A lighter is a portable device used to generate a flame. It consists of a metal or plastic container filled with a flammable fluid or pressurized liquid gas, a means of ignition, and some provision for extinguishing the flame.

The first lighters were invented in the 16th century and were converted flintlock pistols that used gunpowder. One of the first lighters was invented by a German Chemist named Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1823 and was often called Döbereiner's Lamp. This lighter worked by a reaction of hydrogen to platinum sponge, which gave off a great amount of heat. The device was very large and highly dangerous and fell out of production by the end of the 19th century.
The patenting of Ferrocerium (often misidentified as flint) by Carl Auer von Welsbach 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.
Using Carl Auer von Welsbach's flint, companies like Ronson were able to develop practical and easy to use lighters. 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.

During World War I, soldiers used wasted cartridges and glowing wooden blocks to make an improvised type of lighter instead of using matches because they feared that the initial spark or flare would alert sharp shooters to their position.

The Zippo lighter and company were invented and founded by George G. Blaisdell in 1932. The Zippo was noted for its reliability, "Life Time Warranty" and marketing as "Wind-Proof". Most early Zippos used naphtha as a fuel source.

In the 1950s there was a switch in fuel choice from naphtha to butane, as butane allows for a controllable flame and has less odor. 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 1973 BIC launched its first lighter design and in 1998 introduced the child-safety feature, a metal shield over the flint wheel, seen on all modern BICs. BIC lighters are made to be cheap and disposable.

  • No

  • are you retarted? (insert stewie meme here)

  • Fire can be lighted up by friction, one of the lighter have fuel but the small wheel is spoil and the other the small wheel is still functioning and it creates friction so when the friction and the fuel is mixed it will create fire.

  • Lol sooooo funny

  • Эдди, ты ебан чтоли??
