Magnesium rod characteristics:
Magnesium rod has a very special characteristics, you directly take the lighter to burn it, it does not spontaneous combustion, must be in accordance with the appropriate use of methods to ignite flint ignition; if the flint lost in the water, Still can be used.
This flint can save your life in the event of a fire, so that you can use it to ignite a fire in a very cold and humid environment, as long as the scene has dried wood chips or leaves or newspapers, etc. The maximum temperature can reach 5500 degrees Fahrenheit (3000 degrees Celsius) .You can be confirmed by a simple test, first magnesium scraping a considerable amount of powder, into a copper bowl, and then thrown into them ring, you Will find the instantaneous temperature of magnesium powder even the gold ring will melt, we can see that its combustion temperature is quite high, but its ignition is very low.
Three-step pilot fire:
Step 1: Find some of the ignition substances (such as dry grass, dried leaves, birch bark, pine needles, pine resin, fine twigs, paper, cotton, etc.).
Step 2: Scrape some magnesium from the magnesium sticks on the igniter (scratch slowly).
The third step: fast scrape magnesium rods, spilled Mars will ignite the ignition (such as bad operation comes with a knife, you can use some other sharp knife to scratch, or even use a stone to scratch).
(Note: no matter what kind of material to do fire, they must be kept dry.If you carry a waterproof container, the fire is a good way to collect in. Usually pay more attention to the collection of fire.
Instructions for use (for reference):
step one:
The magnesium rod to withstand the bottom edge of the ground, with the blade on the bar scraped some Xu magnesium shavings, it should be noted that in scraping magnesium shavings, the blade should be perpendicular to the magnesium rod, and then scraped magnesium chips integrated A small pile of near flammable materials (paper leaves, boughs, etc.).
Step two:
The side of the magnesium rod to withstand the ground was about 45 degrees from the magnesium scraps just scraped about 2.5 cm, with the blade quickly scrape in order to effectively scraping out the Mars, the blade with the scratch surface to the vertical direction. So will be able to cause Mars, and the magnesium shavings burning, to provide you with a white flame.
Use tips:
Please put the magnesium rod on the floor of the small depression, will not be affected by wind.
Humid (not wet) combustibles can also ignite.
Ignited plastic can be used as a smoke signal in critical condition (if necessary, you can use your car tire to burn, causing the attention of airplanes.
If you can not find a good combustible, you can use the following items:
● a small part of their clothes (such as: pocket lined, handkerchief scarves, etc.).
● Vehicle seat cushion.
● Open the hood, use oil-soaked cloth to light, can also be used to make smoke signal.
<Warning>
1. Because gasoline is too dangerous, you can use kerosene and diesel fuel combustion.
2. not a toy, please stay away from children.
