Explore the engineering of a car cigarette lighter through industrial CT scans, revealing an efficient analog design that operates without digital components.

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.

    I learned the hard way that

    1. it still worked even if the car was off and

    2. even if you pop it out early, perhaps thinking it’s not working, it can still be hot enough to burn you even if it isn’t red hot like you normally see it.
