 this is better
	this is betterI was thinking about finding two pencils, wearing down both ends to expose the 'lead', connecting to the mains via a 40watt incandescent lightbulb (IE, break into the lamp wire and split the live wire out & cut it, and connect each loose end of it to a pencil) then use the two pencils, held wrapped in fabric, to make an arc light over some tinder
Dangerous but at about 120v assuming the lead-carbon arc had a similar resistance to the bulb coil, it'd be pretty hot without being entirely lethal to the user
