Lighters can be divided into flint steel wheel lighters, piezoelectric ceramic lighters, magnetic induction lighters, solar lighters and microcomputer lighters. The gas used in lighters is mainly combustible gas.

Early use of gasoline. Butane, propane and liquefied petroleum gas are widely used today. They are pressurized and filled into the gas storage tank. Once released into the air, they absorb heat, vaporize and expand rapidly, and are easily ignited.

The original lighters came from flint rifles. When the spring-loaded trigger is pulled, it hits the flint to generate sparks and ignite the dry leaves.

Extended data:

The fuel used in lighters is mainly combustible gas. Gasoline was widely used in the early days, but it is rarely used now because of its peculiar smell. Butane, propane and liquefied petroleum gas are widely used.

The lighter is pressurized and filled into a closed air box. Once released into the air, it absorbs heat, vaporizes, expands rapidly and is easy to ignite. Butane used in lighters is n-butane.

Modern lighters can be divided into liquid lighters and gas lighters according to the fuel used; According to the ignition mode, it can be divided into grinding wheel lighter and electronic lighter.
