I have played with a number of "solar" fire starting methods
(all on this website):
There is a saying: "When all that you have is a hammer, the
whole world looks like a nail." Source unknown (to me
anyway!) So, after having spend a bit of time
playing with various ways to focus the sun's rays in order to
light tinder for fire, pretty soon the "filters" in my head
started to see lenses and parabolic or spherical reflectors
everywhere I went. I wonder if the
psychologists or psychiatrists have come up with a name for this
affliction!?! One morning, while having breakfast, I
started to look around the kitchen and decided that I would
spend the day trying to see how many "common" kitchen objects
could be used to start a fire - hence the title: Something's
burning in the kitchen.
Note - Every picture shows a working lens or
reflector. In all cases a coal was generated (note the
smoke in every photo). |
