Simple Electronic Ignitor

simple ignitor to light off fireworks or explosives or just whatever. this project assumes that you know how to wire things together.

you will need the following for this project

1 toggle switch
1 push switch
1 old speaker/headphone cord (male)
1 9v battery
1 9v battery adapter plug in thingy
A small box to put it together in
alligator clips
headphone/speaker female plugin thingy
led if you want
some short pieces of wire
electrical tape

connect the stuff inside. connect one of the 9v battery wires to the toggle switch then the other toggle switch wire to one push switch wire and the other push switch wire to one of the wires on the little headphone jack thing (female) and then the other headphone jack wire to the other 9v battery wire. use electrical tape and tape all your connections. on the old speaker wire i had one that had a male output plug thing on both sides so i cut one off, stripped the wires and put alligator cips on the end.

when you put either nichrome wire between the alligator clips and arm it and press the button it should heat up the nichrme wire enough to ignite whatever you want to ignite (fuses, black powdwer, flash powder, etc.) i couldnt find any nichrome wire so instead i used this jewelry wire i foung in my moms closet lol. i hadto take a lighter and burn the wire first because it has an outer coating on it which is kind of like wire insulation i guess but once you burn it off it should heat up nice and hot. i used tiger tail steel jewelry wire.

go have some fiun with your new ignitor
