bostamy Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 I am working on a project where i need to ignite propane gas. I am trying to come up with a circuit that will produce a tiny spark across two wires. I want the circuit to be powered by a small battery (AAA,AA,9V) and as small as possible...any suggestions?

ante Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hi,Small is relative, what do you consider small? Would an ignition coil from a motorcycle and four D-cells with a switch be small? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prateeksikka Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 hi audioguru!what is the principle behind these spark generators?high voltage electrodes brought close?as in a welding system or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostamy Posted March 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 i am looking for something pretty small (the total size of the circuit might be about the size of a D cell (excluding battery). I once saw a gas grill ignitor that ran off a single AA battery but never got the chance to take it apart to see how it worked. I imagine it has some kinda of DC to AC converter which it then passed through a transformer. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
