zippo lighter By: Mori and Ariel

A zippo lighter is a portable device used to create a flame, and to ignite a variety of combustible materials, such as cigars, gas stoves, fireworks, candles or cigarettes. It consists of a metal or plastic container filled with a flammable fluid or pressurized liquid gas, a means of ignition to produce the flame, and some provision for extinguishing the flame. Alternatively, a lighter can be powered by electricity, using an electric arc or heating element to ignite the target.

In 1903 has made modern lighters possible. When scratched it produces a large spark which is responsible for lighting the fuel of many lighters, and is suitably inexpensive for use in disposable items.

In 1910, Ronson released the first Pist-O-Liter, and in 1913, the company developed its first lighter, called the “Wonderlite”, which was a permanent match style of lighter.

In the 1950s, there was a switch in the fuel of choice from naphtha to butane, as butane allows for a controllable flame and has less odour. This also led to the use of piezoelectric spark, which replaced the need for a flint wheel in some lighters and was used in many Ronson lighters.

In modern times most of the world’s lighters are produced in France, the United States, China, and Thailand.

Conclusion: The Zippo Lighter is very useful for many uses and SAFE!!! We  recomend you to use it because when you use this lighter you can’t burn your hands by mistake.
