a couple of days ago there was this thing on the yahoo! homepage about toy story 3 and there was this robot (sparks) that reminded me about a toy electronic drill that made a continuous spark in a cavity. long story short do you think its a good sparker?

Yeah, it's just a flint sparker with a motor... People have used flint sparkers on cannons, but only the kind you spin with your fingers. IIRC, SF sponsor, launch potatos sells them...
Life's too short to mark off the items on your wish list...
