Lighting a fire may be the easiest thing to do when you have matches or a lighter. But the game completely changes when you have to light a fire without them. In such situations, this clip of a man starting a fire using a hammer and some science can come in handy. A video of a man setting fire with a hammer is going viral on the internet. The clip shows a man breaking a piece of wood before placing the piece of paper on a large and sturdy metal platform. Then he takes a hammer and a metal rod and starts banging it with the hammer, rotating the rod with each blow. He touches the rod with a piece of paper, which catches fire after a few blows. He then places the burnt paper on crushed pieces of wood, which also ignite the fire.
“How a hammer can generate enough heat to start a fire,” read the caption posted with the video.
