Surely every person has seen how in a movie or a circus people hold a flame on their hand, or even juggle or throw it. And if they can be created using computer graphics, then in the circus it looks like a real miracle. In fact, this phenomenon has a completely scientific explanation and is called "cold fire" by chemists. If you wish, you can surprise the guests with a spectacle at the holiday by making it yourself.

Let's define terms

By non-burning flame, chemistry means an oxidation chain reaction in which a glow is observed. So if you strictly follow the terminology, cold is not. It is used to create very spectacular special effects and some varieties of fireworks. A number of esters and acids, both organic and inorganic, are capable of producing a cold flame. The most commonly used ethyl derivative of boric acid.

Often, cold fire is also understood as a visual “trick”, in which the combustion process as such is absent. It is usually used not for tricks, but for design purposes.

The most effective way to make a cold fire at home

If we consider the most famous option for creating a flame that does not burn, then it will require quite affordable ingredients. A spoonful of alcohol is taken (medical or chemically pure, used for analysis). It is mixed with an equal volume of boric acid powder. It, like alcohol, can be bought at any pharmacy. A drop of concentrated strong acid - hydrochloric or sulfuric - is dropped into the solution. For the uninformed: this is poured into batteries, so getting it is also not a problem. The bowl with the workpiece heats up. The fastest and safest way to do this is in a primitive water bath. When the mixture becomes noticeably warm, but not yet hot, you can begin to show the trick.

If you have never made a cold fire before, you should not set fire to it directly in the palm of your hand - if you are not skilled, you will get injured. It is better to roll up soak it with the composition and only then set it on fire. The match (lighter) should not touch the thread ball.

Caution above all!

Cold fire remains only as long as the ether formed by the reagents burns. When it runs out, ethyl alcohol will work directly - but its combustion temperature is quite high. In addition, do not forget that the acid involved in the creation of the flame is a dangerous substance. So here are some precautions to take:

1. In no case do not increase the dose of acid. First, an explosive mixture may result. Secondly, you can get a chemical burn by putting the ball in your palm.
2. Make sure that there is no hair or edge of clothing near the ignited glomerulus. An inexperienced magician may not catch the moment of ignition of alcohol, and the things mentioned are flammable.
3. Keep a small, non-flammable container nearby to cover and put out the cold fire when it gets hot. Or show trick over the kitchen sink to quickly throw it into it.

After a certain amount of training, when you learn to control temperature changes to such an extent that you do not get burned, a non-burning flame can be lit right in the palm of your hand.

A safer option

You can make a cold fire in another way, although it will look less impressive, since the flame from it has the usual, not colored greenish, color. A small piece of cotton fabric is taken, rolled into a ball and wrapped (or better, stitched) with threads so that it does not unfold. A low-temperature fuel, such as isopropanol, is poured into a shallow bowl. You can take the so-called one, but here you need to be careful: these liquids have different combustion temperatures, you can run into quite tangible ones. A fabric ball is dipped in fuel, squeezed out and set on fire. The lump will warm your hand, but if you roll it over the palm of your hand and between your fingers, you will feel only pleasant warmth. And if you lubricate the place where the ball is laid out with cream, then you can keep it in one place. The only safety measure is not to touch the top of the flame - this is a guaranteed burn.

short flame

There are other methods on how to make a cold fire with your own hands, based mostly on the dexterity of a magician and small tricks. The easiest way to implement two options:

simulated flame

It remains to consider the fireplace cold fire. At home, not being able to lay out a real fireplace, many romantics do just that. A fan is placed in a box (even a cardboard box) so that the air flow from it is directed upwards. LEDs and optical filters of red, blue and yellow colors are placed in the corners. There are mirrors on the sides. Triangles are cut from the fabric and glued to the box. The system is plugged into sockets - and the cold flame creates comfort in the room.

Spring is here, which means it's time to get outdoors. What to have fun in nature, except for the field kitchen and the arrangement of the camp? We suggest you try several ways to make a fire without matches and lighters. It's exciting, and most importantly, if the result is positive, you will get invaluable experience that may someday come in handy in your life.

