So, I began my quest to make very polished flame thrower gloves awhile back, and some pretty big progress has been made. The parts are being fabricated, and will be shipped monday. Ive got EL wire and stuff for looks and am partially done molding the armour plating. (Ala star wars clone armour; will be up to elbow onle. full coverage for hands and stuff, shiny black, with everything internal) However, I have run into a snag regarding ignition. I was initially planning to use two electronic BBQ lighters. they are basically a Flyback Transformer, but they are nicely packaged. But, as luck would have it, through several design changes, and with the size cuts afforded by micro sized pneumatic components, the overall package size has dropped significantly. Which is good. But, with the newfound tinyness this brings, it also means that those igniters would be massive by comparison. So I need something in a smaller package. My current design has the electricity arcing through the stream, for great justice, and maximum ignition potential. I would like to keep it that way, but I cant seem to find any smaller versions of that kinda thing. the only thing out there are stun guns, and only a good one can do what I need (the cheap ones overheat really quick, and thats no good) and I cant really afford a good one, let alone two. (Custom machined parts kinda hurt my bank account)
So I implore thee, find me something smaller that will give me a lovely arc of electricity that stays as long as the button is pressed, and runs off under 5 volts.
