The group got together to try and come up with the model for the gas release mechanism. Building and manufacturing this mechanism are two very different concepts but to prove the concept we must make these scrap models. This model in particular used mechanics sets to construct a frame for the lighter to sit while the wedge was positioned to depress the gas release lever on the lighter. The wheel that can be seen in the following images is spring loaded to allow it to push past the wedge whilst forcing it to depress the lever.

This concept can be used int the product to create real flames!
