Usb Electronic Lighter

[Kum Dana]

Measuresmust be taken to prevent unintentional activation of the heating element while on board the aircraft. Examples of effective measures to prevent unintentional activation include, but are not limited to: removing the battery from the lighter; placing the lighter into a protective case; and/or using a protective cover, safety latch, or locking device on the lighter's activation button.

This has probably been discussed here before, but I searched and couldn't find it, please post a link to old discussion if know of one, the subject has come up recently elsewhere so I'm looking for some solid facts to pass on.

For those that don't know there is a legend from BITD that an electronic lighter, the kind that with a long shaft that you click the plastic button on the handle and it makes a spark to light BBQs etc, could be placed on the coin slot of an arcade game and used to click up credits. Now this is a very well known story worldwide and most believe it, I believed it also BITD, but now I'm going to call bullshit and I would like to know the opinion of game techs with electronics knowledge.

I say that although everyone knew about it I NEVER saw it work BITD, I actually tried it and found it didn't work but when you tell people they would always say "well it only works on some games". Why would that be? most coin mechs are very similar, surely if it ever worked people would not just use it to get free games, they would use it on cigarette machines to clean out the machine and make big money. Time and memory works in flexible ways, please only post that you saw it happen if you are REALLY sure, not just a vague thought that you might have seen it happen. Problem is that once someone says they saw it happen, or did it themselves, if you then state why it's impossible they will swear black and blue that you are wrong so that they can save face and not look like a bullshitter, this leads to doubt and the legend continues.

I am far from being an electronics expert, but I think technically it sounds impossible, I remember you could place your hand on the shaft and click the lighter and not get a shock, so what triggered the credit? AFAIK for it to work you would need the coin mech to not be grounded and be live connected to the circuit that registers the credit, then you would need a large (but not too large) charge to passed through the steel of the coin mech to register a credit, enough to give yourself a fair shock I imagine?

OK thanks for that answer Homepin, I do believe you and I know you would know how it works, but I'm a bit lost still. For it to work like that with the high voltage spark being applied to the outside of the coin mech, wouldn't that mean that if you inserted a coin normally when the coin moved the wire mech completing the circuit to register a credit that the current for that would be applied to the whole coin mech, potentially giving someone still touching the mech a bit of a buzz?

Updated the post with some pics - this also worked on older games with mechanical mechs such as frogger as the high voltage confused the input circuitry of the PCB and gave credits - not always, but let's face it, those using the method had nothing to lose and credits to gain - so they were pretty persistent when word got out.

This is what I was thinking, but if the voltage was able to pass through to the second part of the circuit that the wire hits to close the circuit then it would be the same as physically closing it wouldn't it? But that would mean there are some serious grounding issues in the mech, and applying the correct voltage to all that solid metal plate so that just the correct voltage passed through the circuit, hmmm I dunno?

I know for a fact that if you turned some machines on and off very quickly about a dozen times and then stop and check, there were sometimes 10's if not 99 credits. I guess the board would go in to meltdown. We used to do it on a regular basis ;) A real easy one to do was Space Invaders tabletops because it just looked as though you were sitting and having a game.

I'm not certain it is entirely a coin mech issue - as mentioned, I also suspect the high voltage spike directly affected the credit input to the PCB......this type of issue could not really be foreseen by the designers of these things back then.

Fact: I was a teenage arcade recidivist and used this technique to good effect on stand up Space Invader cabs. Didn't always work but was fruitful enough to pursue. We had my mates mums stove top lighter and also one that we pinched from a gas heater. Also used Spacies rapid on /off technique, had coins on strings - not that successful as you lost many a coin and did a good line in coins cut from lead flashing sheet which was probably the most successful. I remember a great run using these on the long line of Spacies at Central railway station.

You have to remember the piezo element throws out a HUGE voltage spike that jumps a gap of up to 10mm - this is more than enough to fly around inside the cabinet and affect sensitive (low voltage) electronics.

Trailing off topic a bit but who cares, I used to know where to find empty cordial bottles to take in for the 20c refund and play games, I even knew one shop that would take your bottles out the back when you cashed them in, you could then sneak up the lane and pinch them back and cash them in again, only once though, decided doing that twice in a row might be pushing my luck.

As a preteen I would hang around at sporting events such as the cycling track at Devonport or the cricket and wait for people to finish their drinks and politely ask them if I could have their bottle, most said yes. Sometimes there were other kids there that you had to compete with, this meant you had to ask people if you could have their bottle when they were finished in advance, before they finished it, then that was marked as yours and you had a patch that was yours that you would walk around waiting for people to finish their drinks and frowning on other kids who looked like they might ask one of your customers ;)

Memory is a bit hazey (god bless Beer :) ). We used a stripped down 'clicker' (can't remember if we broke the end off or dismantled it) and physically applied the raw wires to the machine. I specifically remember when first trying it ... my mate telling me to click it on the 'bolts' on the mech door and not on the mech plate itself and that lowboys appeared to have a better chnace of creditting up. I remember creditting up a lowboy 'Exerion'. I also remember a friend trying to credit up 'Rygar' ... and seeing the screen go blank :confused: After he killed the Rygar .. we pretty much stopped from what I recall.

This electronic lighter is a perfect little gift from Ireland. Featuring a cheeky looney leprechaun the design has a funny play on words about Ireland; a country where the craic is mighty. This lighter has an adjustible flame and the ignition is child proof.

An added feature of this is the metal bottle opener at the base which makes this lighter truely unique and a practical must-have.

The iLevar has a timeout function that requires you to close and reopen the cap if it has been left open for a brief period. That can get a little annoying but might also make it safer if children are around and you happen to leave the lighter laying open.

From there just press and hold the button to light the twin plasma arcs. The tip is also entirely exposed for easier access to tight spaces, and the friendly shape is kind to your palm. I had no issues igniting the stovetops, fireworks, or charcoal chimney.

Why so sour? Well, the original Zippo was actually made in Bradford, Pa., not in China, and lighting it meant rolling a knurled thumb-wheel against a flint to create a spark. This replacement insert has a very tiny button to replace that, and, much like the LcFun, the ergonomics are just too cramped for easy use. Advantages? Sure, there are some. I could readily get a wick inserted between the dual plasma arcs to light a candle, but, as with other pocket designs, the cap itself prevents easily pushing the beam into a confined area. So with votives, you have to pull the wick out to get them going. Only freestanding tapers were easy to light.

I used all these lighters exactly the same way. I used them to light votive-style candles, both fresh and previously burned. (Only some of the lighters I evaluated were able to light votive-style candles that had burned down somewhat, because of the increased distance between the lighter and the wick.) I also used them to light our home gas range and learned that wand- or stick-style lighters were best for this job because your hand is not close to the gas when it ignites.

Outside, I also lit a backpacking canister stove that runs on pressurized propane, and my wife and I each evaluated the lighters on some home fireworks, like sparklers, as well as using them to ignite newspaper stuffed inside a chimney starter I use to fire up our charcoal grill. For all these evaluations (save the kitchen stove and the votives), we were dealing with very windy weather but relatively low humidity. As noted in the introduction, we also held each lighter directly in front of a high-powered fan.
