Fire with coke can and chocolate

We talked about this last year. I tried it with a Mt. Dew can, and I used polishing compound and a Dremel, but that just speeds up the process. I was able to make sticks smoke, but didn't have any decent tinder so I didn't get a fire going.

yeah i remember the old thread i even tried it but didnt do to well the first time i didnt use a hershey bar i used a hershey kiss. it really shined up but not as good as the other page.

Would this work with just a mirror, or is it really contingent on the curvature of the bottom of the pop can, ie a parabolic reflector?

It should work with anything (lens or mirror) that can concentrate the sunlight. Flat mirrors
will work if you use enough of them.

I stand by my earlier post. I'd drink the coke and eat the chocolate. Then I would toss the can and wrapper over my shoulder. Within 3 minutes 12 EARTH FIRST! activists, a Forestry Service helicopter, Marijuana Suppression Task force in Ninja black and 5 ex GFs ( You never gave me Godiva chocolates) would show up. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That is cool.
