Start Your Fire With a Laser This Winter

in this instructable you'll learn how to light a fire with a laser!

You will need:

1. Laser and the laser mod found here:

https://www.instructables.com/id/Laser-cutter-mod/

2. Match head

3. Blitz/ fire starters or a candle (then you'll need multiple match heads)

Place the match head(s) on the fire starter of your choice

First try and find the laser mod's focal point. (where the beam is the smallest) my laser mod's focal point was about 3-5cm away from the laser

Make sure there isn't any wind or light drafts ( this may prevent you from lighting the match head and/or blow the lit match head out.

Always wear safety goggles

focus the laser mod's beam on the match head ( the focal point, where the dot is the smallest)

Wait until the match starts smoking, the smoke should start to get thicker.

Within about 4 seconds of heavier white smoke the match head should light and start your fire starter thus starting your fire

Fire can kill

Make sure any objects that are not meant to burn are far away

Only start fires outside or in a fire place with a fire extinguisher near by

I will not be held liabile for any damages or loss sustained during the build and/or operation of the product everything you do with the product is entirely at your own risk!
