Description

WARNING - This is a high-voltage device. Use caution to avoid receiving an electric shock.

This is a battery-powered high-voltage pulse igniter (spark generator) with a nominal output of 32,000 volts (32kV). The output generates a strong hot spark making it ideal for a potato gun ignition system. It's an improved version that is smaller and has a higher output voltage (previously 30kV).

The spark can jump a gap of up to 10mm and produces a hot spark for reliable propellant ignition.

ACCESSORIES NOT INCLUDED - To get this working you'll need a battery holder, batteries, a switch, and some electrodes. It will work from 2 x AAA alkaline batteries in series to make 3 volts DC for the input. Larger batteries such as AA, C, and D size can also be used along with a single rechargeable Li-Ion cell such as a 18560.

ADVANTAGES COMPARED TO PUSHBUTTON PIEZO
Higher output voltage generates a hotter spark
Quieter than the clack-clack of piezo igniters
Continuous spark output while powered

NOTE
> Residual voltage may remain when input power is disconnected. Short the output to discharge before touching.

ABOUT POTATO GUNS
Potato guns are NOT illegal in New Zealand but you do need a firearms license to own and use one. This applies to combustion-type potato guns, i.e. the sort that uses deodorant, hairspray, or similar gas fuel. Because they make an explosion (like the gunpowder in an ammunition round) to propel the projectile they are technically classed as a firearm and should be treated the same as when used and transported.
