Everyone has seen a Battery used with steel wool, a piece of foil or a paper clip to make fire. How often do we have a Battery along with steel wool, a piece of foil, or a paper clip? I often have Alkaline Batteries with me but none of those pieces of steel mentioned before. This is just one more way to use a Battery to make fire. Manganese dioxide is a substance that can be found in alkaline batteries. I have discovered that oxidants such as this make great ash substitutes for the Rudiger Roll friction fire method.  
As evidenced in the video, Manganese dioxide works amazingly well with this method. It actually only requires a small amount to work with the Rudiger Roll. The battery that I take the Manganese dioxide from in this video was already dried out. MANY uses can be gotten from just one battery. I have also used this from a freshly opened battery. In this video I wanted to demonstrate how efficient this will work in nature. I also am using a small set that didn't require any special preparation - tree bark and stone base-5 inch long set - this is my No Tool Concept using natural surfaces. Manganese dioxide will work with any plant, twine or fabric that you see in my other videos. 
From my understanding some scientists put out a few articles over the possibility of its use by Neanderthals a few years back. I have been using Manganese dioxide with this method long before those articles were written. My first video over its use reflects this (my first video over its use was released on Aug-9-2015).

I take NO responsibility for any injuries that may occur If you choose to duplicate what you see in this video. Reproduce this experiment at your own risk. If you do not feel comfortable attempting something then don't do it. 

Here's a video were I use Manganese dioxide from a freshly opened battery :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xyfNNdrWRc
