Fire and water: mortal enemies? Not so fast! Here are 5 ways to start a fire, using water.

I figured out how to make fire and water work together. My friends at Volkswagen, who made this video possible, figured out a way to make a German-engineered car, that’s a blast to drive, also a smart choice.

Some quick links to a few of the materials I used:

Project Inspired By:

My own creative adaptations to previous projects, and the picture frame lens was inspired by www.greenpowerscience.com with their Aqua lens video: http://youtu.be/f_zKk03CJKU

Projects & pictures that inspired this video:

#1: Original idea adaptation after experimenting with water bottles
#2: Original idea adaptation after experimenting with water bottles (I also demonstrated this method with urine in another video: https://goo.gl/CIUGRl#3: GreenPowerScience http://youtu.be/f_zKk03CJKU
#4: Original idea adaptation from experimenting with water bottles, and looking for a bottle shaped like a sphere. The POM bottles are perfect!
#5: Original idea after experimenting with the reactions between water and sodium metal in a previous video: https://goo.gl/AhD0lQ

Project History & More Info:

In this video you’ll see how to;

– Start a fire using an old light bulb and water
– Get tinder smoldering using plastic wrap and water
– Make a hands free liquid lens with a picture frame and plastic wrap
– Ignite tinder using a water bottle
– Start a blazing fire by reacting water and sodium

I love the idea that simple resources can be utilized to help meet our basic survival needs. Water is about as basic and abundant as it gets. To use it as a liquid lens you just need to find a way to make it round, clear, and hope for a sunny day! Then, your imagination is the only limitation. 🙂