Every experienced hunter, fisherman, and just an avid traveler should know how to make fire without matches. This is the basis of survival in any unforeseen situation. Fire is life, and it is extremely difficult to do without it in harsh field conditions. Matches can simply get damp, and then traditional and not quite traditional methods and ways of making fire come to the rescue. Some of the methods described below have been known to man since ancient times, and some are the know-how of modern times, they were invented recently and in some respects are not inferior to traditional methods of making fire. Lighting a fire without matches is a painstaking and time-consuming task. You can find yourself in the wild under absolutely any conditions, and only a fire can save a person.

1. Making fire with friction

This is perhaps the most famous and affordable way to get fire. It is long and painstaking, so you need to prepare for the fact that it will take a lot of time to get the first spark.

There are certain criteria for the success of such an event, one of which is the right choice of wood as a rod and plank. The wood should be dry, not damp. A rod is called a wooden stick, which will have to be twisted on a plank around its axis in order to make fire, creating the effect of strong friction.

The best types of wood suitable for making fire by friction are walnut, cypress, cedar, willow, aspen, pine.

It is necessary to collect tinder in a compact pile. Do not put too much tinder on the wood substrate. Tinder itself is made from dry leaves or grass, it is a light material that must be ignited by a spark. A V-shaped hole is cut into the wooden substrate and a little tinder is placed in the recess of the hole. After that, the wooden rod is placed in the recess and the rotation of the rod begins. To rotate the rod with your hands more conveniently, you need to take a wooden stick to create a rod with a length of at least sixty centimeters. It is necessary to press the rod on the wooden substrate very carefully, while quickly rotating it between the palms.

After a spark is obtained, dry moss, juniper, aspen bark should be placed on the board.

Another interesting way to make fire without matches is the Fire Plow. To make fire using this method, a wooden substrate made of dry wood is useful, in the middle of which a recess for the rod is cut. You have to forcefully move it up and down. As soon as the tree begins to smolder, it is necessary to put tinder.

A bow drill is another versatile way to make fire without using matches. Unlike manual friction, getting a spark from a bow is faster. Since the bow maintains ideal pressure and maximum rotation speed of the wooden rod. As a result, there is strong friction, which helps to make fire in a short time. What is needed for this method? This is, first of all:

• Wooden rod;
• Wooden substrate;
• Bow and weighting agent;

During friction, the weighting agent is pressed on the end of the rod, and the rod rotates with the help of a bow. In order not to break the rod, it is necessary to take a less dense and solid weighting agent.

You can use water or oil as a lubricant, so the process will go faster. Let's talk about the bow itself. You can do it yourself. The length of the bow should correspond to the length of the arm of an ordinary person. It is better to choose a flexible and pliable vine, the bowstring is made of rope, shoelace. The bowstring can be made of absolutely anything, but it must be strong and not break during the making of fire. It is simply pulled over the ends of the vine branch, and the bow is ready to use. A hole is cut in the wooden substrate, the wooden rod is placed in the loop of the bowstring. One end of the rod should fit in the hole in the backing, and the other end in the string of the bow. The bow moves in a progressive motion, and through this process, fire can be quickly produced. Tinder is added to the embers, and the fire slowly but surely flares up.

2. Making fire with lenses

We all know the standard physics course at school, from which we remember that a beam of solar energy passing through glass is concentrated at one point. The temperature is so high at this point that it is enough just to bring a paper napkin to it and it will light up. This method of producing fire is good for everyone, but there is also a significant minus. You can get fire with a lens only in dry and sunny weather. What will be required?

• Lens of any type;
• Tinder collected from dry leaves or grass;

If you don't have a lens, regular glasses, a piece of glass, the bottom of an aluminum can, and even ice will do. By the way, you can stop in more detail about the extraction of fire with the help of ice. It would seem that these are two mutually exclusive concepts: ice and flame. But thanks to the ice, you can kindle a fire, this is especially useful in winter, when it is difficult to find dry leaves or grass. The principle of operation of such an interesting method was also described by Jules Verne. You need to create a lens from ordinary ice, but the ice should be as clean and transparent as possible.

Thanks to the coordination of the sun's rays, even paper can be set on fire. It is not always possible to find pure ice in nature, but you can freeze plain drinking water. The resulting piece of ice is carefully processed and polished with improvised means. Ice can also be frozen in a spherical container, such as a shallow saucer. But you need to remove the ice as carefully as possible so as not to damage it. The ice melts quickly and such a lens should be used as quickly as possible.

