i need a cheap$$ way to spark a combustion
NOT the camrea flash or any thing big
i need something small cheap that works...
i was thinking a battery hook up but i was told it wasnt powerful enough...

spudfarm: wouldn't he have to change the steel wool every time he shoots?

Yep, he would but you don't need much... A small bag that cost five bucks would last for a long long time...
Grill starters is the best bet...in fact it is all I ever use...

can you post some pics? what kind of bbq lighter a piezo or electric? what fuel are you using, maybe you are using too much or not enough to ignite.

decrease the span of your spark gap... you don't need a huge spark to ignite. but your best bet would be to buy a new bbq sparker, (depending where you live) they have them for 10 bucks at home depot and 12 bucks at fleet farm.

Well it says if all else fails.
Maybe not one that powerful. It looks about 1500W. A 500W tesla will do. But if you need 15 gaps for a hybrid...

lol...15 gaps...chamber would be about 20 feet in diameter and 100 feet long to need 15 spark gaps lol. but in a clear chamber, that would be pretty cool, even cooler than a spark strip.

I spent about 10 bucks with shipping for a 70kv stun gun a few years ago online. Good price and GOOD ignition.
