Subsequently, he found that tinder was ignited by the pump. Ruffo made an apparatus to study the phenomenon further, but his invention was not popularized. 185:, is very similar except that the pump also has valves and a hose to deliver compressed air as an output. In the case of the pump, the heating of the compressed air is an undesired side effect. In both fire piston and pumps, the mechanism and lubricants must be chosen to resist high peak temperatures and pressures. 166:
compression ratio, the final compressed volume of the tinder and air must be small relative to that of the length of the piston tube. These two factors together mean that only a tiny amount of tinder can be lit by a fire piston, but this can be sufficient to light other tinder, and in turn to light a larger fire.

The bamboo piston-bellows technology was also adopted early by the Chinese, replacing the indigenous Chinese leather-bellows technology completely. 93:

The fire piston is made deliberately narrow so that unaided human strength can exert enough force to compress the air in the cylinder to its fullest extent. To achieve a high

Rapid compression of a gas increases its pressure and its temperature at the same time. If this compression is done too slowly the heat will dissipate to the surroundings as the gas returns to thermal equilibrium with them. If the compression is done quickly enough, then there is no time for thermal

In 1802, a worker in St. Etienne, France, who had long been making improvements to air rifles, noticed that (1) when the gun was fired in the dark, it emitted a bright light, and (2) if there was lint present in the gun when the gun was pressurized, the lint would become scorched or even ignite.

It is recorded that the first fire piston made its wider debut in front of scientists in 1802, and it was patented in 1807 simultaneously in both England and France. Fire pistons, or "fire syringes" as they were called then, enjoyed a brief period of popularity in parts of Europe during the early

Whether the European fire pistons were influenced by the Southeast Asian fire pistons was a matter of debate. But Balfour (1908) and Fox (1969) have demonstrated convincingly that the European fire pistons were independently discovered via air guns. Fox, however, tries to argue that the Southeast

Fire pistons in Southeast Asia were variously constructed of bamboo, wood, metal, ivory, bone, and horn. The main tube was typically around 3.25 in (8.3 cm) long and 0.5 in (1.3 cm) in diameter, with a bore size around 0.375 in (0.95 cm). The end of the tube usually

The piston (or cylinder) has a handle on the end to allow a firm grip to be applied to it, or a large enough surface area to strike it sharply without causing pain, while the cylinder (or piston) is braced or slammed against a hard surface. The compression of the air when the piston is quickly

Word of these observations reached Messrs. Eynard, Haèz, and Gensoul, who confirmed them and publicized them. Joseph Mollet (1756–1829), a professor of physics in Lyon, learned of these facts and investigated them. In 1804, he presented his findings to the Academy of Lyon. See:
1045:"Specification of the Patent granted to Richard Lorentz, … for certain inventions (communicated to him by Foreigners residing abroad) of different Machines or Instruments, one of which will produce instantaneous Light, and the other instantaneous Fire. Dated February 5, 1807." 177:
