No. The air in a dryer is around 90-170 degrees not hot enough to ignite a lighter. The Myth Busters actually did an episode about this where they ran a lighter through a dryer for an extended period of time. They also put a lighter in a toaster oven to find out what temperature it would explode at, it did not happen until it reached 350 degrees.

No, a clothes dryer does not generate enough heat to ignite a cigarette lighter. Cigarette lighters require a specific level of heat to ignite, which is much higher than what a clothes dryer can produce.

What happens if you burn gold with a lighter?

Heating gold with a lighter will not cause it to burn or catch fire. Gold is a non-combustible metal with a high melting point of 1,943 degrees Fahrenheit, so a regular lighter cannot generate enough heat to melt or ignite it.


How do you found the cigarette lighter fuse box on 99 Lexus ES300?

Look behind the change compartment (that's the little door just above your left knee). Pop it out one side at a time, then refer to the diagram on the back of said door. If the fuse is not the issue, it's a very good chance that your lighter is plain old broken. I had the same problem with the cigarette lighter (powering a cell phone adaptor) but it was intermittent. I found out it wasn't not the fuse but the center mount post (the positive terminal) of the cigarette lighter itself was loosened I had just to be tightened. The tough part is accessing the lighter itself. I ended prying it out from the top, giving just enough access to get to the bolt underneath with a tiny pair of pliers.


What causes the cigarette lighter in a car to be able to light cigarettes but not supply voltage to accessories?

The actual lighter is just a coil of metal that is specifically designed to provide enough resistance to electricity that when it is passed through it heats up, similar to the design of an incandescent light bulb. It's not storing electricity it's just resisting it enough to cause it to heat up.
