Fire piston information


A piece of flash cotton is ignited by the sudden compression of a fire piston.
Demonstration of a fire piston

A fire piston, sometimes called a fire syringe or a slam rod fire starter, is a device of ancient Southeast Asian origin which is used to kindle fire. In Malay it is called "gobek api" . It uses the principle of the heating of a gas (in this case air) by rapid and adiabatic compression to ignite a piece of tinder, which is then used to set light to kindling.[1]
