An investigation into the sensitivity of commonly used electric igniters

摘要

A variety of commercially available and commonly used electric igniters were tested for sensitivity to shearing, crushing and static stimuli in an attempt to reproduce “real World” usage of igniters and to determine which igniters were more or less sensitive to the various stimuli used. The apparatus was designed and build to be able to be reproduced by anyone in order for them to gain a better understanding of the sensitivity of the igniters they use in their displays.
