The Aviator’s Ember 2.0 reflects feedback and suggestions from customers who experienced the wonder of the first Aviator’s Ember. It was already a marvel for a firestarter that creates fire out of thin air. But Boston-based company Aerohart made it even more robust and user-friendly, while maintaining its aeronautic-inspired mechanism.
This fire piston runs on the same thermodynamic principle that powers modern diesel engines and jet planes. It creates fire by compressing air to activate fast, furious combustion. This rapid movement creates the spark that lights tinder without fuel or a flint. It also retains the same aerospace-engineered 6061 aluminum construction of its predecessor.
But the Aviator’s Ember 2.0 is now 50% wider and longer for a more confident grip and control with every strike. It measures 1.08″ wide, 5.12″ long, and weighs 4.7oz (133g). It now features a sandblasted and anodized body in a deep black finish, making it more robust than the original silver.
Additionally, angular holds and micro-grooved channels along the body provide a more secure and comfortable grip. They keep the piston steady and secure when you brace it against a hard surface and bring it down. The same holds provide leverage when you pull the shaft free from the chamber or unscrew the bottom.
Moreover, Aerohart tightened the tolerances between the piston and the chamber inside the Aviator’s Ember 2.0 to deliver more reliable pressure. The new chamber holds more pressure. It only needs one swift plunge to compress air and create fire. Then a lanyard hole lets you thread a paracord or attach the piston to a carabiner for enhanced portability.
