OK I said I was going to post it so here's the ignition sytem I came up with. Built it all myself. Yes it's overly complicated but that's just me.

I was hoping for some more input on this thing. Does anyone have any experience with chamber-shorts?

Would we be able to see a circuit schematic for this maybe?? (I mean the part that generates the spark)

Yea, I'm at work right now but when I get a chance at home I'll sketch one up and post it. It may be a little messy though. I didnt really use any plans. I just went to Radio Shack and looked around, kinda figured it out as I went along. But yea I'll post it.

OK so I decided that instead of drawing it I'd just take a picture and label. The two 1/4" mono jacks are for the battery pack and the wires which I have hooked up to 1/4" mono plugs. The battery pack plugs into the left jack and the wiring on the right. the polarity doesnt matter at all so long as you have it flowing right through the LED as most LED's will only allow current to flow one direction.

hmm maybe we have a different idea of a chamber short.

Well what that is is the box for routing the electricity. What I'm doing is stringing a wire between the alligator clips inside the barrel and shorting it out with too much current for it to handle.
