This weeks experiment is lighting cotton wool using a fire piston. The apparatus is often called Hyman fire piston - I have no idea who he was - he did not invent it as examples have been found from many ancient cultures

  • Power of fire! And a comment from Laurence Hymans son! Amazing stuff from Drfoxy

  • It was designed by my dad, Laurence Hyman. Correct, fire pistons were invented hundreds of years ago, but this version (designed some time in the 80's) , using those materials was designed for educational purposes, hence the transparant tube.
