bbq ignitors

[pvt joker]

hey
i just phoned the bbq store to c if they sell bbq spark igniter things
and they do how ever the woman said we would need to see your bbq first i go nagh it is for a science experiment and she goes oh well we would have to see what it is for as alot of people use them for things that are illegal (haha)
so my question here is what is something i can make that is legal that would require an igniter and could pass as a science experiment
sounds crazy i know

just say ur going to show how static electricity can jump to complete its circut, just get some wood and put some wires on it and point to a spot and be like thats where the sparker goes. (does a bbq lighter use static electrisity?) or what u could do i go to a trash dump and look for a grill and rip its ignitor off, thats how i got mine

[pvt joker]

haha excellent sounds like fun

they probably said that because you sound like a kid. cant you just go to walmart and pick one up? they dont ask questions, and if they did, they get minimum wage, so just tell them to shove it

[pvt joker]

yer thats most probably the reason how ever we dont have a walmart in aus so ill try say kmart of mega mart but i think they will only sell those long neck flam lighter things but i dunno worth a try eather way mum wants no part in the cannon so i have to go with my brother so the age thing is no problem


thanks

i cant see ur double post because spudshot deleted it already

[pvt joker]

oh true sorry about that

[sergeantspud2]

what about ebay

[pvt joker]

had a look
nothing
what about the little zap things out of jet lighters
can i creat multiple sparks with that.
i think ill just do the camera thing
seems preety complicated but i mite be able to do it also does having multiple sparks increase the power i think ill use a spark strip and stuff


thanks

using multiple ignition points increases the chance of igniting a mixture, and its also beneficial in a large chamber

im in australia too i got an ignitor from bunnings its so anoying getting asked why you are buying pipe and stuff like that
ive got to find an excuse to use so i can buy a can of bbs i usually say its for a school assignment but the guys at the gunshop are smart and say "why do you need bbs for a school assignment"
and also pvt joker dont get an igniter from the tip they usually dont work for very long just take one from a friend or rellitives bbq and say it was broken or something?

Yeah, I hate age discrimanation too!
Yesterday, I found out you can't buy epoxy at walmart 'till your 18+!
It seems that policy-makers don't understand the practice of mischeif... we make due - Can't get epoxy? Use something else!

Anyway, just bring you mom. Give her the cash, and tell her to buy it.
That's how I got my epoxy and bbq ignighter, pellet gun, slingshot band...
