Electric arc lighters principle

One end of a piece of piezoelectric material is connected with a thin wire, which forms a gap with the metal material at the gas outlet of the lighter, and the impact of the impact block is synchronized with the opening of the gas source through a mechanical mechanism. When the impact block hits the other end of the piezoelectric material block with a certain impact energy or force, the internal molecules of the piezoelectric material will vibrate strongly, and the vibration energy will be transmitted to the wire. Since the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the wire to the cross-sectional area of the piezoelectric material block is very large, the vibration of the molecules in the wire has a great tendency to strengthen.

When the strong vibration of the terminal molecules of the wire hits the air molecules at the gap, the air molecules also generate strong vibrations. The trajectory of the vibration of air molecules is the arc light we see. These arc lights are actually the motion trajectories of the air molecules vibrating when the wire molecules vibrate strongly and transmit energy to the metal material at the outlet of the lighter, indicating that the air molecules at the gap vibrate very strongly. According to the theory of vibration, strong vibration means that the temperature of the material is very high. When the temperature exceeds the ignition point of the liquefied gas in the lighter, the gas running out will be ignited to form a flame, and the flame is the image of the violently vibrating gas molecules.

Are electric arc lighters safe?

Because the voltage is high and the current is small, as long as the air is broken down and an arc is generated. These arcs are typically 2.5 amps. Occasionally being electrocuted can refresh the mind. But the arc burn is still quite painful. However, it will not cause death.

Electric arc lighters manufacturer recommendation

There is an excellent candle lighter manufacturer - Fukuda Lighters Co., Ltd. that sells high quality electric arc lighters. Using plasma flameless arc technology, upgraded dual arc with exposed ignition contacts, which will increase ignition area and speed. The ignition speed is 3 times faster than that of a single arc lighter, and it is also suitable for more application scenarios. It has many characteristics such as energy concentration, smokeless, odorless and windproof.
