Many cars have burned up in legitimate accidents with faulty cigarette lighters. I’d like to tell you how to induce an "accident" with a modified cigarette lighter. If you already know, or don’t wish to know, how cigarette lighters work, you can skip the next paragraph.
The timing of the lighter comes from a spring, and a bimetal strip. Metal tens to expand when heated, but different metals expand at different rates. 2 metals bonded together make a bimetal strip. You can find bimetal strips in round thermometers and thermostats. When you push the lighter in, the bimetal clip grabs hold of the end of the lighter. It closes the circuit, and the lighter heats. As it heats, the clip loosens its grip on the lighter, until the heat causes the clip to expand so much that the clip releases its grip on the lighter, and the spring pops it out.
Don’t bother modifying the bimetal clip inside the lighter socket. It’s far simpler to modify the lighter and remove the spring. Hold the outer part of the lighter between your first and second finger, and push the knob with your thumb. The heater end of the lighter will stick out. Grab it with your other hand. Now you can unscrew the plastic knob. You will see three tabs holding the rest of the lighter together. Use a screwdriver or something similar to bend them up. Take that plate off, and remove the spring. Put everything else back together, including the knob.
With no spring, the bimetal clip will loosen as the lighter heats, but the lighter will not pop out. Therefore, the lighter will contnue heating until:
1. The battery is completely discharged. This might take weeks.
2. Someone pulls it out, usually when they see smoke.
3. The wiring becomes disconnected, often the result of a fire.
Where is the lighter socket in most cars? On the dashboard, of course. What is the primary material used in the dashboard? Plastic! With a little luck, the melting dashboard will ignite, and spread to the rest of the car.

The plastic handle melts off the lighter, but the element stays in place, heating up the socket, and the dashboard it’s in.

Jul 04, 2005 7:45 pm - The gay men were a response to the ghey-o-meter someone else posted. I won’t post them in your comments in the future, but can’t you at least write your own diss comments? Copying another diss is just plain lazy!
