Testing igniters made of Cat5 cable and 32AWG nichrome wire, dipped in QuickDip. Filmed using a Canon SD450 at 60fps. The first two tests are with igniters that didn't have enough and then had too much pyrogen and were therefore scraps.

  • I don't have the length of the wires, but the wire has a resistance of about 0.9ohm/inch of wire. The battery used was a 12V sealed lead acid battery used for starting an electric lawnmower.

  • Could you put more info on it.

    Length of nichrome wire, length of cable, the battery used (voltage, amps or may be types of battery)
