Tesla: A self-charging electric lighter that works everywhere.


Looks nothing unusual, right?

An interesting device has recently been put up on Kickstarter, which at first glance does not stand out. We are talking about a lighter, which, in fact, is an interesting gadget.

The fact is that this is an electric lighter that charges by itself, to get the right charge you just need to shake it. And that’s all - you can light it (set fire to dry moss somewhere in a place remote from the nearest settlement). By the way, the description of the lighter is one of the shortest on Kickstarter.

How it works?


According to the developers, the system is a combination of electromagnetic induction and an electric arc in an aluminum-magnesium case. As mentioned above, all you need to do is shake the lighter before use.



Electromagnetic induction . The system generates electricity when a neodymium magnet moves with diametral magnetization in a spiral.

Electric arc . One shake generates a charge that is sufficient for the operation of an electric arc lasting 3 seconds.

The lighter can operate almost in the temperature range from -40 ° C to + 50 ° C. The

aluminum-magnesium lighter body is impact-resistant and does not corrode with time. Well, the rubber inserts protect the inside of the lighter from water and howls (IP55w).

Why can I use such a device? For banal cigarette lighting. In addition, you can set fire to paper - this is very useful for those people who have to make bonfires. Incendiary mixture is not always, matches or ordinary lighters also tend to run out or deplete their resource. And here is an almost eternal device that is not afraid of water, dust, or shock. And he does not need external power.

How much does it cost?


Now on Kickstarter you can buy a lighter for $ 25 on pre-order. There are several more options to order a custom device.

Shipment of the first batch of devices is scheduled for April 2016.

Note: Tesla is a device that is not yet on sale. In the assortment of the company "Dadget" Tesla is also not.
