This is how to make Electric igniters from everyday materials if you dont know where to get model rocket igniters.
Materials you need either A Toaster
Or. An Aquarium Heater
And the Following
Blackpowder (optional)
9volt Battery or. Transformer that outputs a minimum of 10volts.
speaker wire(#2)
soldering gun or hot glue gun
Procedure Take apart the toaster or the Heater until you find the extremely thin wire(#1), this is the wire that glows red in the Toaster and the heater, and Remove the wires.
next Cut the wires into 3 inch sections, you should have at least 50 wires.
next solder a speaker wire(#2) to each end of the smaller toaster wire(#1). next hook these #2 wires to the + and - terminals of the battery/Transformer.
If using Transformer Plug it in.
The small toaster wire(#1) should be glowing Red.
If using the black powder make a paste with it by adding very small amounts of water and cover the small toaster wires(#1) with the paste and allow to dry overnight.
When complete you can put the small wire(#1) in a bomb or use them to burn people.
Have fun and be careful.

Feb 04, 2006 6:23 pm - tried it woth a 14.4 volt drill battery. works really good. if u use steel wool u can use it to lite weed (or cigaretts w.e.)
P.S. if u use the drill batt. then use the top metal thing and bottom to attack the wires to