As for simple lenses, it is enough to take just a few dry twigs, leaves, grass and build something similar to a nest. After the lens is aimed at the tinder, one must carefully monitor the appearance of smoldering and smoke, try to fan the fire.

3. Making fire with chemicals

A simple knowledge of elementary chemistry will help you make fire. Some chemicals ignite when rubbed or mixed. But when using this method, individual care must be taken so as not to harm yourself. It is important to avoid physical contact of the chemical with the metal surface. The following compounds contribute to inflammation:

• Potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate) and regular sugar in a ratio of nine (sugar) to one (potassium permanganate);
• Potassium chlorate and sugar (proportions three to one);
• Potassium permanganate and glycerin;
• Sodium chlorate and sugar (proportion three to one);
• Potassium permanganate and any antifreeze;

Now the question is: where to get these chemical elements? Potassium chloride is part of some preparations against throat diseases (Furacillin). And potassium permanganate and glycerin can be found in the first aid kit. The most elementary example: we take a small piece of cotton wool, pour potassium permanganate, then sugar and begin to rub such a kind of tinder with a stick.

After a couple of minutes, the cotton wool will ignite. A typical mistake of inexperienced people is that they do not follow the correct dosage of ingredients.

4. Getting fire with a flint, flint or flint

Another way, rooted in a long history: making fire with a flint and flint. The flint and steel were especially popular in the eighteenth century before the invention of ordinary matches. To strike a spark and build a fire, it is enough to have a stone made of silicon. A couple of blows are enough and you can bring tinder from leaves or dry grass to start a fire. The flint and steel were often used in field conditions or in war. And also, many wear it in theirs. The armchair must be metal.

If you're lucky, you can strike sparks for the future fire using silicon. Flint, consisting of hard rocks of minerals, can be easily found among stones. By the way, flint flint was used in ancient firearms.

5. Condom

After we have considered the traditional and quite familiar ways of making fire without matches, we can turn our attention to alternative methods of making a flame. Let's talk about the most interesting of them. A condom is not only a means of protection, but also an excellent tool for making fire without matches. It must be filled with water, the main thing is not to overdo it.

The result is a kind of lens. Light from the sun passing through the condom is focused on the pre-cooked tinder on the wooden substrate. As a result, the tinder begins to slowly smolder, it remains only to fan the flame of fire. This is such an interesting and creative way.

6. Flashlight

You can get fire with a regular flashlight, if you, of course, do not feel sorry for him. The flashlight will have to be broken. The electric part of the light bulb on the lantern is carefully broken (we need to expose the electric arc itself).

We quickly place a little tinder, bring a bare arc and set fire to the tinder.

7. Skating

Not by washing, so by skating! In this case, you will need ordinary cotton wool. This old prison know-how is that a kind of roller is formed from a simple piece of cotton wool.

The roller begins to roll over the surface of the wood. After a while, the cotton wool begins to smolder, the cotton wool increases in size, being saturated with oxygen. Oxygen itself is a catalyst for the combustion reaction.

8. A can of Coca-Cola and a bar of chocolate.

How can these delicacies help in making fire, you ask? Everything is very simple. The components of success are a sunny day, chocolate and a soda can (tin). Open the chocolate and begin to rub it on the bottom of the can. Of course, it’s a pity for chocolate, but what you don’t have to sacrifice for the sake of producing fire!

Such cunning polishing will make the tin bottom shiny and shining. After polishing, the Coca-Cola can turned into a kind of parabolic mirror. We turn the polished bottom towards the sun and try to set fire to the previously prepared tinder.

8. Wool and batteries

Wool and ordinary batteries can also come in handy for the difficult task of making fire without matches.

We simply stretch the woolen fabric (it is desirable that the wool be natural) and begin to quickly rub a piece of wool with a battery. The optimal battery power suitable for such actions is approximately 9 watts. Wool, after long efforts, slowly begins to ignite, it remains to lightly blow on it and put tinder so that the fire starts faster.

10. Firearms

You can get saving fire if you have a firearm. It’s just that a shot is removed from the cartridge itself, the sleeve can be stuffed with tinder in the form of dry moss, leaves, folded dry bark and a blank shot is fired at the place where it is planned to make a fire. The rest is just a matter of technique, it is necessary to fan the fire and throw dry branches into it.

