Abstract

See full text

The present invention presents a power generating spark emitting apparatus in which a mischmetal flint rod also operates as a electron generating source. Either the handle material itself or an internal cathode operates in conjunction with the mischmetal flint rod to form a power source. The cathode and anode are connected across a light emitting diode or incandescent lamp to provide an illumination device. A strike plate mounted within a guided angled recess is disposed on a housing to present the mischmetal flint rod with a strike source such dragging the mischmetal flint rod across the strike plate release sparks from the mischmetal flint rod sufficient to ignite a tinder bundle.
