make fire with a can.

make fire with a chocolate bar and and a can, provably it´s not easy, but it´s posible if you do exactly the proces taht we are going to explain . this proces has been invented by Andre Bourbeau 10 years ago.

you only need a coke can, a chocolate bar, a piece of paper or a tissue, and thin wood.

the idea is very easy, use the botton of the can like a mirror to concentrate sun energy in a small point, and transform this luminic energy in caloric energy

The key to this is the bottom of the coke can, which is ideal for reflecting and concentrating the sun's light and energy.

the botton of the can, must present a perfect condition and shiny enough to concentrate the sun's rays enough to ignite wood or paper.

to have this shiny surface or mirror, you must polish the button of the can.
For polishing the can, you needs to use the wrapper or a tissue in the process. Just rub chocolate on the bottom of the can, but not too much. and then use the wrapper to do the polishing. repeat the process for a several times, it will probably take ½-1 hour or more to finish the process.

to make fire, you need a sunny day, without sun it´s imposible make fire with this method.

whith one hand, take the can. It is important to orient the bottom of the can towards the sun, with the other and, take a piece of very thin a dried wood inside a piece of newspaper. focus reflected light to the wood during a enought time to start the ignition of fire.
