Yes I've read of people using those and they do work but, if you want the ultimate ignition go with a stun gun. There are directions all over this site on how to do this check it out.

You can always make your own out of a flyback for a little under 30 if there is a good electronics store close by (NOT RADIOSHACK).

This may be the same thing your talking about. Try using a disposable camera. Directions are on this site and I think it's portable(uses batteries).
