Fire Piston

The Fire Piston is a primitive fire starting device. In the mid 1850's, English explorers found it widely used by primitive tribes in the jungles of SE Asia- Borneo, Malaysia, Burma, Philipines. Unlike friction fire methods such as the bow drill, hand drill, fire saw, fire thong, or flint and steel, the Fire Piston operates by compression, like a diesel engine. Below are a few examples of the many Fire Pistons I've made in the past ten years. Download movie clips to see them in action.
