aquaman Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Wow. How long did that take you to build? That's amazing. I wish I had the brains and time to build that. I will probably try to build one this winter. Where did you get all the switches, wires (electronics)? Radioshack or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashzone Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well, I got the stuff at this place called norvac electronics. I think its only in oregon, but you should look around or somthing to see if you can find one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brainfever Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Here's a direct link to my electric igniter box image page: http://www.geocities.com/brainfevert/igniterbox.html It's a pretty basic design with 4 lantern batteries and a capacitator to deliver high current when needed (gonna fit in a bigger one though). I'm also planning for an analog volt meter to show how fast the cap loads and determine when I need to replace the batteries. It currently has 50 outputs, which is enough for now. I'm looking for a way to double it with only 1 wire to spare in my 8 pair cable, but didn't come up with anything safe yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its only in oregon, but you should look around or somthing to see if you can find one.HAha wow your from Oregon too? Neato. I too paid a visit to Norvac to make an electrical igniter. (to bad they don't cary very fine nichrome wire). Mine is a simple blue box with a contiunity light and a button. SImple and unreliable (I still haven't gotten this peice of crap to work right.