A rather exotic at first glance method, but still very effective in emergency situations.

As you can see, there are many ways to start a fire if there are no matches. It is important to know some elementary rules, folk tricks and tips that can keep you warm in the forest or even save your life if you suddenly get lost. The experience accumulated over the centuries allows you to get a saving fire from almost any improvised materials. This does not require special skill, it is important to apply the maximum amount of effort to produce fire. Fire is life. And a cheerful, crackling fire will warm you in any situation and in any weather.

Some spectacular tricks with fire can be shown with the help of improvised household tools and using quite simple methods. However, it should always be remembered that when working with flammable liquids, extreme caution and adult supervision is always required. You can impress your friends with tricks worthy of a real circus show, or even fool them into thinking you are the real master of fire. For more information, proceed to reading the first step of the article.

WARNING: Take special care. Working with flammable liquids without proper protective equipment is not recommended.

Steps

The use of a gas lighter

Take precautions. If you are going to perform this trick, you must take appropriate precautions so that you do not set fire to your house and get burned. To perform this trick, go outside, find an area of ​​​​free space without dense vegetation around and other combustible objects. In case you need to quickly put out the fire, you should have a bucket of water on hand, and you should also invite an adult to look after you during the trick.

• If you are using gloves for protection, then you should use old leather gloves or coated gardening gloves that will fit snugly around your hands and have a fairly strong surface in the palm area. While bulky heat-resistant gloves provide excellent protection against burns, the cloth glove trick usually fails and can even become more dangerous. Bulky, heat-resistant gloves often extinguish flames in the bud, while ordinary cloth gloves can absorb liquid gas, increasing the likelihood of the gloves themselves catching fire and causing burns.

1. Make a fist, leaving a gap between the little finger and the palm. Clench your fist, leaving enough space inside it to allow you to freely insert the end of the lighter. The fingers should be pressed relatively tightly so that the gas does not seep between them when you begin to fill your fist with it. The upper opening of the fist in the place where the index finger touches the palm should be clamped with the thumb.

   • Try to imagine that you are holding water in your fist and trying to keep it from spilling. The trick, in essence, is to fill the fist with gas and set it on fire at the moment the hand is opened.

2. Insert the end of the lighter into your fist. Insert the end of the lighter with the flint deep enough into your hand so that you can fill the cavity created by the fist with gas. It is not enough just to bring the lighter to the lower edge of the palm, you need to insert the lighter inside.

   Press and hold the gas button for 5 seconds. To start the trick, you should press the gas button. Do not strike a spark by turning the wheel of the armchair, but simply press the button.

   • Different performers of this trick hold the button longer or shorter, depending on the intensity of the gas supply of the lighter, as well as on the size of the fireball you want to create. For extreme caution, it is best to stick to a time of five seconds, this is quite enough to accumulate the required amount of gas, giving a relatively brief flash of a fireball.
   • Once you get used to working with the lighter during the trick, you can try to create a larger fireball by holding the gas button down for ten seconds or a little longer if you wish. However, you should start small. This trick is dangerous, do not try to jump above your own head.

3. Take the lighter away from the fist and light the flame. After the countdown of five seconds, you need to act quickly so that the gas does not have time to dissipate. Move the lighter about 30 centimeters away from the fist, and then light it, giving a spark and turning the gas supply back on.

   • On no account strike a spark while the lighter is in your fist filled with gas. This is extremely dangerous.

4. Bring the flame to the hole in the fist near the little finger and open your palm. Quickly bring the lit lighter to your fist, at the same time opening your palm and moving all fingers one by one, starting with the little finger. Act fast. The gas will ignite and burn quickly. From the outside, it will look as if you can "control" the flame, spawning fireballs with your palm.

   • To achieve coherence of their actions will require some practice. You need to take your fingers "fan" away from the lighter, opening the little finger first, then the ring finger, and so on. If you open all your fingers at once, the gas may not ignite, and if you do not open your fist, you can burn yourself. Under no circumstances should the fist be left clenched.

   Applying flammable hand sanitizer

   1. Be especially careful. This method describes a very common party trick that is popular on YouTube, but should only be used with extreme caution and only performed under adult supervision. If you don't act quickly and safely, it's easy to hurt yourself.

