  • 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]

Sourcing

  • Grill ignitor on AA battery with a momentary switch - [6]. $30.
  • Silicon nitride electrode - [7]
  • 3kV Neon sign transformer - $11 - 30ma - [8]
  • Ignitor with 35" wire - [9]
  • 400kV at 5V - may be a good idea at 5V - coming from the Universal Controller - [10]
  • $7 on Amazon - [11]
  • 10kV Neon transformer - $34 - [12]
  • 10kV $37 amazon - [13]

Specs

  • 30kV/cm breakdown gap for air - [18]
  • Piezo igniter is only 800V - [19]
  • Ignitor for pressure washer - 15kV, 20ma - 300W?
  • Ignition transformer - 10kV, 20 ma - [20]. $70
  • 10kV neon transformer - $40 - [21]
  • This one says 30kV is required for Direct Spark Igniter - [22]
