where did u get the stuff?

[PyroWork]

i made mine, it doesn't work.. i used a toggle switch that has only 2 connections.. is it because of the toggle switch or beacuse i connected it in the wrong connector?? pls reply. :D

[da_tech_man]

you need a more powerful batt. with longer wires to the ignitor

[PyroWork]

where will i hook my wires in the toggle switch???can u make a video testing this???

[fullysik]

is there a specific wire i have to use or can i just use any wire

[aeronut01]

What kind of igniter did you use? The ones I use require 3 new 9 Volts wired in parallel to work, but yours only needs one!

[erie94550]

I made this and used your igniter and it didn't work.. SO i checked the voltage and its only putting out about 8.88 volts instead of 9v. Should that effect it??

[Patented]

looks good but its the same as lighting up your fireworks with a lighter because your wire are way to short , you should make them longer so you could detonate your fireworks at distance

[XIIIDom]

Looks pretty good - will it ignite steel wool?

[omfgitsjustinx3]

for the toggle swich which one do i put my 9 v connecter the ground power or acc

[bighead5454]

i could just imagine playing a prank with this yelling at the mailman FIRE IN THE HOLE then flip tthe switch or whatever and barely a poof of smoke comes from the mailbox

[mr_goodbytes]

bro, you're thinking too big. u should use a smaller box caus you have very little wiring. check out mine, its basically the same as yours except in a nice, handheld package

[jason kb]

[striker95]

what size project box is that . p.s. good instructible

[wazzup333]

I was just wondering if there was a certain shop you can buy the items for this intractable like radioshack by the way nice Instructable

[Zdawg]

Thanks :) when i get time ill post some instructables on: my Boe-Bot(paralex robot with basic stamp microcontroler brain and my code for it with diagrams for all the stuff ive done to it to improve it, if i ever finnish the online game im giong to start on ill post that, a bolt action pen gun(works so well), an electric firework "gun", and a few other things. ill try to start posting by the end of this month, keep an eye out :)

[pyra_builder_1337]

ya probly radio shack or the source would have this possibly a hardware or automotive store as well

[amenchoid]

On the toggle switch there are three connections one for power one for ground and one of ACC. Does it matter which ones I hook the wires to?

[Zdawg]

yes, to just out which ones, just use a 9 volt and an LED

[Zdawg]

hey plp i will post it later but put in a camera charge circuit so u can get a bit more voltage!

[Coodude26]

Nice does that switch light up when you use it?

[lunchboxslayer27]

yes it does, i used the same switch for a different project. its cool, but it kinda sucks up the battery......

[H0NDARACER12]

is it OK if I use positive on one wire and ground on another?

[Masteroffencing]

with that size box u could add a bigger battery and then it would work better

[chi chi chippy]

will it light a fire cracker the fuse? cuz that is wat im looking for something that will light visco. so if u have something tell me plz .

[Giller12]

It doesn't work

[Zdawg]

yes it does, it works with my igniters. But thats the only thing ive used it with. so make some of those and try it.

[acaz93]

but just one thing my friend , isProject not Prodject

[Patrik]
