Spark Ignitor
From Open Source Ecology
- Spark ignitor from a kitchen gas lighter. Used to run IC model engines - honed by hand! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09R6teBOlco
- Push button spark ignitor for gas grill - [1]
- One suggestion - run a stepper motor with an eccentric to push a pushbutton ignitor. Or, run a 12 v spark ignitor.
- Piezo igniter - [2]
- Spark electrode - [3]
- Spark gap ignitor - up to 1/2" gap between wires - [4]
- SparkFun spark gap ignitor - [5]
