Make a Mini FIRE PISTON On Lathe
Вставка

- In this video, I made a mini fire piston used for lighting a fire with air pressure. It is especially useful if you go camping in nature and you want to start a fire like a pro :P
Solidworks files and drawings will be available soon on my website.

Nice work. молодец. Two updates to try. Move the o-ring back 1 cm. For the char-cloth slot try drilling a 7.5mm diam x 5mm deep hole in the end of the piston instead of the slot. If you want to see how well it works try some shaved bark from a tree and see if it ignites.
Excellent work. Skilled craftsman. With respect from Russia.
Well done, nice project. You are fortunate to have access to the correct tools necessary to produce the fire piston. The exterior grooves make it look even better. And making the end cap removable is an excellent idea so you easily clean the cylinder out when it becomes necessary. Good job!
+Clark Eugene thanks Clark!
two minor adjustments to your design would include: 1) move O-ring back a bit .. 1/8" or so should keep it away from ember, and
2) put a chamfer on the open end of the cylinder and also on the piston end of the knob, to reduce chance of pinches and to facilitate ability of pulling them apart easier. beyond that, excellent work.
The bore is too loose 10mm with a 9 mm piston!!!!!!!
Very awesome project that's basic on the lathe. I will try to make one this summer, huge thanks for making the video :)
+420Alt thanks! Send me some pictures when you make it 💪
Excellent beginner project.
That's a grate result man! :) Who needs matches or a lighter if you have, so cool thing. It's definitely a valuable asset of any survival kit.
+Dural Metalurg definitely! thanks you
What a funky stuff.
Cheers from Indonesia
You should be tapping and threading with the job in the lathe. Use the tail stock to keep the taps and dies centered.
thanks for suggestion! I tried that but the force was too high for the motor of the lathe to thread it. Maybe I should consider buying new set of taps and dies ;)
I think what he is referring to is to keep the workpiece chucked in the lathe and and have the tap or die mounted to the tailstock and manually rotate the lathe by hand while keeping slight pressure on the knob that advances the quill on the tailstock. The threads will cut perfectly considering the headstocl and tailstock are in relatively perfect alignment.
you need to move the seal far from end of piston so the seal not easy to burn
Nice design and workmanship. Thanks.
Truly appreciated ...
Keep making this kind of video
Nice job!
The piston tends to bounce backwards when put in , is there a spring or something?
The air inside the piston is compressed and acts like a spring
Hello from iraq well done
I'm surprised the o-ring doesn't slide out of the groove when doing this. I have tried similar designs, but I find that the o-ring keeps sliding out of the groove.
That is because the bore is 10mm and the piston is 9mm it is too loose in the bore !! If you make the piston a sliding fit the O ring will not come out, bad design:-((
What are the lengths of the rods? How far does the inner extend into the tube? And, what is the clearance from tip to cap when the inner is all the way in?
Why have the threaded end cap? Why not one piece for the cylinder?
This is really very useful in traveling!
+BUK thanks Buk!
Cool little device!
+Dark Horse Woodworking thanks man!
Хорошая идея, хороший английский...)
Bom trabalho.
Obrigado por compartilhar.
Nice work
That is really cool
+freiermann7 glad you like it ;)
Very nice, keep quality videos coming!
+Meep thanks, I will do best!
How much would you charge to make a piston for a Smith-Miller Hauler Truck? I can provide the dimension information along with some photos. Thank you for your time.
Can you please share the solid works part file of both the parts.
Can we use iron rod?
Wouldn't having a box of matches be easier and cheaper?
Maybe but no where near as much fun! Don’t be a kill joy! 🤣
that is very cool. :)
Please make a fire pin for beretta pistol bcz its very difficult
Do you sell it?
is it patented? u should do that unless your ok with other people selling them
the cost for the process of patenting designs is often not worth it as an indipendent craftsman. People are gonna come up with ideas all the time, to pretend that whatever idea you are thinking, is not being thought about by at least 7 people in the exact same moment, is pure ego. I'd say unless you're running a large scale production with billions to throw at lawyers etc, just let people make and sell whatever. No matter how original you think you are, you're not. Trust me I've been inventing stuff, only to find out they are not that special compared to existing things; making them uneligible for patent.
Even if they were, I'd make more money making a video about it on youtube, than I would if I went through the patent making process
Plus, there is an added value to the market. That is, since you're invention is in the public domain; people can be free to modify, improve, and therefore indirectly acting as your free outsource-R&D, that you can also further improve upon and sell from your own store.
Why didn't I think of that! Oh yeah. I have no lathe, nor any useable resources to speak of.
wonderful problem is most people don't have a lathe. Do one that you don't need a lathe to make it. 😊
+LookUpTV hi, you can buy an acrilic rod and pipe that matches the diameter. Check out @kingofrandom if you want to know how it is made :)
Many people DO have a lathe! Question is: Why don’t you? Have a good day! 😀👍
beautifull ¡¡ ♥♥♥
+play covers thanks !
Why is everybody putting the coal in the rod and not in the cylinder? Is there a reason for that?
How would you use the coal if it is buried inside a 12cm cylinder?
Not to burst your bubble, but I think the whole idea of "fire kits" is that you can make them from simple found or inexpensive items .
When the shite hits the fan and there's no electricity to power your lathe, ???
That's the whole point of prepping for when SHTF
Gobek api the Malay fire 🔥 started

But how do you trim a 12 mm rod down to 15 mm?
With great skill passed down through generations of engineers. It's not easy at all.
If I only had that kind of family heritage, I'd probably be trimming gold rods all day long.
Great.. Clicksprings Fire Piston Clone??
+Josemar Santos Great spot ;) A smaller version yea :)
I made mine in school
You should try selling it
That's Overrated that's overrated ;)
+That's Overrated maybe in the future ;)
Why do you say mm instead of thousandths?
Because he is using metric measurements millimeters!!!!!!
The fire is too near to the o-ring.
Make a video and show us how to do it...
Gobek api
Here is a related video on making char cloth from another you tuber: ua-cam.com/video/lFNhAJyys5M/v-deo.html

uh, I don't have a lathe.
This chap is not a good workman he is trying to make money from UA-cam by having a lot of likes👎👎👎
Sell to me lol❤
How did I know you were going to be Russian.
กากสุ้ของไทยได้ป่าว
it looks like a kubaton
Do you sell it?
