Metal hybid ignition question

[bigbob12345]

I dont get how people hook up the ignition system on a metal hybrid wont the electricety go all over the metal because it conducts electricity

[Maniac]

many put some insulation around the spark gap

As simple as the following example.

Only one electrode needs to be insulated from the other. I usually hook the ground electrode to the cannon body anywhere, and run the hot electrode through a piece of 1/4" nylon bolt with #6 threaded rod to insulate it from the cannon.

Bigbob, here's something to think about;

A 4-cylinder gasoline engine can be described as a
Quad, full-auto, 8X hybrid spud gun that fires a captured round

A gasoline engine is metal.
A gasoline engine uses a spark to ignite the fuel in the cylinder.

How does a gasoline engine do that without the electricity going all over the metal?
