dimension and outer dimensions of the acyrilic tube is, or suggest a good measurement for a metal one?

Koubiac says: Jun 18, 2013. 9:01 PM REPLY Just made this. Works like a charm, great instructable.

RossTheGreat says: May 6, 2013. 7:20 PM REPLY So cool! I want one for my . Ginna try to build one out of metal tube, though.

Arathorn says: Mar 24, 2013. 12:07 PM REPLY Awesome! I had heard of this technique years ago and always wondered how it worked. Thanks!

miicchhii says: Mar 11, 2013. 12:21 PM REPLY This is great!

Did you try to make one from aluminum? Is it possible to use metal instead of plastic or would it cool down the cotton too much?

Keep it up! Great work!

The King of Random says: Mar 11, 2013. 4:01 PM REPLY Metal is actually more common. My first one was made from a copper stub-out from the hardware store. Aluminum would be great as well! I just did the plastic so I could witness the ignition. Thanks for asking and for your compliments!

nekomartinez1 says: Dec 1, 2012. 7:12 PM REPLY where can i buy the clear acrilic tube and rod i would like to make this. any info would be great.

The King of Random says: Dec 1, 2012. 9:18 PM REPLY Thanks for asking! Check around with local plastics companies. At last resort, you can buy some on the internet.