   2. Purchase a flammable hand sanitizer. This kind of trick involves setting fire to a small amount of disinfectant and quickly interacting with the fire, followed by immediate extinguishing. To do the trick, you'll need to find the right alcohol-based disinfectant: look for "ethyl" or "isopropyl" alcohol.

      • It is very likely that some disinfectant liquids will contain many ingredients, others only one or two, however, the presence of one of the two alcohols above will make it flammable, depending on the presence of other components. Nowadays, there are more and more alcohol-free hand sanitizers that won't do the trick. Be sure to read the composition of the product on the label, otherwise the trick may not work.

   3. Take proper precautions. The idea of ​​the trick is to spread a small amount of disinfectant in a thin layer over the surface and set it on fire, followed by very quickly run your finger over the burning surface and extinguish it immediately. It is very important to use gloves for this trick, and you also need to have a bucket of water on hand to put out the fire if necessary.

      • Find the right heat resistant surface to work on. To perform this trick, you should position yourself outside, preferably on a concrete surface away from any flammable objects. The more level the ground, the better. Clear the area of ​​all combustible objects: branches, sod, paper. You need to make sure that nothing but the disinfectant will catch fire.

   4. Spread a thin layer of alcohol-based disinfectant over concrete and light. Squeeze out a small amount of disinfectant and spread it evenly over the concrete with your fingers. Wipe the disinfectant off your fingers so they don't catch fire prematurely. While the alcohol has not evaporated, take a lighter and set fire to the oiled surface. It should light up with a barely noticeable bluish flame.

      • It is better to perform the trick at night so that the glow of the flame is more noticeable. However, the lighting should be sufficient so that you can understand exactly what you are doing. You can try to perform the trick in the evening, when there is moderate natural light, and the flames are already quite noticeable.
      • Under no circumstances you can not lubricate your hands with a disinfectant and set fire to it on your hands. The trick works because of the speed with which you perform it, not because the disinfectant burns safely. Such actions will be extremely dangerous, you will get severe burns. Do not do this.

   5. Run one finger quickly over the burning layer of disinfectant. If you do this quickly, you can pick up some of the burning disinfectant with your finger, giving a fleeting impression of burning fingers. After doing this action, you won't have much time to enjoy the spectacle, as you will get burned if you let your fingers burn for more than 1-2 seconds.

      • You should feel hot, or a strange combination of hot and cold. Hand sanitizer usually creates a cooling sensation that can be confused with heat. In any case, you will not have enough time to really feel something. You just run your finger over the surface, look at it for a second and extinguish the flame.

In the conditions of a hike, extreme tourism, or in difficult life situations, there is often a need for a fire. But how to make a fire without a lighter and matches - here you will need special skills, plus improvised means that are sure to be found.

Putting together a variety of ways to make fire without resorting to matches and a lighter so that they are suitable for any difficult situation, regardless of season and weather, is the goal of this article.

Magnifying glass plus cotton wool

This method of making fire without a lighter and matches will help out on a sunny day, even when the day before everything was mercilessly wet in the rain, and regardless of the season. The main condition is a shining sun without clouds at the moment.

• Cotton wool can be found in the first aid kit, but it can be replaced with a paper napkin, a lump of toilet paper, or a bunch of dry grass or a piece of birch bark, if any - that is, everything that is useful as tinder.
• A lens of a convex type with a thickened middle is brought to a flammable medium and the sun's beam is focused as close as possible in one point beam.
• Soon - and this depends on the collecting properties of the convex glass - the agent placed under the lens will light up, in the case of grass and birch bark - it will smoke, so the flame will have to be fanned.

If you have a candle-tablet or dry alcohol with you, it is better to make a flame under them so that they turn into a stable source of fire, from which a fire will subsequently be lit.

Used flint lighter plus cotton or paper

It does not matter if the silicon lighter runs out of gas at the most critical moment - the flame can still be obtained from it.

• You need to stock up on the same cotton, napkin or piece of toilet paper, placing them on something longer burning, for example, on the same pill candle, on a lump of dry grass or old dried moss.
• First you need to remove the top metal cap, and, bringing the lighter close, strike it - sparks will fall on the tinder and cause ignition.

Therefore, do not rush to throw away a lighter devoid of gas - it can still help out by causing a fire without matches.

