Learn to Make an Emergency Light From a Pencil

A short guide to making an emergency light, from an average pencil, if your car brokes in middle of a dark road.

What do you need?

· A pencil

· A 12v battery (like car ones)

What do you have to do?

First, split the pencil open (Picture 1). Then extract the pencil lead, and brake it into 2 sections (each section will last 5-10 minutes. Take some wire and attach it to the lead (Picture 2). Finally, attach each wire to the - and + of your car battery (Picture 3). Now you can use it, but hurry up, and do not use it near gas!
