The situation is like in a typical American action movie of the mid-eighties - a cool commando is thrown into impenetrable green distances, twilight is gathering, bloodthirsty monsters have climbed out of their holes, and in order to escape, you need to make a fire, but as evil everything that fire gives out is lost. There is only one match left. As a result, the morning did not come for him, since he could not light this very match. What to do, non-creative mentality. And so that this does not happen to anyone else, we read and remember how you can light it up.
Instructions
Step 1
It would seem, what's wrong with that? Lighting a match is easy. Quite right. There is really nothing complicated here. We take it out of the box, with a little pressure we draw it along the sidewall of the same notorious box, and the job is done. The match is on.
Step 2
That being said, in ideal conditions. And if you consider that the conditions are not quite ideal? Let's say we lost the boxes. And in my pocket lies a lonely match accidentally dropped out. Then the plan of action is as follows: we recall the cartoons of the early or mid-eighties, where the heroes, in order to set fire to the fuse of dynamite, hold a match over some incomprehensible place, which includes both a part of the thigh and the sole of the boots. Analyzing. The head of a match consists of special chemicals that include sulfur and saltpeter. By themselves, they burn at a relatively low temperature. Therefore, relatively little heat is needed to light a match. Such heat is obtained by rubbing the head of a match against the rough surface of the box. Logically, a match can be struck on any rough surface. However, in fairness, it is worth noting that it should be a fine, rough surface.
Step 3
For example, iron will do. Just not smoothly polished. Take, say, at least the metal posts that hold the entrance visor or the iron door from the entrance. When rubbing the head of a match against this surface, the temperature will be sufficient for ignition. But you need to do it quickly (strike a match over the surface). The pressure on the match in this situation should be the same as is usually applied in order to light it on the boxes. Otherwise, either the head will fly around, or the match itself will break.
