Solarspark fire lighter

[Wave Man]

another interesting fire starter, the Solarspark fire lighter is a parabolic fire lighter, concentrating the suns light to get things burning. I tend to use char cloth in mine, and it embers up in seconds, very easy.

this is mine,

and the day that I used My Solarspark
