Solid Fuel Lighter II
23 Sep 2015Progress: Concept
It has all the appearances of a Zippo lighter. It opens up to reveal an ordinary flintwheel, and strikes an ordinary (if somewhat sulphurous) flame.
It is loaded with ordinary matches*, pressed one at a time into the spring-loaded magazine. The lever that presses on the hinged lid is geared to the reload mechanism, so that opening the lid ejects the burnt stub of the previous round and a fresh match slots into place.
(*Or the proprietary Solid Fuel Lighter FuelSticks, depending on the business model adopted.)
