If for some reason you find yourself in an extreme situation, for example, you get lost in the forest during a hiking trip, you can make a fire using what an ordinary tourist has with you, for example, using potatoes.
Instructions
Step 1
Take 1 potato, 2 toothpicks or wood chips, a knife, a teaspoon, a tube of toothpaste, salt, a little cotton wool and two wires are better from different metals, but you can only use copper.
Step 2
Cut a large potato in half.
Step 3
Carefully strip the ends of the wires with a knife.
Step 4
Pass both wires through one half of the potato.
Step 5
Use a spoon to make a dimple in the other half of the potato.
Step 6
Fill the resulting hole with toothpaste.
Step 7
Connect the other half of the potato so that both ends of the wire touch the toothpaste in the hole. Secure the structure with toothpicks or wood chips. The primitive electricity generator is ready.
Step 8
Wind a wad of cotton wool around one of the wires. Wait 10 minutes for your battery to charge.
Step 9
During this time, prepare a place for the future fire. Collect the wood and prepare the kindling: dry twigs, birch bark, dry leaves or grass. Build up the fire by placing the kindling fire under the wood.
Step 10
Bring the battery to the kindling by connecting the ends of the wires. A serious spark will arise, the strength of which is quite enough to set fire to your fire and save you from the cold and darkness.
Step 11
You will have a disposable generator, the charge may not be enough for the second spark. Therefore, be careful not to waste your precious energy. The science of survival is an important thing not only for fans of extreme tourism, it may well be useful to any person. No one knows what situation he may find himself in tomorrow, and sometimes health and even life depends only on his own skills and ingenuity. It may seem ridiculous to someone to get electricity from ordinary potatoes, but in a difficult situation it is such a simple device that can save you from serious trouble.
