Flameless Lighter

Humans may have been lighting fires since we lived in caves and dined on woolly mammoth, but now there’s 21st century way to create a flame.

A new lighter uses electricity to ignite, and it’s claimed to be the first flameless gadget of its kind.

The device, called the Illume ArcLighter, creates a ‘super high-intensity’ electrical arc and contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery so users will never run out of fuel at a tricky moment again.