Working battery plus foil paper

Surely there will be a wrapping paper that has a foil coating on one side, like inside a cigarette pack or on a chewing gum wrapper. It remains to find a working cylindrical battery - and fire without a lighter and matches is provided.

• A thin long strip is cut off from a piece of paper foil, capable of reaching from one pole to another, but with a margin.
• If only a short piece is available, it’s not scary, it’s enough to step back from the negative pole, which is a flat area, clean the insulating layer on the cylinder with a knife - this will already be a positive pole, and their closure will give a discharge.
• You will have to experiment with the thickness of the foil, as it either burns out instantly or warms up slowly.
• It makes sense to make the jumper itself a couple of mm thinner than the ends of the tape.

It is enough to put the sagging middle on a flammable agent - and the flame without matches is ready!

Evenly concave spoon or ladle plus cotton or paper roll

The larger the diameter of the object and the depth of the concave bottom, the faster the fire will appear in the sun without the need for matches or a lighter. A tablespoon can be trimmed so that the concavity is approximately the same on all sides - this is necessary for the maximum concentration of the sun's ray beam at one point.

• A couple of napkins or a piece of toilet paper should be rolled into a tight roller the size of a pencil.
• One end of the roller is evenly cut off and smeared with soot, you can use ash - it will be like a wick.
• Now it remains to direct the concave bottom towards the sun, bring it close to the point where the beam of rays is reflected, and wait for the haze to appear.

Then you have to blow up a homemade wick and bring it to the tinder, so that in the absence of matches, make a fire.

Water-filled condom plus coals

This trick to make fire without matches and a lighter has the same principle of a focusing lens, concentrating the rays of the sun at a single point.

• First, fill the straightened condom with a portion of water.
• Then the tip is pulled down and clamped between the knees.
• Now you need to pour as much water as possible into the product so that the home-made “lens” is larger in diameter - so the flame will arise faster.
• The water collected at the bottom in the form of a round flask must be fixed by tying a condom on top of the knot.
• Then they put a bunch of coals and send a beam of sunlight to one of them, waiting for a light smoke.
• They take a heated coal, inflate it red-hot and, pressing another one against it, continue to blow.

Now the red-hot coals are returned to the pile and, still inflating, put tinder - soon the long-awaited flames will appear.

Can with concave bottom plus tinder

Household aerosols in cans have a uniformly concave bottom, which plays the same role as a lens collecting the sun's rays. A beer can with a similar bottom will also come in handy.

• First, a wick is constructed on a stem by winding a piece of cotton wool onto a stick or wrapping it in a lump of dry twisted reed.
• It remains to bring the wick to the point where the light beam has gathered, and wait for the first haze to appear.

block of ice plus wick

On a sunny frosty day, if there are no matches and a lighter at hand, and the need for fire arises, you can look for a block of glass-like ice - and the flame, after some effort, is provided.

• The block is cleared of snow and roughness, first with a knife or an ax, and then polished by hand.
• The main thing is to achieve the shape of the meniscus, when one of the surfaces is convex, the second can be left flat.
• Now the sun's concentrated spot is sent to the wick until the smoke comes out.

It remains to set fire to the tinder with a red-hot wick and make a fire.

Friction force for making fire

Flame has long been mined by friction, so it is not a sin to use ancient knowledge in an extreme situation.

• Rubbing a stick against a wooden block, if a hole of a similar size is made in the block, will result in smoke, even when everything around is damp from rain.
• If a thin layer of cotton wool is sprinkled with soot or chalk, and then rolled into a dense roller, then, quickly rolling it between two boards, it will ignite inside.
• If with a flexible wire or a guitar string, attaching handles at the ends of the sticks, wrap around the trunk of a log and, placing a wick, begin to rub quickly, then the wick will soon ignite.

In principle, any friction between two hard surfaces will lead to a strong heating.

What can act as tinder and wick

Dry paper for lighting a fire is not always available, but a fire is needed. The following means can serve as a wick and tinder:

• cotton wool and cotton wool insulation;
• rags;
• handkerchief;
• cotton pads and swabs;
• toilet paper and napkins;
• small chips and wood shavings;
• old reeds, reeds and cattails;
• rocking chairs of old cattail;
• birch bark;
• hay and straw;
• old dry moss.

The main thing is not to get lost and look around, you will definitely find something suitable for lighting a fire.
