Brought here from across the sea, the ocean. There, in the United States, was bought on an Internet for $ 35.

Testing. Yesterday warmed 9 hours, so that the hands could not take it, but poured about half of the maximum count. This morning, poured fuel for 24 hours of heating pads (on top of the plastic kettle risk). Let's see how much is enough.

Bank of gasoline is inserted into the box on purpose. A heating pad was taken, of course, without it - in an airplane to transport gasoline prohibited.

Inside the body - the usual wool, as in lighting a Zippo. There poured fuel and set top box - the catalyst.

The core of the unit - the catalyst is similar to felt. How could this mysterious hidden fiberglass platinokatalizirovannaya plate - unknown :)

The set, by the way, went and cheholchik. To the touch like as flissovy.

Dimensional "teapot": lower risk - 12-hour heat, top - for 24 hours.

Zippo Handy Warmer near the Zippo Replica 1941. Communicate ;) Discuss ZippoCollector ;))

Easy to use: pour gasoline, wear and heat the catalyst to a flame. Then the reaction begins. "Acceleration" takes a couple of minutes.

On one of the sides of the lid there is a yellow light-sticker. After the ignition should be put into the center of the catalyst and wait 10-15 seconds. If it turns red - it means the process has begun.

To stop the process enough to remove the catalyst. For 15-20 seconds, the oxidation process is stopped.

Thank You :) I just had a good technique: Canon 5D + 24-70/2.8 L + tripod. Maximum aperture is closed, the shutter speed reaches up to 5 seconds. Oh, and a professional photographer organized the whole thing ;)

2 botas - Thanks for the detailed manual for the heater, always wanted to know what it is, and how! )

Yes it super design, that would have made such a lighter would be class!

The duration of the test is over: heater worked for 18 hours, and was so hot that the hand could hold 7.5 seconds from power. 18 hours - this is certainly not declared Zippo'y 24 hours, but still not bad. The tests found that:

1) Run the heater is not the first time. It may take 6.3 attempts. And is not warm up 3.5 seknud, says an instruction and 10 seconds.

2) Kindle petrol lighter somehow dumb - gives strong soot. Probably better to gas. If the very metal surface of the catalyst unit body with soot can be cleaned even once, here's this "felt" - is problematic. Although the instructions below fueled Zippo :)

3) Warmer best keep warm when it is in the bag. If you get it - the heat, the greatest bank, goes to atmosferu and warmer becomes a little less warm.

4) there is barely perceptible odor. Zippovskim smell gasoline.

5) And where do you think made ​​Zippo Handy Warmer? In Japan :) "Made to Zippo quality standarts in Japan".

Recently also got this hot-water bottle. To experiment, tucked alcohol. It works! Only true reaction went from 5-6 proc + odor was such that he had to keep her in the hallway - vinegar, already has cut nose. And characteristically, she lay there for more than 10 hours and in the morning I was more or less warm. Temperature warmer just like seasoned petrol. A! and dressed with an alcohol ignition caught fire nozzle, from all slots flames flooded. Disinfected putting the lid.

Although the site is even nothing!

how else to say it ...

"The history of the idea of creating and implementing windproof Zippo petrol lighter belongs Bleysdell engineer George Grant (George G. Blaisdell), it served as a prototype for the Austrian lighter production, and spark ideas gave his friend Dick Dresser."

In this passage three errors. Text being too much like the article in the Wiki-py of Zippo. Next:

"Lighter Zippo (Zippo) long and deservedly is an attribute of useful items and amazing things."

Another mistake. These are the only moments of which caught the eye for 10 minutes.

I found this site about three weeks ago, it is not working yet ...

and they can not even write ....

Suspicious prices there ...) the feeling that everything in 2000P))

Someone tell me where to buy a separate unit - a catalyst?

Right now I will talk shit again :)

I have a feeling that in the hot-water bottle Zippovskoy half its value has the inscription 'Zippo' :) Vintage catalytic heaters on Ebay and for dam penny price :) Now I'm cold just use a hot water bottle, from the distant 1950:

Also agree. Why pay for the labels! Become even warmer Soviet GK-1 for which the Army did, from Moscow ordered by mail for 600rub. Old found on Ebay - a reference to http://495ru.ru/adv/28781/ . The catalyst as in modern heating pad on it to change every season is not necessary. Very pleased!
