Man's Tutorial On Starting Fire Is For Time You Don't Have Lighter Around

Starting a fire can be the easiest thing to do when you have a matchbox or lighter. But the game changes completely when you have to ignite fire without them. In such situations, this clip of a man starting a fire using a hammer and some science could come in handy. The video of a man igniting fire with the help of a hammer is going viral on the internet. The clip shows a man shattering a piece of wood before placing a piece of paper on a large and sturdy metal platform. Then he takes a hammer and a metal rod and begins beating it with the hammer, flipping the rod with each stroke. He touches the rod to the piece of paper, which catches fire after a few blows. Then he places the lit-up paper on the crushed pieces of wood, which catch fire as well.

"How a hammer can generate enough heat to start a fire," read the caption posted with the video.

Another user wrote, "This is not as easy as it looks, because it needs good strength and frequency, and most iron alloys this thick would get too soft and fall apart before reaching the temperature to actually start the fire, but in principle it's possible".
