How does a car cigarette lighter work? (www.lumafield.com)

This is an ad for something CT-scan-related, but it contains a good breakdown of how an old car cigarette lighter works. And it has a couple interactive CT Scan explorers past the video.

[off topic?]

You used to be able to get a special dispenser that would hand you a lit cigarette as you drove.

“...a built-in cigarette case which “hands” you a cigarette at the [unintelligible] of a convenient lever.”

Really disappointed that's all that link had... No pictures or illustrations, not even a proper description :/

Found it in the Popular Mechanics issue.

A "smoke."

This one has images and a diagram. So you pull the lever on the bottom and on top a cigarette will be Pezzed out. Here's the car it was installed in. Didn't find anything about it being lit though.

I wanted a video, but couldn't find one.

No image or diagram? What's the point of going to the trouble of writing an article of solely words about something most people have never seen before?

check the thread. Other people are smarter than us.

Work smarter, not harder

And they say no one wants to work these days ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was the auto play auto focus video ad not enough of a motivator?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 1 points 3 months ago

"motivator"? I'm sorry, what am I supposed to be motivated to do?
