可乐罐+巧克力=燃火

Thu, 16 Nov 2006 02:17:39 GMT

在网上看到这样一个帖子：可乐罐+巧克力=燃火

我们知道可乐罐或者其他饮料罐的底面是内凹的，这样我们就可以利用曲面聚光的原理来引火。但是一般底面都很粗糙，并且都有打上生产日期之类的字码，严重影响了聚光效果。

这个时候，如果你恰好带着巧克力，那就派上大用了。因为可以用巧克力来给底面抛光，巧克力越纯效果越好，所以不建议用糖果肉巧克力。

巧克力抛光法：

先在罐底上涂抹薄薄一层巧克力，然后用布擦拭刷磨，一边磨一边不时得加入新巧克力，左手酸了换右手，右手酸了换左手，这样大概持续一个小时左右就可以抛光成亮亮的镜面了。当然也可以用牙膏来刷底面，效果也不错。如果你嫌时间长，那就要借助专业的清洁剂了，几分钟即可。

下面附上效果对比图，左边是抛光前，右边是抛光后，很亮吧

之所以我们看到的可乐铝罐底面是磨砂处理过的亚光，就是因为厂商怕罐底聚光效果带来的意外(火灾等)。

准备工作完毕，开始生火：

找个阳光直射的地方，把易燃物比如报纸对着可乐罐曲面镜的焦点上。(当光线聚集在报纸上最小的一点的时候，这处就是焦点)

如果没有报纸，你还可以利用刚才擦拭罐底用剩下的巧克力来生火哦。用木棒沾一点点放罐底前几厘米就好了，等几十秒的功夫就可以引燃，如图所示:

记下吧，或许在你身处野外，而刚好没有打火机的时候这个方法会有用的。

最后要注意的是：

千万不能吃擦磨过可乐罐底的巧克力！因为这些巧克力已经沾染上铝了，那是有毒的！

第一次煮饭

Thu, 19 Jan 2006 00:17:32 GMT

今天早上凌晨的时候，拿锅子煮了饭（是用生的米煮）。

在整个烧饭过程中，锅中的水铺开了三次！突然发现，原来煮米的水有股奶香味。~~lll

也在这个过程中，觉悟到：发明电饭锅的人，所作的贡献不亚于爱因斯坦！
