Using friction to produce heat. Spinning a stick fast in a small depression in another stick can do it. You need very good tinder. That is fluff which plants produce around seeds or elsewhere. You can wrap a string or small rope around the stick and use another to form a bow. You can spin the stick faster that way. Sometimes you can just use a two fairly flat boards. Rub one against the other fast enough long enough and you get heat.
Fine steel wool will ignite too when heated enough.
Focusing light with a large magnifying glass will give enough heat to ignite the right substance. It helps a little to heat dark things. I have heard that ice can be formed into a lens to do the trick but have never seen it.
Sparks can be produced in a number of ways. Flint and steel will produce sparks. That is how a lighter works. Striking many rocks together will produce sparks. Just keep trying it. Use hard rocks. Also many electrical devices can produce sparks. Batteries which have a charge can do it. You could use a spark plug out of an engine to get a good spark if it is a multicylinder engine and the engine runs without one cylinder.
Fluff can be found from cotton socks. It will ignite from a spark.
Do not do this without intelligent help around. Fires can easily get out of control. You probably do not need a fire anyway. Use a microwave.
