How to drill wood for fire, and what is the principle of drilling wood for fire?

The first type: the classical method of drilling wood for fire.

This is one of the most widely understood, but at the same time the most difficult. First of all, find the right wood for drill boards, dried aspen, willow, etc. will be a good choice because of their softer texture. Then find a suitable branch to make a drill bit, which is relatively hard, and the conditions are not as harsh as the drill plate.

Then, drill the edge of the drill plate into a small inverted "V" shaped groove. Finally, put a flammable velvet or dead leaf under the drill plate and drill vigorously with both hands until the fire is drilled.

The second type: the classic two-person drilling method.

The other steps are the same as the first method, except that this time two people work together. One person fastens the drill shaft to the drill plate with a grooved wooden cover, and the other person wraps the drill shaft several times with a rope or rattan with more friction and then pulls it back and forth quickly. This two-player co-op is much more efficient than the first one.

The third type: simple planer fire method.

Dig a long groove in the softwood plank, place flammable velvet in front of the groove, and push it forward with a hardwood strip until the spark ignites the velvet.

Fourth: Iroquois fire.

Invented by the Iroquois, this device is quite efficient at igniting fire. One end of the drill shaft is wound with two ropes, and the other end of the rope is fixed to a rigid transverse plate. A hardwood wheel is used as an accelerator in the middle of the drill shaft.

When the rope is wound and pressed down on the transverse plate, the drill shaft can be rotated extremely fast and sparks will be drilled.

The fifth: bowstring drilling method.

Similar to the second type of double drilling, except that it can be done by one person. The drill shaft is likewise covered with a fluted lid and then pulled quickly with a bowstring-like tool.

Sixth: the classic fire retention method of the cave age.

Whether it is a fire made by drilling wood or any other method, a suitable medium is required to cooperate with the combustion of the fire. When the surrounding environment is very humid, it is difficult for the general material to ignite. Coiled into a bird's nest shape with dry material, hollowed out in the middle to keep as fluffy as possible, and then covered with a layer of velvet.

This allows it to ignite even in wet weather.

Seventh: flint fire method.

This kind of is not very high-tech, using flint and steel to hit hard materials, such as steel knives, granite, and so on. The flint is topped with flammable velvet or charred cloth, and the blow ignites. There is one thing to note here:

The more angular the stone is against the flint, the better, when the edge of a hard stone is too rounded, you need to break it on the boulder so that the sharp edges and corners can be revealed.

The principle of drilling wood for fire is friction to generate heat.

The principle is that the hardwood stick rubs against the wood or drills into it, and the invention of drilling wood for fire is in ancient Chinese myths and legends, in ancient times, the area of Shangqiu, Henan Province is a forest, and the Suiren who live in the forest often prey on wild beasts, and often produce sparks when the stones that hit the beasts collide with the mountain stones. Inspired by this, the Fusiliers struck stones against stones, and the resulting sparks ignited the velvet to create fire.

This method of making fire is still used in the countryside of Shangqiu 30 years ago, at that time, there was a saint who was inspired by the spark from the bird pecking at the flint, so he broke off the flint branches, drilled the wood to make fire, he taught this method to people, human beings have since learned to make fire artificially, use fire to bake food, lighting, heating, smelting, etc., human life has entered a new stage, people call this saint Suiren, worship him as "the head of the three emperors".

What was the first thing that humans did with fire after discovering that they drilled wood to make fire, I tell you.

Here's how to drill wood for fire:1. Choose two pieces of wood. One piece of wood serves as the base plate and the other wood serves as the drill part.

2. The drill part must be a wooden strip with appropriate diameter and thickness. Put the drill part horizontally on the tung sedan chair, and the vertical bureau is large in the bottom plate**.

3. Use the hand drill to pass through the drill sail containing the position**. One person holds the drill and the other sits on the ground, underneath the drill, with their knees held high and their hands holding the baseplate. Start rotating the drill and apply downward force so that the drill keeps rotating towards the baseplate.

4. Rotate the drill continuously to make the drill part rub and generate heat, until you see the sawdust coming out and generating sparks.

5. When the spark falls on the flammable material, blow the air flow by hand to spread the flame, and finally ignite the whole fire.

Drilling wood for fire, refers to the hardwood stick rubbing against the wood or drilling into it, relying on friction to make fire, this method of fire refers to the world 30 years ago in the Shangqiu countryside still people used.

We know that in ancient times, there was no fire on the earth, our ancestors had to eat raw meat and drink raw water, and over time, they discovered fire and put it into use, so how did drilling wood for fire come about? I'll tell you about it!

01 Drilling wood for fire**In ancient Chinese myths and legends, it refers to the hardwood stick rubbing against the wood or drilling into it, and relying on friction to make fire. In ancient times, our ancestors inadvertently discovered that it was okay to rub wood against each other, so the Suiren clan was inspired from here to hit the stone with a stone, and ignited the velvet with the sparks generated, and made a fire to serve.

02 This method of making fire is still in use in the countryside of Shangqiu thirty years ago, according to legend, it is a saint who taught people to use it, since then human beings have learned to make fire artificially, use fire to roast food, lighting, heating, smelting, etc., human life has entered a new stage, people call this saint Suiren, worship him as "the head of the three emperors".

03 The greatest contribution of the Suiren clan to people is the discovery of drilling wood for fire, but this Suiren clan finally merged with another ethnic group on Kunlun Mountain and merged into a clan, this clan is called the Qiang clan, and this ethnic group still exists today. Later, the Suiren clan disappeared, but the Qiang people have always returned to the land.

The operation method of drilling wood for fire is as follows:

The first step is to prepare: a dry wooden stick (peeled) with a length of 30cm and a width of about 2cm, grind jade on the stone with one end (important), a 3cm thick dry wooden board (if there is no Huai Shelter Bucket, find dry wood and use the kettle to split both sides, take the middle piece), a handful of hay (hold the grass into a ball and set aside), and set up dry firewood for later use!

Step 2: Place the plank horizontally on the ground, step on the side of the plank with your left foot (fix the plank), use the end of the wooden stick jade to start drilling in the upper right corner of the board, and pay attention not to drill on the edge of the board, leaving about 3cm. Wait for a small depression to be drilled and stop.

Step 3: Use a knife to cut the upper edge of the board into a triangular notch. Place a piece of paper under the notch in the board, or dry bark if you don't have paper.

Step 4: Continue to drill hard in the recess with a wooden stick, and it is better not to stop in the middle (the most important, the most difficult, the most strenuous )! When the sticks are about to drill through the boards, if nothing happens, you will see a lot of wood chips that have been drilled out, smoking and falling from the notches on the paper.

Step 5: Carefully collect the wood chippers, gather them into a clump, blow lightly, you will see sparks coming out, then put the wood chips into the ball of hay, blow slowly, be careful to blow the lead mill, and after a while, the hay will be on fire.

Drilling wood for fire is generated according to the principle of frictional heat generation. Because the wood itself is rough, when rubbing, the friction is high and generates heat, and the wood itself is flammable, so fire will be formed.

The invention of drilling wood for fire is based on the myths and legends of ancient China. Legend has it that 10,000 years ago, the Suiren clan invented drilling wood to make fire in Suiming Kingdom (now Shangqiu, Henan).
