It's great! Imo best in the [empty] street or any concrete/paved area (concrete patio, sidewalk), cos it breaks well & you get more sparks. But do mind the brush fire risk! Cos idk how much the risk is, but don't find out the destructive way.

Another thing, those lighters that have the one click function (where you press down really hard to ignite it) use a piezoelectric reaction to generate an electrical spark, which basically means it hits a crystal really hard and generates a burst of electricity.

Spent so much time as a kid heating up the “flint” from old lighters until redhot then throwing them, exploding in a ball of sparks. Was seriously hoping he’d do that with the big rod.

If you heat one up, red hot. And quickly throw it down on a hard surface, it breaks into little sparklers. And the pieces leftover looks like some kind of Carnival Glass... Take the Flint and wrap it up into the end of the spring out of the lighter.. Use a secondary lighter to heat it up.. throw it into an old bathtub.. May permanently damage the bathtub

You can heat them up and they’ll catalyze in the atmosphere (gets and stays red hot long after it should have cooled off do to rapid oxidation)

Wen I was a kid, I used to take the “flint” out of the crackhead lighters and take the spring that came with it and fold the flint into the spring. then we would light the flint till it got burning red hot and threw it and it would make a cool almost firework effect, it’s cool because you can kick it around for a little and it keeps sparking.

My favorite is the blowtorch the pieces that throw them on the ground.

The other important thing is that it works the opposite way from a flint and steel - with an actual flint, the sparks come from eroding the steel, not the flint. Before the invention of ferrocerium, things like wheellock guns used pyrite for the sparking material.

Interesting random fact: in WWII, Primo Levi, an Italian chemist who was imprisoned for being a Jew and part of a militia resistance group, was forced to do slave labor in a laboratory which was part of Auschwitz, one day he found a small supply of unremarkably black looking rods others around him didn't recognize. He knew it was ferrocerium though, and took it to barter for food with the other inmates and hold off inevitable impending starvation for a couple more months. It saved his life, and he went on to become one of the most important scientific writers of the 20th century.

You mean the one were he was like 'Im about to call BULLSHIT or the 'i have no right answers here' face

We learned that in boy scouts. A magnesium block with a ferrocerium rod on one side makes a great fire starting set.

My favorite party trick is to stretch out the spring, wrap the ferro rod and heat it red hot before throwing it down on the ground.

The part of the lighter that represents the flint would be the little wheel. When making fire with flintstone, you need another stone with a lot of iron in it or just a peace of high carbon steel. You use the flint to shave of small iron peaces to create sparks. Probably you could even use a flint to get sparks off the ferrocerium.

Yeah and the way he was using the blade of the knife to strike it, oh no no

No, the wheel is the metal that rubs against the flint. If you ever used a lighter with replaceable flints you'd know this.

You got it the wrong way around. The metal shaves off pieces of ferrocerium as sparks. It's the "flint" that wears away, not the metal. It the lighter wheel. A Zippo lighter would go through probably hundreds of "flints" before needing a new wheel.

When we were kids we used to take the springs and flints out of lighters. You put the flint in the spring then heat it up. When it turns red you throw it on the floor. Could only imagine that massive flint in the same scenario

Imagine the beautiful smell of that stuff being ground with the grinding wheel

I actually discovered it wasn't what I thought 3 days ago testing for diamagnetism, haha nice timing! :)

This would make starting a campfire a breeze.

Styropyro my favorite trick with Ferro cerium is to wrap the spring form the lighter around it a few times then heat it until red hot, then throw on a hard surface. It's a spark explosion.

Omg! You just changed my entire life.

Anyone else use to take the “flint” out of the lighter.. heat it up till red hot then throw it on the floor? Little firework

My grandma says this was how they did it back then and then the gas helps it stay on, so no one lied. Basically the sparks start it, then the gas keeps it on, and if your wonder, the tile says something about lying

get a piece of the ferro rod, heat it with a torch, and then slam it on the ground
