- 3. LighterA油lighter油is a portable device used to generate a油flame. It consists of a metal or plastic container filled with a flammable fluid or pressurized liquid gas, a means of油ignition, and some provision for extinguishing the flame.
- 4. History of Lighterhe forerunner of the modern lighter was the flintlock pistol, which was based on the age-old way of igniting combustible material - striking flint against iron. More modern lighters, using flint to ignite gasoline or other flammable liquid, appeared in the 1800s. In 1911, the automatic lighter was introduced. It ignited at the push of a button, and was fueled by gasoline or methanol.
- 5. During the World War I, the lighter development stopped and thousands of glowing wood lighters were manufactured. Trench-bound soldiers avoided flame lighters for fear that the flame would be spotted by sharpshooters. The development resumed when the war ended.

- 7. The patenting of油Ferrocerium油(often misidentified as油flint) by油Carl Auer von Welsbach油in 1903 has made modern lighters possible. When scratched, it produces a large spark which is responsible for lighting the fuel of many lighters, and is suitably inexpensive for use in disposable items.
