Electric Match

This instructable will show me making an electric match suitable for igniting fireworks.
It will cover the materials, tools and techniques used.

When I use thees i set them of with a 12 volt battery.

This is a pyrotechnic device which could cause harm and might be illegal to make in some countries, if unsure regarding laws and safety be sure to ask someone who knows.
As stated, this could be dangerous and I will not take any responsibility for damage caused by it.


Now to the fun of creating.
This is my very first instructable so bare with me.

Step 1 Tools

You will need a basic setup of tools for making this device.

I used the following:
- Long nose pliers
- Side cutter
- Hot glue gun
- Knife
- Multimeter (ohm meter)

Check out my new instructable. It's called: Free Energy Generators. They really work.

I keep reading these, hoping to see something reusable, or less time consuming to make. Have wanted to hook up sort of a magazine of 10 firecrackers, to a motion detector and a 4017 chip, detonating one firecracker each time motion (cat) is detected. It would be a good project, if only had to replace the used firecrackers.

You could use a 12 volt cigarette lighter and place the fuse on it, then connect the lighter to a relay and pull it for a couple of seconds. Then just replace the fire crackers.

Pardon, I don't speak English, maybe I passed it, but I think you don't say if this device goes with a battery or home electric line. ¿How many Volts/Amperes needs it?

Thanks for your feedback, forgot to mention that. I run them on 12 volts from a small led-acid battery, I've added it to the instructable.
If I have the need for smaller currents, like in special effects i tend to use an other igniter based on Christmas lights. Later I may cover them as well.
