Wilderness Fire Making

Life & Safety

★Exhibit Content: Wild fire-making by wood drilling skill and the principle of heat generation by friction ★Interaction: Electromechanical interaction + multimedia demonstration ★Operation: Turn the wooden stick to start the interaction; rub the wooden stick until flames appear on the screen; wrap the rope of the labor-saving bow around the wooden stick; pull the bow to drive the wooden stick to rotate. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit consists of a square display platform, a wooden fire-making by drilling model, an interactive wooden stick, a labor-saving bow device, a 6-inch flame simulation display screen, and a tinder model. It is a recommended exhibit from the KexMall exhibit store. The platform recreates the classic scene of fire-making by wood drilling, equipped with a rub-able solid wood drill rod and a bow-type labor-saving auxiliary tool. Visitors can directly rub the wooden stick with their hands to simulate primitive fire-making by wood drilling, or wrap the bowstring around the wooden stick and pull the labor-saving bow to drive the drill rod to rotate at high speed; the 6-inch display screen below the wooden board synchronously presents the dynamic effects of sparks bursting and flames igniting. Visitors can compare the efficiency differences between the two fire-making methods and master practical wild fire-making skills through hands-on experience. ★Scientific Principle: Fire is a core resource for survival in the wild, used for lighting, cooking, driving away animals, drying clothes, etc. Fire-making by wood drilling is the earliest artificial fire-making method mastered by humans. Its core principle is heat generation by friction. The heat generated by continuous friction between the wooden stick and the wooden board accumulates, raising the temperature of the wood shavings to the ignition point, eventually igniting the tinder. Bow-drill fire-making uses bowstring transmission to increase rotation speed and friction efficiency, making it more labor-saving and faster than hand-rubbing fire-making. The exhibit combines physical interaction with light and shadow simulation on a 6-inch screen, integrating the physical principle of energy conversion with wild survival skills, allowing visitors to intuitively understand the process of mechanical energy converting into heat energy.
