History of Lighter

The lighter / Marxist / gas lighter was found in 1816. The first lighter-called "Dobereiner's Lamp" (named after its creator, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner). But his lighter did not use butane or oil as a fuel, hydrogen is used. Another difference is that these lighters used platinum as a catalyst (used to start a chemical change of the fuel for the fire) than flint, or a piezoelectric spark.

smokers generally are widely used to match flint lighters / Marxist / gas lighter is becoming more popular. In 1908, flint lighters smooth enough and small enough to fit in a pocket. flint specifically tailored to match go into mass production today. Obviously, flint is a fraction of the cost of platinum. Using platinum as a catalyst to fade out and flint taking place. It lit firewood that will light a fire that trigger lighter.

Lighter Development / Marxist / gas lighter accelerated during World War I.

In the 1920s, matches are still somewhat of a luxury for smokers. It would be a severe setback for the average blue-collar workers who smoke. But when the 1930's came, a man named George G. Blaisdell saw a lighter awkward Austria has room for improvement and act on it.

He is improving ergonomics mild cases, so it was not awkward to hold. Then he designed a perforated cap to the axis, which continues windproof lighter it! In addition, it modifies the space to be more fuel efficient, and adding a hinged flip-top lid. And voila! Zippo lighters into the world / Marxist / gas lighter.

After the advent of Zippo, other companies began to appear lighter. All competition causes prices to drop dramatically. Lighters became the hot new thing and very collectible. Ronson made their first automatic lighter in the late 1920s, but did not gain popularity until the advent of Zippo. Dunhill become more aggressive in the production of their matches. St Dupont Lighter / Marxist / lighter gas is added to the product line. Also, Colibri lighters start making / Marxist / their first automatic lighter.

Fuel used in most lighters / Marxist / gas lighter in the 1930s is naphtha, oily liquid derived from petroleum. In 1930-40's, a ground-breaking innovation to light up. It's hard to say who conceived of the idea, but Lighters Ronson began producing mass produce used butane as fuel, not naphtha.

A technology that has also become faster after the first World War - piezoelectric. Like the lighter, piezoelectric discovered in the early 1800's, but its full potential was first realized only in 1917, by French scientists. Ronson used piezoelectric effect is used in this machine, to make an igniter for lighters / Marxist / gas lighter that converts energy into electrical spark.

Since the late 1950s, when the piezoelectric spark is introduced, matches have been used by almost all smokers. Now, there is a light producer more than ever. There are also many different types of fire. Apart from the natural fire, now there lighters / Marxist / gas lighter that produces flame torch and multi-jet and even fire.

Today smokers might choose a different kind of fire as a matter of preference or because of what they are smoking (pipe or cigar). Cigar smokers usually use torch lighters and pipe smokers would probably prefer a natural flame lighter.
