  • These fire pistons come with the added bonus of being able to see exactly what happens in the barrel during that moment of rapid compression.
    Heres what happens: A small piece of cotton wool is placed into the bottom of the plastic tube. When the air is rapidly compressed by a piston, the air temperature increases and the cotton ignites, creating a ‘flash’ of heat.

  • Fire Pistons demonstrate the rise in temperature when a mass of air is
    rapidly compressed. The tinder provided allows you to create a flash of light
    or an ember of fire by using the hand operated plunger.

    organic material will combust. To re-ignite a piece of tinder, the plunger
    must be removed to introduce a supply of fresh air.
