What we really need: A 'free energy' cigarette lighter. (No, really. :)

In Response To: This process sounds terribly inefficient. A lot more energy will be used than will be available in the produced fuel (MrFusion)

Hi, MrFusion -

Thanks. :) I've been thinking about all the old electronics, piling up in landfills (or simply in piles) in other countries, and thinking about all that plastic swirling around in the ocean...and all the cell phones we're seeing folks in TV shows and movies, tossing into trash cans, and...

It got me thinking about all the "disposable" BiC lighters (not to mention BiC ballpoint pens and razors, etc.) Goodness, how much non-biodegradable trash have those otherwise wonderful inventions accounted for?

In the case of the lighters, we're also talking about a probably non-trivial release of butane into the environment and being breathed-in by the users.

New on the scene are 'plasma arc' lighters - rechargeable by way of USB connection, so they're fuelless in that sense but still require charging from the outside.

Conceivably, if they're well-made and have a sufficiently long use life, those could replace disposable lighters for many applications, though not all.

They're not so good, for example, for lighting cigars - it's necessary to bring the thing you want to ignite into the small space where the arc is, and, in most current models, that space is too small for the tip of a cigar.

They _can_ light a candle, if it's out in the open enough to bring the arc to the wick. I suppose they can start a campfire well enough - since they're flameless, they're unaffected by wind and rain, but probably you'd have to bring initial tinder into the space where the arc occurs and go from there. (?)

And then there's the whole question of short or long power outages. When your arc lighter runs out of juice, if it can't be recharged it's just a somewhat wimpy paperweight. :)

Anyway, it would be nice if someone could come up with a fuelless more-or-less permanent lighter, so we'd stop filling the garbage with an endless stream of disposable ones. :)
