Physical lighters

_________________________________________________________________

The Chimney• hot air rises• laminar airflow• needs additional lighters• Stack effect



6

Electrical lighters

_________________________________________________________________

• heating coil• placed under the coal• emission-free• does not affect the taste



7

Chemical lighters

_________________________________________________________________

• liquid: denatured alcohol• viscous: kerosene, petroleum, n-paraffin• solid: wax, wood fiber

3 Conditions:

• highly inflammable• burn long enough to ignite the coal



8

Modelization

The objective of this project was to design a product capable to hold the pieces of woods in a pyramidal way.



9

Modelization

On that purpose we designed a structure capable to hold the pieces of wood in a pyramidal way. Moreover, to improve the flammability of the structure, our product will be made in wood or in a flammable material.

You are free to add coal, paper or smaller pieces of wood.
